Star of the upcoming
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides sequel, Penelope Cruz is the new face of Lancôme's Trésor campaign.
The ads, which in the past starred Isabella Rossellini and Kate Winslet, were this time shot by Mario Testino at the Hotel Crillon in Paris and will start appearing later this year.
