Salma Hayek’s Custom Gucci Gown and Hidden Platform Heels at the 2017 SAG Awards

In January 2017, at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles, Salma Hayek stepped onto the red carpet in a striking canary-yellow Gucci gown.

This expertly calibrated look paired classic glamour with whimsical detail while subtly elongating her petite 5ft 1½ (156.2 cm) frame through her signature use of high heels.

Custom-designed by the Italian fashion house, the one-shouldered dress featured floral embellishments and a rose-velvet ribbon belt. This expressive yet refined look fit seamlessly into the evening’s polished red-carpet aesthetic.

Styled with colorful Irene Neuwirth earrings and a crystal-embellished Gucci clutch, the ensemble highlighted Hayek’s long-standing affinity for statement design grounded in elegance rather than excess.

She styled the one-shouldered gown with colorful Irene Neuwirth earrings and a yellow crystal-embellished satin clutch from the same Italian luxury brand founded in Florence in 1921.

At the 2017 SAG Awards, Nicole Kidman also wore a stunning Gucci creation, showcasing the brand’s bold and whimsical side.

She turned heads in a dazzling green gown adorned with sequined parrots on the shoulders, adding an exotic touch to her red carpet look.

Salma Hayek’s choice of Gucci for the 2017 SAG Awards was a fashion statement and a nod to her connection with the brand.

As the wife of François-Henri Pinault, the CEO of Kering—the luxury group that owns Gucci—Hayek often champions the brands under Kering’s umbrella.

Salma Hayek’s Go-To Platform Heels: Elevating Style and Stature

Though her shoes were hidden beneath the flowing hem of her gown, Salma Hayek is frequently seen in platform heels, a style that complements her petite stature. Known for embracing high heels to enhance her height, Salma often opts for platforms that add elegance and extra lift on the red carpet.

For instance, during a 2017 appearance on “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah,” she wore Gucci T-strap platform pumps featuring almond toes, cage-like fronts, and beetle accents adorned with enamel and crystals. These black satin shoes also featured metallic silver leather detailing, crystal-encrusted buckles, and block heels on extended red platforms.
