Salma Hayek made an entrance at New York Fashion Week. At this year's Kering Foundation Caring for Women Gala, Hayek attended the event alongside her husband, François-Henri Pinault, with the two looking like the most stunning couple in the room in matching black.

Hayek wore a dramatic black gown with a puffy top and an elegant skirt. She completed the look with a tight and slicked back bun and statement jewelry, including a large diamond ring. Pinault wore an elegant tuxedo ensemble. 

The event marked the 5th Annual Kering Foundation Caring for Women Gala. It's a yearly engagement in the city for the Pinault-Hayek family, raising funds to combat gender violence and support survivors. Some of the evening's guests included Pamela Anderson, Colman Domingo, Dakota Johnson, Karlie Kloss, and more.

The gala raised over $5 million and had Rita Ora as a performer and Paris Hilton as DJ.

“We want a world where women and children can live free from violence and fear,” said Domingo, as reported by WWD. He served as master of ceremonies for the night.

The outing also marked the start of Fashion Week and Hakey and Pinault's first appearance at the celebrated and stylish occasion.

Over the past couple of months, Hayek has been enjoying a new phase in her life. She recently became a grandmother for the first time, with her stepson, François Pinault Jr., welcoming his first son with his partner, Lara Cosima Henckel von Donnersmarck. 

In videos and posts on social media, Hayek is seen enjoying the moment, holding on to the baby and sharing the nickname she gave him. The child is named François, like his father, grandfather, and many ancestors before him. But Hayek's nickname is the first in the family. She's calling him Panchito. 

"We are blessed to welcome the fourth living generation of Francois," she wrote. "Although I will call him Panchito. He seems to love it, and I cannot love him more."
