Salma Stuns in Crimson Couture at Milan’s Gucci Show
Arriving in a ravishing ruby ensemble, Salma Hayek captivated the crowds outside Gucci’s Fall/Winter 2024 presentation for Milan Fashion Week. Escorted by her devoted husband François-Henri Pinault, the sultry star illuminated the gray February streets in an audacious all-red leather outfit specially curated for the much-anticipated event.
Ms. Hayek was resplendent in her cherry-colored coordinates as she graced Fonderia Carlo Macchi. Her impactful apparel choices included a slim scarlet leather jacket with sharp black cuffs that added dimension. This was artfully paired with a figure-hugging pencil skirt in the same attention-grabbing shade. Elevating Ms. Hayek’s silhouette were statement red platform heels, allowing her to tower over the street style photographers eagerly snapping away.
Continuing the monochromatic palette was a petite Gucci handbag, with its distinctive interlocking ‘G’ logo plaque providing an accent. A coordinating cherry leather belt cinched her enviable waistline. Ms. Hayek’s beauty look harmonized flawlessly, from her soft caramel waves to a pink-kissed pout. Statement gold earrings and an imposing diamond cocktail ring finished this flawless front-row ensemble.
Beside the glamorous talent, Mr. Pinault cut a dashing figure in an understated navy bomber jacket layered over a black turtleneck and trousers. Though eclipsed by his wife’s daring fashion choices, he still caught eyes thanks to his role as CEO of the global luxury conglomerate Kering. Yet it was obvious from their affectionate hand-holding that despite their fame, success and flawless style credentials, at their core Salma and François-Henri remain deeply in love after nearly two decades of marriage.
Prior to her grand entrance at the showspace, Ms. Hayek gave fans a glimpse behind-the-scenes as she decided which cardinal-colored accessory would accompany her to see Creative Director Alessandro Michele’s latest for the heritage house. Playfully posing with her pet dog, she captioned her Instagram “50 shades of red.” Fans were treated to the sight of the pup reclining on a crimson Saint Laurent jacket amidst a sea of scarlet.
There was also a peek into her glam process, with an array of red lipsticks artfully fanned out as she honed in on the perfect seductive shade. Through these light-hearted posts, Ms. Hayek reminded audiences that even the most famous of icons still endure the occasional fashion dilemma.
Yet as she exited the show, any trace of indecision had vanished. Salma confidently rocked her cherry-red ensemble as if it had been created solely for her world-famous curves. There was no question that in a city famed for style, Ms. Hayek was the brightest star shining in Milan today. She and Mr. Pinault smiled contentedly, secure in the knowledge that when it comes to transporting fashions, few can rival Salma Hayek.
