Penelope Cruz starred with her similar sister in a candid photo shoot in a racy bikiոi
Penelope Cruz has made rare comments about her sister Monica who looks just like her.
The 49-year-old Oscar-winning star has designed a capsule collection for Geox with her 46-year-old sister for the spring or summer next year.
When asked whether she and her sister influenced each other’s styles, Penelope said: ‘Yes, a lot, to the point of, you know, taking a lot of clothes from each other’s closets.
‘Sometimes wearing exactly the same thing when we were little girls.’
Cruz then said that she and Mónica would hide ‘in the bathroom together and sitting on the floor with magazines and drawing on top of the designs and changing the designs.’
Cruz — who used to date Tom Cruise — added, ‘So that was always our main game and a fantasy.’
Monica looks so much like Penelope, she stood in for her during scenes for Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides in 2010.
Penelope then gushed about the brand, and having the opportunity to work with her sister on something they are so passionate about.
She said: ‘I am also very grateful that I can do another collection with my sister, because we have done this on and off, with different brands, over the last 20 years.
‘It is something that keeps happening here and there. So, we are very grateful because we continue to learn from these great brands.’
The sisters have previously designed a collection of jewelry and handbags for Japanese fashion house Samantha Thavasa.
Cruz and her sister created two collections for Swiss retailer Charles Vögele in 2010 and 2011.
The Spring/Summer 2011 collection, titled Biaggini Violett became available in Europe.
The pair teamed up again 2013 to design a lingerie line titled L’Agent for British lingerie retailer Agent Provocateur.
She also modelled for Agent Provocateur’s Autumn/Winter 2012–13 campaign.
