Cruz, Penelope Directed a short film for Agent Provocateur featuring her sister Monica and husband Javier Bardem with model Irina Skayk; deprives fans of her own countenance.

Cyrus, Miley Gets totally naked for Marc Jacobs; reminds us of the good ol’ days in which she protested that memorable Vanity Fair shoot.
