Salma is happily married to billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault, Salma Hayek isn’t short of memorable appearances but one certainly stood out earlier this year when she set fire to the red carpet at the 95th Academy Awards in her custom-made burnt orange sequinned Gucci dress – and then broke the internet when she got home by stripping off in her kitchen.
Surrounded by bottles, Salma, 56, tucked into a piece of chicken suggestively and turned around to reveal her unzipped gown and bare back to the camera.
She posted to her Instagram: “Happy to keep the glamour going but first things first [sic]”, with the friend filming the clip joking, “Expectation versus reality”.While it wasn’t quite as sizzling as her From Dusk Till Dawn striptease when Salma faced her snake phobia by writhing around semi-naked with a python around her neck, fans were quick to applaud her bravado.
Antonio Banderas, the actress’s friend of 27 years and Puss in Boots co-star, posted a laughing emoji and other fans showed their appreciation.Suki Waterhouse liked the post and one cheeky follower said, “Even her back is perfect”.
The actress who attended the 95th Academy Awards with a special guest – her 15-year-old daughter, Valentina Paloma Pinault – presented the award for Best International Feature Film alongside Antonio, 63, who she also starred in Desperado with.Salma was lauded as one of the best dressed at the Oscars, thanks to her sparkling orange halter-neck sequin-embroidered gown, which was cinched at the waist and fringed at the bottom.
She worked with celebrity stylist Rebecca Corbin-Murray – who also works with Shailene Woodley, Carey Mulligan, Emma Watson, Sophie Turner, Colin Firth, Stacy Martin, and Kaya Scodelario – for the glitzy look.Salma is married to François-Henri Pinault, CEO of the luxury fashion group Kering, home to brands such as Gucci, Saint Laurent and Balenciaga, in 2009 and they regularly steal the show on the red carpet.
When the Frida star arrived at the Saint Laurent pre-Oscars party in Los Angeles with Francois and 22-year-old stepdaughter Mathilde, she looked every inch the screen siren in a Yves Saint Laurent stunning sheer blouse, black velvet tailored jacket, wide-legged trousers and pillar-box red lipstick.
Hosted by Saint Laurent’s creative director, Anthony Vaccarello, Salma was joined by Olivia Wilde, Jennifer Coolidge and Zoe Kravitz.
Fans were quick to commend her look, with one writing, “Just gorgeous. The red lipstick takes me back to your look in the 90s. Like your look in Desperado with Antonio Banderas. Beautiful!”
Another said “I want to look like this after working 21 hours a day…”
Salma previously gave a glimpse into some of her pre-Oscars beauty regimes, tucking into chicken soup while wearing a Japanese-style kimono dressing gown and golden face mask.
“Beauty is very important … but eating is, even more,” she said.
