Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek raised eyebrows at the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week when they appeared to have a tense moment on the red carpet.
The incident occurred as the two Hollywood stars, along with pop star Katy Perry, posed for photos. When Salma attempted to adjust her position for more pictures, Nicole appeared to brush her off, moving Salma’s hand away before kissing Katy goodbye and walking away. The moment, captured by photographers, sparked speculation of a rift between the two actresses.
However, Salma quickly addressed the rumors. She posted a photo from the event on social media, tagging Nicole and praising the fashion show. “Finally, last night, the grand finale of my Paris Fashion Week 2025… Balenciaga and Demna for a terrific show,” Salma wrote, reassuring fans that there were no hard feelings.
Nicole, who recently lost her mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, made her first public appearance since the death. The actress looked elegant in a black high-neck dress and stilettos, but the emotional toll of her recent loss may have affected her demeanor at the event.
Salma, on the other hand, dazzled in a black dress with a plunging neckline and was all smiles throughout the evening. The actress, married to French billionaire François-Henri Pinault, has been a regular at major Paris Fashion Week shows.
Though fans and commentators speculated about the exchange, Salma’s social media post seemed to dispel any concerns, suggesting that the two actresses remain on good terms.
