Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek has an awkward run in at Paris Fashion Week last month but it could be more serious than fans initially thought
A twist in Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek’s shove has emerged that could prove very costly.
A clip has gone viral which shows the actresses in an altercation at Paris Fashion Week last month. The pair were stood in front of photographers along with singer Katy Perry when the awkward moment occurred.
Nicole has been slammed for “rudely” shoving Salma which was caught on camera. The pair were at the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week which saw Nicole walk off. Salma appears to try to get Nicole to turn around to face the cameras as she used her arm to move her.
But Nicole didn’t seem pleased as she appeared to swat her hand away. As she pushed her hand away, Nicole turned her back before moving to face Salma again and put her hand up signalling to stop. Nicole kissed Katy goodbye as she walked away and spoke to Salma more.
It looked as though Salma said “Yes please – advice” while Nicole replied “You don’t need it” and Hayek said “I do”. However, it has now been pointed out that the altercation may be more serious than first thought.
The video could mean that Nicole’s deal with Balenciaga could be on the rocks. Nicole is brand ambassador with Balenciaga but this may be at risk as Salma’s billionaire husband François-Henri Pinault owns the luxury brand.
French businessman Pinault is the CEO of Kering which is a business established by his father who found success the timber trade before buying a 42 percent stake in the Gucci Group in 1999. The luxury goods company now owns Gucci, Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta and Alexander McQueen.
In 2005, Pinault took over the role of CEO of Kering from his father. Nicole was named brand ambassador for Balenciaga in December 2023. Pointing out that Nicole’s job may be in danger, writer and fashion commentator Louis Pisano wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Oh that ‘don’t touch me” from Nicole to Salma at a brand show owned by her husband, that Balenciaga contract is in danger I fear.”
Others took to social media to talk about the awkward situation. One said: “Nicole is an employee of Salma’s husband so yes, Salma gets to boss her around. Besides, Nicole is there working for Salma’s husband.” A second commented: “I get that Salma was probably trying to direct her to pose for the cameras, but some people don’t like to be touched regardless of the situation, and you just gotta respect that,” while another added: “Why is Nicole being so rude?”
