Marta Ortega and Penélope Cruz's looks at Paris's most exclusive summer ball

Paris celebrated one of the most elegant evenings of the summer last night, a gala ball , prior to its haute couture week. It was attended by numerous celebrities, including Spanish actresses Marta Ortega , president of Inditex, and Penélope Cruz . The event, organized by film director Sofia Coppola, was held at the Museum of Decorative Arts in the French capital and featured other celebrities such as Diane Kruger, Keira Knightley, Kirsten Dunst, and Princess Alexandra of Hannover. Spanish model and actor Jon Kortajarena also attended the event. The dress code was formal, and the guests wore their best dresses.

Penélope Cruz wore a blue dress with silver details by Chanel , a brand she has been an ambassador for for years. On this occasion, the Spaniard chose a flowing haute couture design from the Spring/Summer 2025 collection, with a sheer cape and metallic details. She paired it with a Chanel clutch bag and high-heeled pumps, both in black.

The actress also sported a distinctive hairstyle: a side-swept braid with loose strands, thus diminishing the formality of her look. On the beauty front, she highlighted her red manicure with long nails and pink makeup.

Marta Ortega , for her part, opted for a total black look , featuring a long lace slip dress. The Inditex president draped a long wool coat over her shoulders. She completed the look with an updo, minimalist makeup, and XXL earrings.

The businesswoman posed with Spanish model and actor Jon Kortajarena, who wore an impeccable tuxedo with a double-breasted jacket and white shirt.

Other celebrities who didn't miss the gala included actress Kristen Dunst , who chose a silver sequined halterneck Chanel dress, which she paired with a black belt with gold details. The actress left her hair loose and wore smoky eyes and burgundy lips.

Keira Knightley was another of the most elegant, wearing a long white dress with a black Chanel collar. The design, made from the French brand's iconic tweed fabric, was completed with jeweled buttons.

The actress paired it with striking long earrings and a matching ring. For beauty, she showed off her textured bob, minimalist makeup with black eyeliner, and a dark manicure.

Diane Kruger opted for a rather different look, wearing a boho-chic Alberta Ferretti dress. The off-white design featured a long skirt with a train and a layered top.

She paired it with a handbag from Olympia of Greece , specifically the Lovers clutch. The actress left her hair loose in soft waves and wore makeup that highlighted her fuchsia lips.

Princess Alexandra of Hanover , who attended with her boyfriend Ben Sylvester Strautmann, opted for a two-piece Chanel outfit from the Spring/Summer 2022 collection, consisting of a strapless top with a peplum detail, studded with rhinestones, and a long skirt with a ruffled hem. She paired it with black shoes and bag, minimalist jewelry, and a black manicure.
