Salma Hayek didn’t receive the usual level of Instagram praise as she modeled a form-fitting dress from designer Balenciaga back in December 2023. The MCU actress, 57, looked sensational as she slipped her curves into a classy midi number paired with high heels, but her fans didn’t appear keen on her promoting the Spanish luxury brand following its recent scandals.
In 2022, a campaign for Balenciaga included children holding stuffed toys in bondage harnesses, something that shocked the world and also landed Balenciaga ambassador Kim Kardashian in hot water. Fans replying to Salma’s post expressed disappointment in her plugging the controversial company.
Salma Hayek Angers Instagram With Balenciaga Look
Looking stunning as she posed indoors and backed by large windows opening onto an outdoor pool, Salma showed off her hourglass figure in a classy, long-sleeved dress with a knee-length finish.
Flashing her toned legs as she drew attention to her curves, The Eternals star added pops of hot pink to her look as she also rocked a bright pair of pointed-toe heels, with her footwear matching a pink Balenciaga purse.
Sporting her dark locks down and accentuating her features via a matte face of makeup, Salma drove fans to swipe, where she returned in the same look and even included billionaire husband François-Henri Pinault.
Told She’s ‘Very Disappointing’
Pinault owns mega group Kering, including Gucci, Bottega Veneta, and Balenciaga. In a caption, Salma told fans: “BALENCIAGA show in sunny LA ☀️🩷.”
Fans were quick to comment. “Why are you supporting this company?” one user said. Also voicing disapproval, another user replied: “Extremely disappointed, Salma I thought you were different.”
“Buddy supports child predators unfollowed,” a further user said. The comments just kept on coming. “Disappointed!!!! Can’t follow someone who supports child predators,” an angry fan replied.
Salma does not appear to have responded to the backlash. Her post did, however, garner love, with fans leaving her over 1 million likes, overall. Celebrity likes were left by stars including actress Jennifer Aniston and reality star Larsa Pippen.
December 2023 also brought Salma in another designer owned by her husband. This time, the Mexican-born star stunned her fans in an off-white gown from designer Gucci as she posed for Instagram shots marking her attendance at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures Gala.
“Looking good, gorgeous,” one fan replied. This post even earned approval from fellow fashionista and reality star, Paris Hilton.
