FemaleFirst reported that Penelope Cruz, who launched a collection of clothing for Mango, with her younger sister Monica, continues to borrow Monica’s clothes.
Monica stated, "We are the same size and we borrow each other’s clothes all the time. When I stay with Penelope in Los Angeles I borrow her clothes and when she comes to Madrid, she has a house near mine, she takes things from my wardrobe."
The 30-year-old designer gave their mother Encarna all the credit for their education. Monica explained, "My mother is incredible. She is a very strong woman and has taught us so much. It’s my mother who has kept us all grounded. I think fame, particularly if it happens when you are quite young, as it did in Spain for Penelope and me, is very corrupting. My mother stopped us from getting stupid or big-headed or forgetting how to behave. When I see how women behave in Hollywood now – Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan for example – I’m grateful for the support my mother gave me and my sister and also now for my brother, Eduardo, who is a singer."
In 2008, Penelope Cruz can be seen in the movie Elegy, while Monica will be starring in Astérix aux Jeux olympiques.
