Penelope, 38, kept her hair and make-up relatively simple by pulling her brown locks into a ponytail and sporting a simple palette of foundation.
However, her dress was much more eye catching as she arrived in a gold number that ensured all eye were firmly fixed on her.
She accessorised by carrying a small gold clutch bag and wore a pair of sparkly heels that were just about hidden by her long dress.

Javier, who plays villain Raoul Silva in the film, told the Metro how Daniel Craig had approached him to star in the movie in 2010.
He said: 'It was at this private event and he came to me and we introduced each other and he asked me if I would ever be interested in doing a James Bond movie with him and Sam [Mendes].
'I said 'that sounds pretty cool', and it’s funny because I didn’t know him.'

Bardem also told the newspaper how much he enjoyed working with director Sam Mendes even though it felt at times like working on an independent.
He said: 'But what he did was extraordinary because he brought the essence of a Bond movie and its classic aspects and combined them with something more rounded.'
