London, July 31 - Spanish actress Penelope Cruz was left shame-faced as she walked down a red carpet in a scarlet suit and blamed losing her luggage on a flight to London for the fashion faux pas.

The 'Volver' beauty jetted in to the British capital from Madrid to attend a glamorous event at the city's Somerset House with her 'Broken Embraces' director, Pedro Almodovar and instead of donning a full-length gown for the glitzy bash, Cruz was forced to pull on a red suit she kept in her hand luggage - after the airline she was travelling with misplaced her bags, reports contactmusic.com.

But she wasn't fazed by blending in with the garish red carpet, and seemed more concerned with the unpredictable English weather.

She told reporters at the event: 'I looked up at the sky and said, 'Don't you rain on me - I'm Penelope Cruz!''

However, filmmaker Almodovar was sure a conspiracy was at work - he is convinced an avid fan is behind Cruz's missing possessions.

''I think it's a plot. I think someone take it (sic). They bring it with him or her to home (sic). I think it was stolen for a fetishist,' he said.
