Salma Hayek turned heads at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, proving once again that age has nothing to do with style and everything to do with confidence. Arriving at Balenciaga’s Fall/Winter 2025/2026 couture show with her husband François Henri-Pinault, the actress made a bold, elegant statement showcasing timeless glamour and sophistication.

The Mexican actress opted for a full-length black velvet gown with a fitted silhouette, sleeveless cut, and a discreet side slit that offered just enough edge while remaining refined. Draped at the waist and featuring a classic scoop neckline, the dress echoed the elegance of 1950s Hollywood stars.

Far from flashy or overdone, the design focused on clean lines, luxurious fabric, and quiet luxury. She completed the look with a pair of bold platform heels in satin black, featuring a rounded toe and a sharply tapered heel.

While the fashion spoke volumes, it was the star's beauty choice that sent an equally powerful message. Her brunette hair, styled in a deep side part (a millennial favorite making a comeback), revealed strands of natural gray.

It's not the first time she’s shown her silver, as the actress has embraced her grays on red carpets and social media. As she told Allure, “My hair doesn’t like to be dyed… I look better with healthy hair that’s white.” With that simple decision, she joined stars like Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Alba who are embracing a more authentic beauty standard.

The arrival of the actress and her husband wasn’t just a moment of fashion. Pinault, CEO of the luxury conglomerate Kering (which owns Balenciaga), is set to step down in September. But the couple’s appearance together, both in coordinated looks, showed their influence and strong relationship.
