With her slicked back hair, smoky eye make-up and gloss red lips, Penelope Cruz screams vixen in her latest photo shoot.
The 37-year-old is the epitome of vampy glamour for the recent 'Transformation' issue of V magazine, which also features fellow Hollywood actress Anna Paquin and socialite Paris Hilton.

The mother-of-one is seen looking stunning in both androgynous and feminine looks.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean pours her impeccable curves into long black slinky gown and clutches a fluffy white fur.

And for her cover shot, Penelope smoulders in a Ralph Lauren crisp white shirt and tuxedo, accessorising with a pair of heavy studded earrings and black fishnet veil.

In the cover interview, Penelope says that her biggest transformation yet 'is becoming a mother.'

'It changes you forever,' she says.

She also discusses her career as an Award-Winning actress and how excited she is about choosing roles she is interested in.

'Something happens that is really addictive during the investigation,' she says. 'It’s a beautiful thing…A part of you becomes obsessed with that other being. That is the feeling that I look for.'

Whilst discussing fame she makes it clear that her interest 'is acting, not stardom.'

'I refuse to call myself anything other than a working actress,' she says.

And while Penelope looks sublime in pretty much everything she has ever worn, she says that co-star and close friend Johnny Depp can easily show her up.

'Johnny wears everything better than I do. He even wore a dress in the movie he did with Javier (Bardem) Before Night Falls,' she said.

The Spanish actress is currently in Rome where she is filming Woody Allen's upcoming romantic comedy, The Bop Decameron.

This week, Penelope was seen on set looking her curvy best in a eye-catching red and black Dolce & Gabbana dress.

She finished off her look with crimson peep-toe heels on her feet and rounded out the look with a fiery-hued purse.

I'm really happy to be in Rome and to shoot a film with Woody Allen,' Cruz said last week when she arrived with six-month-old son Leo and two bodyguards in tow.

Of course, it isn't the first time Cruz has worked with Allen.

She won a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award after for her turn as an unstable artist in his 2008 film Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Although her experience on Barcelona was one of the best of her life - she won an Oscar and met husband Javier Bardem - she has a strong supporting cast on Decameron.

Ellen Page, Jesse Eisenberg, Alec Baldwin, Roberto Benigni and Allen himself will star in the movie, which is slated for a 2012 release.

The film will be a modern-day take on Giovanni Boccaccio's The Decameron and will consist of four vignettes.

In his story, Allen and his wife travel to Rome and meet the family of the Italian man that their daughter is going to marry; Cruz is rumoured to be playing his wife.

This is the first time since his 2006 film Scoop, that the director has given himself a part in his own movie.

It is the first film he has shot in Rome and will wrap at the end of August.
