The actress seemed to join the growing number of stars to try out the gothic glamour trend in a fitted purple frock with a charcoal lace overlay.

While the cut of Cruz's Michael Kors number was demure thanks to its straight neckline and long sleeves, the intricate lace detailing still showed off plenty of skin. The 38-year-old teamed the design with a pair of matching satin peep-toe heels and a simple clutch bag. Wearing her brunette mane in tumbling curls, flashes of the star's diamond drop earrings sparkled through her locks. Cruz completed the look with smoky eye make-up but opted for a natural shade of lipstick. The Hollywood actress seems to be a loyal fan of th

Woody Allen scored artistically and commercially on his European tour stops in London, Barcelona and Paris but gets a face full of linguini for his efforts on To Rome With Love. At its worst squirm- and grimace-inducing, this is an ultra-upscale touristy spin through the Eternal City as if arranged by the concierge at the Excelsior Hotel. Rehashing gags and motifs familiar from various previous Allen films, all of them better done the first time around, the Sony Pictures Classics release might benefit initially from the good will generated by last year's Midnight in Paris, Allen's biggest hit ever, but word-of-mouth will nip hopeful expectations in the bud. Having opened in Italy on April 20 only in Italian-dubbed prints, the film had its English-language version world premiere Thursday at the Los Angeles Film Festival, with limited release to begin June 22.
