Penelope Cruz: Perfection at 'Pirates' Premiere

Penelope Cruz dripped in diamonds at the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides premiere in Los Angeles - easily the most anticipated film of the summer.

The 37-year-old Spanish actress sparkled in Chopard jewelry and a midnight off-the-shoulder custom gown from Marchesa with embroidered feather and jet crystal detail.

Her platinum and diamond earrings are in the trendy teardrop shape - like Kate's royal wedding sparklers - and a whopping 57-carat platinum and diamond bracelet finished off the ice for this winning look.

But Penelope wasn't the only brunette bauble belle of the ball. Eva Longoria rocked teardrop danglers and a white shift dress - a great combo for spring/summer.

Emma Roberts wore a beaded Saloni dome necklace and Dana Rebecca Designs earrings to liven up her 'little black dress'.

Vanessa Hudgens decorated her ring fingers with a turquoise Herndon Heald ring and a skull silhouette.

And Teri Hatcher sported a great gemstone bangle look and her favorite accessory, daughter Emerson!

 

But perhaps the most photographed celebs of the night were superstar, Johnny Depp and 'Orignal Gansta' pirate, Keith Richards - Depp's good friend and well-known inspiration for his iconic Jack Sparrow role.

Both wore their signature rocker beads - and a laugh that sounded something like the one you take 'all the way to the bank'....

Further Elaboration on the People's Choice Awards

1) I WANT leighton meester's dress!!!

but her blush is frighteningly garish

2) PIRATE EXCELLENCE

John Christopher Depp III

I wish i could be his best friend...

we could sail the open seas,

run around on his private island,

drink fine wine,

talk about cryptozoology,

pay for everything in solid gold,

watch for the green flash on the horizon (it's a real thing!)

and just engage in general pirate-y pleasures

i know i don't know how to edit a photo

squint a little

Mikaeyla Michalka

(from Phil of the Future!!!)

doing her best to look like a piratey wench

4) DISCONCERTINGLY TAN DISNEY STARS

come ON sharpay. you can do better.\

is it just me or does he look oddly Latino?

She IS latina, so maybe this is a real color?

(if you are confused, yes she did wear two dresses. and yes, this one sucked)

5) THATS SO RAVEN

Honey, just because its your namesake,

doesn't mean you have to dress like a (skanky) bird.

otherwise Moses and Apple Martin are in big trouble.

6) INSANELY HIGH HEELS

the boys escorted Miss Stewart

-who looked very much the vampire (glittertits!) in that very tiny dress-

and her 5 1/2 inch Jimmy Choos

up to accept their award for Favorite Movie.

Also, her normally unkept hair looked DEEEEVINE!

So many people dislike her,

but I have this crazy infatuation with Kristen Stewart.

Be ready for a post on her soon.

Katy Perry's dress was, as Berit said, pure confection,

but those shoes?

6 inches of pure pink toe destruction!

7) PWN

That J.Mendel dress that Miss

I'm-so-very-innocent-but-I-still-manage-to-date-30-year-olds-and-John-Mayer

bored the death out of?

Well, Natalie Portman wore it on the cover of Vogue this month.

And, I must say, she went total black swan

and danced (pregnant!) circles around that little perma-smirker

mmm it took me 6 hours to create this post...

only for you my lovelies!

Stella McCartney Designs for Disney

Jewelry and fashion designers are the latest creative types to be tapped by Hollywood to bring buzz to upcoming film releases, and Disney/Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland is shaping up to be spring's big sizzler. So it comes as no surprise that another big name has attached themselves to merchandise jewelry for the movie (Tom Binns is also in the mix with some stunning looks I'm already 'mad' about).

The divine Miss Stella McCartney is the latest talent to head down the rabbit hole, with two Alice-inspired jewelry pieces - a charm necklace and bracelet - each adorned with AIW icons including a rabbit, a Mad Hatter's hat, a spade, club, heart and diamond. The muted pallette is accented with Swarovski crystals and will retail for $425 (necklace) and $395 (bracelet).

Curiouser and curiouser? Though the movie hits theaters on March 10th, you can buy the pieces for your next tea party (no, not THAT kind of tea party) next month at Stella McCartney stores worldwide.

What do you guys think of her contribution? Weigh in!
