Penelope Cruz looked marvelous in this Black Ruffled-Front blouse and Black & White floral skirt. The skirt actually remind me of my own smocked white & black floral skirt. Ti’s just fair that I create a Penelope Cruz look for less right? Hope you like it.

Find out after the fold…

Black Ruffled Front Blouse, $16.99

Studio M Shirred Floral-Embroidered Skirt, $39.99

Black Peep-Toe Pumps, $15.99

Since the skirt is smocked like mine, it’s probably better not to tuck the ruffled-front blouse in. Just a tip.

Airbrushing celebrities in magazine covers is notorious these days. Photoshop is pretty much synonymous to Hollywood Glamour. Remember the Faith Hill REDBOOK cover? Here’s a photoshoppesd Britney in ALLURE. Sad, but hey, that’s the world we live in. I happen to think those two women have normal bodies. All we can do as parents is tell our kids not to believe everything they see or read in the magazines. And that Beauty is not all about looking good. Brains, spirituality, how you treat people and Oprah matters A LOT. Sorry, had to add the last bit . But you get my point.

Here are some interesting pictures of Celebrity Before and After looks thanks to this website. The pictures aren’t that recent but I thought I’d share them with you anyway.

CAMERON DIAZ before.

CAMERON DIAZ after.

Notice how they lightened her hair and face, airbrushed her abs to hide the rockin’ lines that could be interpreted as manly attributes.

More celebrities after the fold……

NAOMI WATTS before.

NAOMI WATTS after.

Her oily complexion has been reduced and her freckles disappeared. Imagine that… LOL.

NICOLLETE SHERIDAN before.

NICOLLETE SHERIDAN after.

Thanks to photoshop, she looks youthful and absolutely glowing. I like her. She’s hot and she knows it.

PENELOPE CRUZ, before.

PENELOPE CRUZ, after.

Not a lot thing done except softening the face and airbrushing the lone bangs out of her forehead at first glance. If you look at the hips, both sides, the photoshop process made her look curvier. That actually sounds good, eh?

EVA LONGORIA, before.

EVA LONGORIA, after.

I like Eva Longoria, whoever cheats on her is one stupid man, heh. In these pictures, I have to honestly say that the photoshopped version actually looked more healthy. Check out the arms and some added curviness of the hips and upper thighs.

FYI, I’m not dissing these photoshopped celebrities. I happen to like all of them(well except Princess Fiona’s voice over, hah!), photoshoppped or not. In short, photoshop can make a celebrity absolutely flawless and healthy in some instances. At the end of the day, they’re just regular folks like us. Except they have celebrity perks that I’m sure all of us have wished for at one time or another. Minus the paparazzi hiding in my backyard of course
