Salma Hayek just delivered an unusual, very zen Instagram share. Featuring her beloved owl as she meditated this weekend, the 57-year-old actress delighted her fans with a reminder of her quirky side, showing off her pet owl Kering and gaining instant fan love for her video.
Despite a little editing for effect, Hayek had kept the vibe natural as she sat in the lotus position and with closed eyes, giving a nod to her love of mindfulness and meditation as she delivered her yoga pose with Kering sitting on her head. The MCU star has named her owl after the conglomerate group owned by billionaire husband François-Henri Pinault. Fans left her over 20,000 likes in just one hour.
Salma Hayek Shows Instagram Her Owl Meditation Session
Sitting indoors and on blue flooring as she delivered a soft, peaceful smile, Salma looked in her element as she sat in the lotus position while placing her palms facing upwards and resting her hands on her knees.
Rocking a funky, printed Janis Joplin t-shirt in white as she low-key highlighted her curvy frame, the Hollywood star showed hints of leggings as she was filmed breathing calmly, and she didn’t seem to mind at all that her owl was hanging out on her head.
Going largely makeup-free except for some shimmering, champagne-colored eyeshadow that made her lids pop, Salma wore her dark hair tied back, adding in dramatic, fluorescent lights around her as she accentuated the “in-the-zone” energy.
Says She Adores Meditating ‘With An Owl On My Head’
In a caption that offered both English and Spanish versions, Salma wrote: “Love meditating with an owl on my head 🦉🧘♀️#meditate Amo meditar con un búho en la cabeza 🦉🧘♀️ #meditar.”
“Goddess namaste,” one fan wrote. “So happy to see another sweet episode of you and your beautiful owl,” another said.
Salma has been featuring her owl on Instagram since 2021, although Kering was acquired approximately two years prior. “I gave it to my husband as a Valentine’s present and named her Kering because that’s the name of his company and their symbol of the owl,” she told People of her unusual pet. “And he was like, ‘Well, thank you, but I know this is your own present for yourself,'” she continued.
Salma has even revealed just how close and personal Kering can get. “When my husband is not in town, she sleeps in the room with me,” she revealed. Salma further stated: “We have certain routines before we go to sleep. I watch TV with my iPad, and she likes to stand on the iPad.”
Salma joins the long list of stars known for featuring their pets on social media, from The Kardashians and sitcom star Ariel Winter to actress Demi Moore and talk show host Kelly Ripa.
