Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz at the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Premiere

It had been said that Kate Middleton's wedding dress would influence bridalwear for years to come. But it seems her Alexander McQueen lace gown is influencing more than that, as Penelope Cruz showed when she arrived at the premiere of Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides in London last night wearing a full-length white lace dress. 

The 37-year-old star looked stunning in the white Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci gown, which featured zip detailing on the front and sides, which she teamed with gold accessories and poker straight hair. Cruz was just one of the stars to attend the premiere, held at London's Westfield shopping centre in Shepherd's Bush, and appeared in good spirits as she posed on the bright blue carpet. 

Her co-star Johnny Depp arrived to a chorus of hysterical screaming from his thousands of female fans, and cut a sharp appearance, in contrast to his sometimes scruffy style, in a smart dark grey suit and green shirt.

In the new Pirates film, Cruz plays Angelica, the daughter of Blackbeard, played by Ian McShane, and an old flame of Depp's character Captain Jack Sparrow. The pair then embark on a mission together to try to find the fabled Fountain Of Youth. And while the movie is full of exciting action sequences and explosive special effects, Cruz was actually pregnant during filming.
