As the sister of Hollywood A-lister Penélope, Mónica Cruz was always going to be a beauty.
Now a new campaign, for luxury lingerie brand Agent Provocateur, has revealed just how alike the two siblings are.
Mónica, 35, who is a celebrity herself in her native Spain, appears to be channelling hit ‘mommy porn’ bestseller Fifty Shades of Grey in the sexy series of images.

Flying solo: Mónica Cruz, the younger sister of Hollywood A-lister Penélope, is the star of a sexy new Agent Provocateur campaign that bears similarities to the plotline of hit trilogy Fifty Shades of Grey
True to form, the label pushes
boundaries of acceptability by setting the shoot in a former London prison, in a
dark, windowless room with a chain hanging from the ceiling.
But despite the similarities to Fifty Shades, the campaign actually has a very different concept. Titled Wilhelmina: Show Your True Self, Mónica plays a Victorian woman whose true spirit is
unmasked by a magic camera.
Daring: True to form, the lingerie label pushes boundaries of acceptability by setting the shoot in a former London prison, in a dark, windowless room with a chain hanging from the ceiling
However suggestive the resulting photos, the actress and dancer looks sensational in the fall/winter collection.
One set, the Novah, in deep fuchsia-red
satin with a black lace overlay, features a balconette bra and
high-waisted briefs giving it a retro, Fifties-inspired feel.
Another design, the Whitney, is rather more daring: a complex arrangement of black straps that only the most toned of bodies could pull off.
Risqué: Among the looks Mónica models is the Whitney design, a complex arrangement of black straps that only the most toned of bodies could pull off
In shape: Mónica, like her sister, began her career as a flamenco dancer and clearly still works out
Of course this is clearly no issue for
Mónica, who, like her sister, 38, began her career as a flamenco dancer
and evidently still works hard to keep in shape.
Agent Provocateur creative director, Sarah Shotton, told WWD: ‘She’s a professional dancer, a
very sexy women. I’ve never seen a woman move like that…
‘Mónica is a beautiful embodiment of the
Agent Provocateur brand, knowingly sexy and empowered by her own
sensuality.’
Sister act: Mónica (right) with sister Penélope at the launch of their collection for Mango in 2007
This is not the first time Mónica has fronted a fashion campaign. In 2007, she and Penelope joined forces to create a collection for Spanish chain Mango.
Producers of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides also took advantage of the sisters’ likeness, using Mónica as a double for her sister who was pregnant during the film shoot in 2010.

I didn’t properly read the title and assumed this was Penelope until I saw the comments! They look identical. Maybe I’ll get red arrowed, but i think she’s actually prettier than Penelope! :O

The saying is “damp squib”, not squid. So if you’re thinking of insulting for no good reason, please get your verbal ammunition correct first.
