Salma Hayek and Nicole Kidman just made it clear that there’s no bad blood between them. Reuniting at the 10th Annual Kering Women in Motion Awards during the Cannes Film Festival, the two actresses posed together with radiant smiles and a warm embrace, officially putting to rest last year’s rumored fallout.
Wearing stunning ensembles at the highly anticipated event, the two posed arm-in-arm for the cameras and were later seen smiling alongside French politician Rachida Dati and François-Henri Pinault, Salma’s husband and the CEO of Kering.

Their recent display of friendship is not the first time they have publicly shown their appreciation for each other since the incident. Earlier this year, they were spotted chatting, laughing, and even holding hands at the Golden Globes, clearly unbothered by the online attention.
