Salma Hayek made a rare and memorable red carpet appearance with her daughter, Valentina Paloma Pinault, at the star-studded premiere of Marvel’s Eternals at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. The actress, who rarely shares the spotlight with her family, commanded attention in a striking Gucci peplum dress that perfectly balanced drama and elegance.

The moment became an instant standout—not just for the sweet mother-daughter debut but also for the gown’s sculptural silhouette. This daring choice sparked plenty of fashion buzz and underscored Hayek’s long-standing role as one of Hollywood’s most glamorous style icons.

Salma’s 14-year-old daughter wore an age-appropriate black and white polka dot mini dress by Saint Laurent.
Her father, Francois-Henri Pinault, is the chairman and CEO of luxury fashion group Kering, the parent company of luxury brands such as Gucci, Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, and Alexander McQueen.

While Salma often champions labels under the Kering umbrella—like Gucci, Balenciaga, and Saint Laurent, thanks to her husband François-Henri Pinault’s role as CEO—she occasionally branches out.
One striking exception came just days earlier, when she turned to Elie Saab for a daring take on leopard print power dressing.

Salma’s daring looks in 2021 weren’t new. Years before stepping into Marvel’s spotlight, the actress was already relying on statement heels to elevate her petite 5 ft 1 ½ frame.
