Cross, who is known for her porcelain skin, explains her use of a sun umbrella on the set: "I have moments when I can't wear a hat or if my hair is done. If they've done my hair, they're not thrilled if I throw my hat on," she says with a laugh.
Right now, hats and sunscreen are the core of Cross' sun-protection routine but she says a parasol "might be something in my future."
"I've seen people use the parasol and I think I might check it out," Cross says. "I was on a hike and saw an Asian woman with one and she looked great."
And they seem to be gaining in celebrity appeal. Among the stars photographed with assistants holding umbrellas for them in the sun are Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Sean "Diddy" Combs and Michael Jackson. Rihanna even has a new umbrella (ella, ella) line for Totes.
