Salma Hayek and her billionaire husband François-Henri Pinault looked completely smitten during one of the most glamorous nights of the Cannes Film Festival. The couple stepped out together for the Kering Women In Motion Awards in Cannes, where photographers captured Salma kissing her husband affectionately on the red carpet while he smiled beside her.
The 59-year-old actress immediately became one of the standout stars of the evening in a dramatic white feathered gown that gave her the appearance of a modern Hollywood swan. The floor-length dress hugged her figure while the feather details added movement and theatrical elegance every time she posed for cameras. Fans online quickly called it one of her strongest Cannes looks in years.
Salma completed the outfit with matching high-heeled sandals, a metallic silver clutch and dazzling jewelry featuring oversized emerald earrings and chunky rings. Her makeup remained glamorous but soft enough to highlight her natural features rather than overpower them. But one detail especially caught people’s attention — visible gray strands in her hair.
Instead of covering them, the actress wore her hair pulled back into a sleek high bun, openly embracing the natural gray streaks. Fans praised Salma for refusing to hide signs of aging and noted that she has increasingly joined stars like Andie MacDowell and Helen Mirren in normalizing gray hair on major red carpets.
François-Henri kept his look classic in a black tuxedo, white shirt and bow tie while standing proudly beside his wife throughout the ceremony. As chairman and CEO of Kering — the luxury conglomerate behind brands including Gucci, Saint Laurent, Balenciaga and Alexander McQueen — Pinault was one of the evening’s central figures. But despite the luxury-business atmosphere, the couple’s affectionate public behavior became the real focus online.
This year’s Kering Women In Motion Award went to Julianne Moore, while Italian director Margherita Spampinato received the Rising Star distinction. Yet even among so many famous guests, many fans admitted the emotional chemistry between Salma and François-Henri overshadowed almost everything else. After nearly two decades together, the couple still managed to look less like a billionaire power pair — and more like two people genuinely obsessed with each other.
