A recent encounter between Salma Hayek and Nicole Kidman at Paris Fashion Week has sparked quite the buzz online. The moment was captured during the Balenciaga show in September and quickly went viral.
In the footage, it appears Hayek, 58, was trying to reposition Kidman, 57, for a photo op by placing her hands on Kidman’s body. Kidman, seemingly uncomfortable, rejected the gesture with a polite yet firm “Don’t touch me.” As cameras clicked, a photographer urged the women for another shot, while Kidman greeted her friend Katy Perry with a warm hug.
Following the awkward moment, a conversation ensued between Hayek and Kidman, but it was hard to catch exactly what was said. Kidman, after stepping away, seemed to brush off Hayek’s request for advice, to which Hayek replied, “I do.” The context of the advice remains unclear, sending fans into a frenzy trying to decipher the interaction.
Reactions to the incident have been mixed on social media. Supporters of Kidman expressed concern over Hayek’s encroachment into her personal space, criticizing her need for attention. One user tweeted, “Salma Hayek is thirsty for attention… Unless Nicole’s contract says she has to follow direction from B-list actress Hayek.”
Others, however, came to Hayek’s defense, suggesting that her intentions were simply misunderstood. “Lol, Salma was pushing her out of the way politely,” one commenter pointed out.
This incident has reignited discussions about personal boundaries in the spotlight, with fans divided on who was in the right. Notably, both actresses have significant ties to actor Tom Cruise, further complicating the narrative.
