We've already seen a behind-the-scenes candid of Penelope Cruz gone blonde for her role as Donatella Versace in FX's upcoming The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story. But now, thanks to Entertainment Weekly, we've got her in high-res, and this time, she's joined by some headless hunks.

We're just going to quickly state the obvious: Cruz looks absolutely stunning. And as if we weren't already wildly excited for this coming season of the Emmy-winning anthology series, now we're practically chomping at the bit. Cruz will play Donatella right as her brother Gianni (played by Edgar Ramirez) is murdered by Andrew Cunanan (played by Darren Criss). The one and only Ricky Martin will also play Gianni's lover.
Donatella took over creative control of the house Versace in 1997 after her brother's murder at Miami's Villa Casa Casuarina, where much of the show was filmed and where this teaser photo was taken. The new season of American Crime Story is scheduled for release in 2018.
