As Penélope Cruz turns 50, it felt like the right time to reminisce on some of the Spanish actor’s best beauty looks. With her raven hair, fresh, even-toned complexion, wide smile, and dark features, she has always been a sight to behold and, on her fiftieth birthday, she looks better than ever. Whether it’s a sultry smoky eye or an elaborate Audrey Hepburn-esque up ’do–or her new blunt-cut bob–she hits the mark every time. Here, Vogue takes a look at some of her best hair and makeup moments.
