Fans adored the transformation

Speaking to InStyle.com, Penelope revealed that she once did Salma's hair and makeup in the dark.

"She had a premiere one night and called me like, 'My glam squad didn't show up, and the power went out in my house. I need you,'" she revealed.

"We put candles everywhere, and I got her ready." Penelope recently wowed her fans when she showed off her beautiful physique in a daring sheer skirt while standing poolside.

The star shared the mesmerising photo on her Instagram and was wearing what appeared to be a shell construction with long sweeping arm holes accentuating her figure.

Fans were at a complete loss at her beauty and were only able to post emojis to show how they felt.
