Penelope Cruz Debuts Amazing Post-Baby Bod

By Michael Lopez

It’s hard to believe that it’s been only a month since Penelope Cruz delivered her bundle of joy. Little Leo Encinas, as he is reportedly now being called, seems to be doing fine and by the looks of things so is his mom. Arriving at this weekend’s Academy Awards with hubby Javier Bardem, Penelope debuted an amazing post-baby bod.

The paparazzi were all over the glamorous couple Sunday night. Papa Javier wore a fitted black suit (which he changed to white to present with James Brolin) and Penelope radiated in her elegant purple gown. Although the Bardems didn’t walk away with any Oscars — Javier lost best actor to Colin Firth — they seemed extremely cheery throughout the evening.

When photographed in Santa Monica, Calif., earlier in the week, Penelope showed off her $30,000 3-carat sapphire engagement ring, which had been given to her by Javier.

Though the gossip blogs still haven’t gotten that elusive shot of little Leo yet, we’re sure it’s only a matter of time before he makes his media debut. Perhaps he'll make a cameo in Javier’s highly-anticipated gunslinger epic The Dark Tower.

Do you think Javier and Penelope make a good couple? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.
