Highlights
- Hollywood actress Penelope Cruz has become the latest celebrity to join PETA's anti-fur ad campaign.
- The 37-year-old star has posed in an ad on a 70-foot billboard. The photo shows her turning her head to look over her bare back next to the words, Give Fur the Cold Shoulder.
- The advertisement is set to be displayed outside New York's Madison Square Garden and will be up throughout New York Fashion Week from February 9-16.
- "Penelope Cruz has appeared on every 'best-dressed' list in the world, and the one thing you'll never see her wearing is fur. One couldn't ask for a more fitting emblem of the modern, glamorous woman who knows that there's nothing more beautiful than a woman who has a look that kills without anyone having to die for it," said PETA's Chief Functionary Poorva Joshipura.
- Cruz is the latest fashion icon to speak out against fur. First ladies Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy have declared that they would never wear real fur, as have stars Twiggy, Kelly Osbourne, Pink, Pamela Anderson and Eva Mendes.
