Cruz Control at Paris Fashion Week

While Penelope Cruz celebrated boyfriend Javier Bardem's Oscar-night triumph in Hollywood, her younger--and, dare we say it, more breathtaking?--sister, Monica, was basking in retro-fashion at Christian Dior's Fall/Winter show, as part of the Paris Fashion Week.

Monica, 30, pulled up a front-row seat as Dior's creative director, John Galliano, showcased a groovy body of work that harked back to the days of bouffant hairdos and go-go dancers.

According to Galliano, the sartorial nostalgia trip was inspired by a look through the 1960s archive of American Vogue. The designer noted, "It was a time of optimism and bright colors. It seemed to me what is needed right now."

If you ask us, any place where Monica Cruz is in attendance is sufficiently bright, thanks very much.
