Salma Hayek absolutely stole the show at a fancy state dinner for China’s president last Monday. She was the definition of royalty, alongside her husband, Francois-Henri Pinault.
Rocking a dazzling red dress with sheer sleeves, a swoon-worthy tulle skirt, and a chic knotted belt, she owned the Elysee Palace in Paris. To top it off, she added a silver clutch and a jaw-dropping diamond necklace that lit up the whole place!

Elevating her look were stylish silver platform heels for extra height and diamond earrings that matched her necklace. The mother of one opted for a tousled curly half-up half-down 'do that beautifully framed her whole face.
Her plus-one, who is a billionaire French businessman and the chairman and CEO of Kering, sported a classic navy tuxedo as he posed alongside his wife for photos.
China's President Xi Jinping and his wife, Peng Liyuan, are touring Europe, marking his first visit to the continent in five years.
Hayek and Pinault received invitations to the lavish banquet hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron, along with over 120 distinguished guests.
Salma Hayek Talks About Motherhood In New Vogue Arabia Interview
In a recent Vogue Arabia interview, the 57-year-old was interviewed by fellow actress, friend, and Spanish superstar, Penelope Cruz. Hayek was asked by the Ferrari alum about how her relationship changed with fashion when she married the Kering conglomerate.
She answered, "You were the fashionista, I didn’t care! I could do it, but I didn’t care. I still don’t," she said. "Some of my friends joke and ask, “How did you land this guy?” [Laughs] It did change my relationship with fashion because it gave me an insider’s view on a lot of the interesting parts of fashion and understanding that this industry is a true form of art. It’s not just about going shopping, which I’m not a big fan of. I have a different appreciation for it, so now I enjoy it more."
Brands under Kering include Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Brioni, Boucheron, Pomellato, and Kering Eyewear.
Salma also shed light on motherhood in the interview, calling her only daughter a 'miracle.' "It’s so important to me; God gave me this incredible blessing. It was not easy for me to have children. I was only able to have one, and already that one was a miracle," she said.
"Eventually, I ended up being blessed with four, including François’ three. It completely changed me. Nothing is more important than my family, my husband, my children, and my brother," said the From Dusk Till Dawn icon.
