Salma Hayek captured attention in a sculptural white Alexander McQueen gown featuring a dramatic ruffled neckline and curve-hugging silhouette.

Known for blending romanticism with provocation, McQueen (1969–2010) was a visionary British designer whose theatrical runway shows and subversive tailoring revolutionized the fashion world in the 1990s and early 2000s. This look exemplifies the sensual yet structured aesthetic that defined his legacy.

Complementing her gown, Salma Hayek accessorized with an Alexander McQueen skull clutch, a bold Boucheron chain-link bracelet, and statement cocktail rings by Pomellato.

While the look certainly embraced bold glamour with its plunging neckline, it also meant Salma’s choice of footwear remained largely hidden, peeking out only occasionally from the dramatic gown.

After commanding attention at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards, Salma Hayek kept the spotlight on her with another show-stopping look the very next night at the British Fashion Awards.

Making the most of her trip to London, Salma attended the 2015 British Fashion Awards the following evening—once again embracing a bold, plunging neckline that highlighted her signature curves with confidence.

Her red Gucci gown was more tasteful this time, and the trompe l’oeil ruffle effect on the collar, waist ribbon, and cuffs lent a more youthful and playful vibe.

As one of the most prestigious events in the fashion calendar, the British Fashion Awards—now known simply as The Fashion Awards—celebrate groundbreaking talent and innovation in the global style scene.

Organized by the British Fashion Council and held annually at the Royal Albert Hall, the event honors top designers, rising stars, and iconic models while doubling as a major fundraiser for the BFC Foundation.
