Penélope Cruz is a bona fide dream girl. This month, she stars as Martin Freeman's nocturnal girlfriend in The Good Night, a role similar to one she played in the Spanish flick Open Your Eyes. It's no wonder Ralph Lauren has called her, "the best-looking human being I have ever seen." Couture gowns and smoky eyeliner define her red-carpet look, but her true beauty secret is a natural glow. "I spend so many hours in hair and makeup," Cruz has said. "When I'm not working I don't do my hair. It's too much trouble." She can look that good without the aid of a hairstylist? Talk about a dream come true.
