Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek's Awkward Moment at Paris Fashion Week

Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek's Awkward Moment at Paris Fashion Week


Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek found themselves in a bit of a tense moment at the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week on September 30. A video surfaced online over the weekend showing the two stars having an awkward exchange while posing for photos with Katy Perry.

In the clip, Hayek, 58, attempts to turn Kidman—who had her back to the camera—toward the flashing lights. When a photographer requested “one more” shot, Hayek used her hands to guide Kidman, but the “Moulin Rouge!” star reacted by pushing Hayek’s hand away. After giving Perry a kiss, Kidman exchanged a few words with Hayek before walking off.

While it's unclear what the two actresses said, Hayek was heard saying, “Yes please. Advice.” Someone, likely Kidman, replied, “You don’t need it,” to which Hayek responded, “I do.” After Kidman left, Hayek continued to pose with Perry, who seemed more enthusiastic about the photo shoot.

For the event, Kidman, 57, sported a stylish black turtleneck dress paired with sheer tights, stilettos, and sunglasses. Hayek looked stunning in a black dress featuring a plunging neckline.

This appearance marked Kidman’s first public outing since the death of her mother, Janelle Anne Kidman, in early September. Just hours before being named best actress at the Venice Film Festival for her role in “Babygirl,” she announced her mother’s passing. In a heartfelt Instagram post, she thanked fans for their love and support, saying, “Every message we have received from those who loved and admired our Mother has meant more to us than we will ever be able to express.”

Instead of attending the festival, Nicole returned home to be with her family in Australia. Two weeks later, her husband, Keith Urban, shared an update on their family’s well-being, stating, “Yeah, everybody’s good, man.”
