Hollywood starlet Penelope Cruz recently posed for a series of sultry snaps wearing a shiny latex ensemble and a teeny green gown ahead of her 50th birthday celebrations

Penelope Cruz has never looked hotter in recent snaps decked out in latex.

The Hollywood starlet posed in a shiny black corset for Elle Spain’s April issue as she showed off her curves for the front cover. Cruz posed with her arms crossed as the top snatched her hourglass waist, while her caramel locks were styled in loose curls with a middle parting.

Penelope wore a full face of makeup with a bronzed complexion, subtle eyeshadow and nude lipstick. Her skin glowed under the studio lights and the star looked toned and tanned as she grabbed her elbows with perfectly manicured hands.

She also posed for other pictures during the photoshoot, including a gorgeous snap in a mint green number. Penelope slipped into a plunging green gown embroidered with lace flowers that ran from the neckline down to her waist.

The dress also featured thin shoulder straps adorned with silver clasps, while the bottom half was covered in a green and grey chequered pattern. Cruz’s hair fanned out behind her shoulders as she tilted her head back and closed her eyes to pose for the shoot.

The Murder on the Orient Express actress then switched into a slinky black bodysuit for a third picture. Cruz wore a high neck, long sleeve top half that covered her whole body while the lower portion was cropped into hot pants.

She posed with one hand on her waist while her other rested on her chest as she looked over her shoulder and gazed off into the distance. Cruz added a chunky ring to accessorise and emphasised her natural beauty with a bright pink lipstick.

The cover feature celebrates Penelope’s 50th birthday, which is coming up on April 28. Elle wrote: “[…] we take a reflective journey from her childhood in Alcobendas to the conquest of Hollywood, passing through her marriage to Javier Bardem and her life experience: her motherhood.”

Cruz told the publication: “When I insisted on what I wanted to do, at least they didn’t laugh at me […] although no-one [in her family] dedicated themselves to anything related to art, there was always great respect and appreciation for music, opera, cinema.”
