Penelope Cruz sparkles in colourful outfits and shows off gorgeous figure in tight pink bodysuit

PENELOPE Cruz shows she is a Hollywood figure to be reckoned with as she poses in a tight pink bodysuit.

The Spanish actress, 47, wore various outfits including a red Balenciaga gown, and a striped flamenco dress, for W Magazine’s Directors Issue.

In it, her friend and Oscar-winning Talk to Her director Pedro Almodovar, 72, imagines casting her for a role in opera Carmen.

Penelope said: “I have wanted to play Carmen since I was four. It is one of the great roles.”

Penelope is married to Spanish actor Javier Bardem.

He was her co-star in her first breakthrough role as Silvia in Jamón, Jamón, as well as starring alongside her in Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

The couple started dating in 2007 and they married in early July 2010 in a private ceremony at a friend's home in the Bahamas.

They have a son born in 2011 in Los Angeles and a daughter born in 2013.
