Penelope Cruz Styles Celebs In Gap For French Vogue Cover (PHOTOS)

Actress Penelope Cruz served as the guest editor for May's French Vogue and, "She was very intense and precise about what she wanted," associate editor-in-chief Olivier Lalanne told WWD. Cruz created three different covers: one of her and Bono, one of her and Meryl Streep and one of her, Kate Winslet, Julianne Moore, Naomi Watts, Gwyneth Paltrow and Streep. All of the cover models are clad in either Armani for Project (Red) tees or Gap Product (Red) tees.

And not one black actress in the bunch. I guess Gabourey, Monique, Halle, Kerry Washington and Zoe Saldana were tied up somewhere.

Maybe they really were busy. Or maybe they're just not involved in the Red campaign, which is what that cover was supposedly about. In any case all those actresses are extremely talented. Halle Berry is one of the most beautiful, talented and well spoken actresses we have. In the Oprah pre-Oscar interview show where halle and PC interviewed each other, halle made Penelope seem clumsy - and I love Penelope - because she was so articulate. They're all wonderful, in my opinion. Just because they didn't make a particular cover of a particular magazine means nothing, in the grand scheme of things. Halle's been on plenty of covers over the years, for that matter. They all probably have. I think people just want to stir things up. It's silly.

When I say they've all made mag covers, maybe not Gabourey or Monique, yet, because they just made their first big movies. If they don't get offered more parts that's Hollywood's fault. I can't believe I'm going out of my way to defend myself about this when the whole color/race thing is not even an issue for me, and shouldn't be to anyone else. Not over a magazine cover, anyway. Just my two cents.

I'd like to see Penelope Cruz impersonate Jack Nicholson saying "Here's Johnny!". It would just be neat to see. Of course, after that one scene in "Broken Embraces", any scene of PC is a good one!

I wonder what message they are sending, to brown and yellow women who buy vogue magazine, when they put several pink skinned women actresses together with one Olive skinned PC?

Maybe Penelope had just chosen her closer friends, I know Penelope, Bono, W. Paltrow and K. Winslet are very close friends to her...and you are looking for a false argument...

That's easy for you to say when you don't have to go through life hardly ever seeing yourself reflected in magazines, movies, TV, etc. I love it when someone who isn't black tells black people how to feel. Just what we need and no better person to do it than YOURSELF, right?

Paltrow's American, for what it's worth. So is Streep. Penelope is Spanish. Not American, not African-American, not Latino or Hispanic, but Spanish. From Spain, like the other reader said. As for them all being white, Penelope chose who was going to do the covers. I'm sure she wasn't thinking brown, black or white? Spanish, British or American? when she was making her decision.

Didn't know you live in Penelope's brain.

Such a hater! You love a good fight, don't you. Maybe one day you'll grow up and lose the attitude. You won't be doing yourself any favors if you don't.

The cover with the ladies - at first glance I could only recognized Streep. It's soooo photo shopped.

exactly my first thought too.

All beautiful, but would it have been so hard to have invited one woman who was not of European descent?

Please stop the white-phobia!

I think that my having mentioned their great beauty (which I admire and esteem -- as is true for their intelligence and accomplishments) would disabuse you of such an idea. I would love to see women of colour invited to the party instead of marginalised in the worlds of beauty and entertainment. This is not such a radical proposition, and would be embraced by many who are moved by the beauty of all the world's nations and peoples. This is no phobia, nor is it exclusive, but an inclusive invitation for the appreciation of beauty, intelligence and inherent worth of all who share this beautiful earth with us.

No. Not until they include all women of all races.

Why is it you can never tell Naomi Watts? She is just another pretty face, but not unique....

Perhaps. But she can act her arse off.

Did the photographer give each woman a single word to keep in mind while clicking the camera?

All white women...except for PC.

PC is white. Last time I checked Spain is in Europe.

Spain being in Europe doesn't equate to her being white. Does it?

[sweetwhine]

OK. All white women.

Hurray - a 60-year old woman on the cover of Vogue. And she looks fantastic! Sadly, we will probably never see a cover like that on this side of the pond.

If I was Paltrow, I'd be mad. Everyone looks glamourous but her.
