Penelope left red-faced wearing scarlet dress!

Penelope Cruz had to appear on the red carpet wearing a scarlet suit.

London: Spanish actress Penelope Cruz was left red-faced when she had to appear on the red carpet wearing a scarlet suit, after her luggage got lost on a flight to London.

Cruz, 35, had jetted in to the British capital from Madrid to attend a glamorous event at the city’s Somerset House with her ‘Broken Embraces’ director, Pedro Almodovar. But when she arrived there, the actress was forced to wear a red suit that she had kept in her hand luggage, instead of the customary full-length gown. She was, however, not fazed by it, and was more worried about the unpredictable English weather. “I looked up at the sky and said, ‘Don’t you rain on me – I’m Penelope Cruz!’” a news daily quoted her as saying. But filmmaker Almodovar was sure a conspiracy was at work, and was convinced an avid fan was behind Cruz’s missing possessions. “I think it’s a plot. I think someone take it (sic). They bring it with him or her to home (sic). I think it was stolen for a fetishist,” he told a news daily. ANI
