Penelope Cruz exudes glamour in a black and white floor-length dress with a low cut sweetheart neckline as she’s joined by co-star Shailene Woodley at the Ferrari UK premiere

Glamour was the name of the game at the UK premiere of Ferrari at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London on Monday.

Penelope Cruz, 49, and Shailene Woodley, 32, led the way as they arrived on the red carpet at the glitzy event.

Spanish actress Penelope, who plays Laura Ferrari in the film, wore a black and white dress which featured a plunging sweetheart neckline and a sequinned top section.

The tiered white skirt featured a design of black flowers, with the lower section reaching right down to the ground.

Screen star Penelope completed her look with a cropped black jacket and she accessorised with some dazzling silver jewelled earrings. 

She was seen sheltering from the rain under a clear umbrella as she posed on the red carpet.

Shailene, who plays Lina Lardi in the movie, looked chic in a black mini dress with a plunging neckline.

The garment featured some abstract puff sleeves and perfectly accentuated her hourglass figure.

American actress Shailene wore a black pair of tights and opted for a pair of towering heels in the same colour to add a few inches to her stature.

The film has received largely negative reviews, with the special effects leaving fans openly laughing at supposedly dramatic moments during preview screenings. 

The decision to have the lead stars speaking in heavy – and often very poor – Italian accents has also drawn derision from critics. 

It is set in the 1950s and sees Enzo Ferrari, played by Adam Driver, grappling with troubles in his personal life as the Mille Miglia – an iconic Italian car race – approaches.

Enzo’s son Dino, who was meant to succeed him as the head of the family business, had died one year earlier of muscular dystrophy.

Entitled simply Ferrari, the movie is written and directed by Michael Mann, whose work includes such films as The Last Of The Mohicans, Heat and Public Enemies.

Adam is leading a starry cast that includes Penelope as Enzo’s wife Laura, to whom he was infamously unfaithful throughout his life.

Shailene is featuring as Enzo’s longtime mistress Lina Lardi, the mother of his son Piero, who is now vice chairman of Ferrari.

The logline for the movie reads: ‘A biopic of automotive mogul Enzo Ferrari, whose family redefined the idea of the high-powered Italian sports car and practically spawned the concept of Formula One racing.’

Also starring in the film is Patrick Dempsey as fellow racecar driver Piero Taruffi, Jack O’Connell as racer Peter Collins, Sarah Gadon as Linda Christian and Gabriel Leone as driver Alfonso de Portago.

Alfonso’s Ferrari racecar blew a tire which led to him and nine people in the stands dying after the vehicle crashed.

Enzo along with the tire manufacturer were charged with manslaughter. The case was dismissed, however.

Actor Patrick, 57, who is also a racing driver in real life, looked smart in a black suit which he teamed with a matching tie.

He wore a white shirt and completed his look by opting for some polished black shoes to match the rest of his attire.

The star was seen standing arm-in-arm with his make-up artist wife Jillian Fink who looked glamorous in a black floor-length dress.

Her garment featured a plunging neckline and she wore a shawl off her shoulders, low down over her arms.

The couple, who have been married since 1999, appeared in good spirits as they posed together in the red carpet.

Elsewhere, Jack O’Connell, who plays late British racing driver Peter Collins in the film, looked dapper in a black suit for the evening.

The actor, 33, wore a black V-neck top under his jacket and completed his look with a pair of matching shoes. 

Elsewhere, Geri Halliwell-Horner looked chic in an all-white ensemble as she arrived with her British former racing driver and current Team Principal of the Red Bull Formula One team husband Christian Horner.

Spice Girl Geri, 51, donned a white trouser suit, with the pop star wearing a white top with a low cut neckline under her jacket.

The children’s author carried a beige clutch purse with her and opted for a pair of black heels for the evening.

She cosied-up to Christian as the couple, who married in 2015, posed arm-in-arm on the red carpet.

Christian wore a navy blue suit which he teamed with a white dinner shirt which he wore open at the collar.

He wore a pair of smart black shoes to match the winter coat he wore over his suit jacket. 

Meanwhile, Jemma Kidd looked chic in a grey textured top with a square neckline.

The model, 49, wore some baggy grey trousers and a pair of heels as she posed on the red carpet.

The second and only living son of Enzo Ferrari, Italian billionaire businessman and sport personality Piero Ferrari, 78, attended with his wife Romina Gingasu, 31.

Piero was seen posing with the film’s director Michael Mann at the premiere.
