Penelope cruz: her five best red carpet hair moments

Happy Birthday, Penelope Cruz! The Spanish actress will be celebrating today and over the last two decades she has wowed with a variety of red-carpet looks.   Never one to blindly follow a trend, Penelope generally favours classic glamour and isn't afraid of an epic updo or two - as demonstrated in the February 2007 plaited style. Taking a cue from traditional low flamenco buns, this flat braided number combines elegance with drama.   It's rare to see Penelope sporting anything but sleek styles, but these soft curls from January 2007 spell all-out romance.Big, bouncy and seemingly free of any product, this is pure #IWokeUpLikeThis hair. I'd love to see her resurrect this simpler style for a red-carpet moment. Oozing vintage glamour, this high ponytail from May 2011 is a perfect complement to the high neckline and frou-frou frills of Peneople's gown. A short, sweeping fringe adds an Audrey Hepburn touch to this timelessly elegant look. We love seeing Penelope with a sculpted, elegant updo and this November 2006 look is no exception. Swept up and off the face into a high chignon, this look has real 360 appeal - volume on the crown, an unusual silhouette in profile, and a sleek bun at the back.
