Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem proved they are a Hollywood power couple on the red carpet at the 94th Academy Awards.
Cruz stepped out in a custom long taffeta Chanel dress with an open back while Bardem selected a black monochromatic tux from Zegna for their big night out.
The actress' dress featured a checkered graphic embroidery with a "metallic tweed" effect on the neckline and bow.

The dress required 680 hours of work and 8000 embroidered elements, according to Chanel.
