Salma Hayek Stuns with Gray Hair and Sheer Black Dress

Salma Hayek attended the 12th Breakthrough Prize Ceremony in Santa Monica on April 18. She arrived alongside her husband, François-Henri Pinault.

Hayek stunned in gray hair and a sheer black dress on the red carpet. The gown was a Gucci creation with a plunging V-neck and ruffled shoulders.

The ensemble

The semi-sheer fabric was covered in irregular sequins. The long skirt flowed into a modest train behind her.

Jason Bolden styled the overall look for the evening. The design combined old Hollywood glamour with modern details.

Hair and styling

Andy Lecompte swept Hayek’s long hair into an elegant twisted updo. The style featured a swooping side-part that displayed natural gray streaks.

The updo revealed dramatic silver and crystal drop earrings. A large David Webb ring adorned her middle finger.

Company and family

Pinault wore a classic black tuxedo. The couple married in 2009 and share a daughter, Valentina, born in 2007.

Pinault also has three children from previous relationships. Hayek has spoken publicly about embracing blended family life.

On embracing gray hair

Hayek has repeatedly chosen to show her natural grays. Months ago she wore a center part, and last July she favored a side part.

She told Allure she prefers healthy white hair and that her hair resists dyeing. The comment underscores her long-running shift away from coloring.
