Penélope Cruz arrived at the NMACC Gala in Mumbai on Saturday, taking a statement-making approach to evening dressing.
In honor of the inauguration of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC), the actress wore a classic pink gown with a thigh-high slit on the side, with a feather-trimmed neckline cascading into a long cape from Tamara Ralph. She coordinated the look with silver metallic ankle-strap heeled sandals.
Fashion designer Tamara Ralph launched her new eponymous label in 2022. Previously, the designer was half of the duo behind the brand Ralph & Russo.

After launching the brand, in 2021, Ralph faced a multimillion-pound lawsuit against her, accusing her of siphoning money from Ralph & Russo, financial mismanagement and breaching contractual obligations by attempting to set up a competing business.
Ralph has continued with her business, and within a year her designs have already been worn by celebrities, including Halle Berry, Lily James and Kate Hudson.
In addition to her appearance at the NMACC gala, Cruz is also in post-production for her new film “Ferrari.” The movie tells the story of Italian sports car entrepreneur Enzo Ferrari, played by Oscar-nominee Adam Driver.
