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.
