It seems like Salma Hayek and Nicole Kidman had an uncomfortable moment at the Balenciaga show on September 30 during Paris Fashion Week.
A video of the 57-year-old “Big Little Lies” star posing with Hayek (58 years old) and Katy Perry went viral, showing her allegedly shoving Hayek’s hand aside.
In response to a photographer’s request for “one more” image, Hayek reached out and tried to direct Kidman’s hand so that she faced the camera’s flashing lights. The star of “Moulin Rouge!” then seized Hayek’s hand and violently yanked it away.
Following that short scene, Kidman kissed Perry, spoke briefly with Hayek, and then left the scene. After Kidman left, Hayek said, “Yes please,” albeit the exact words said by the two actresses are unclear. Words of wisdom.
A voice, likely Kidman’s, responded with, “You don’t need it,” to which Hayek replied, “I do.” Following this, Hayek continued posing for photos with Perry, who seemed more engaged in the photo session.
Kidman wore a little black dress with sheer tights, stilettos, and sunglasses to the event, while Hayek wore a little black gown with a plunging neckline.
After her mother Janelle Anne Kidman passed away in early September, this was Kidman’s first public appearance after her passing. Celebrating her performance in “Babygirl,” Kidman broke the news of her mother’s death hours before accepting the Best Actress prize at the Venice Film Festival.
As a tribute to her late mother, Kidman posted on Instagram, writing, “My sister and I along with our family want to thank you for the outpouring of love and kindness we have felt this week.”
“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,” she added. “Thank you from our whole family for respecting our privacy as we take care of each other.”
Kidman flew back to Australia to be with her family instead of going to the festival.
Keith Urban, the husband of actress Nicole Kidman, provided an update on the family two weeks after Janelle’s death in an interview with The Times of London, stating, “Yeah, everybody’s good, man.”
