Penelope Cruz Looks Post-Baby Fabulous

Penelope Cruz, 36, showed off a fabulous post-baby figure in Santa Monica this week, and the baby is just one month old! How does she do it? How can those abs get back their tone practically overnight? Well, being really, really in good shape pre-baby could have something to do with it. Reports WonderWall, she “looked every bit the international movie star in shades, a clingy, striped top and tight jeans”—clothes the ordinary woman might have trouble pulling off at the best of times. But this is no ordinary woman.

The baby, by the way, is said to be named Leo Encinas. Penelope Cruz and husband Javier Bardem, Biutiful star and Oscar nominee, are at the top of the Spanish celeb list, and racking in honors, while trying to keep their private lives slightly private. But there is no doubt he is aware of the international treasure he married last summer. One, she wears a three-carat sapphire engagement ring. Two, at a recent awards dinner, he announced to the room, “I dedicate (this award) to my wife and son for awakening my heart and smile every day.”
