Salma recently appeared on the cover of Allure magazine looking like her usual glamorous self. During theshoot, the mommy to 6-year-old Valentina talked about the time she wasdesperate for love. “I wish I knew that I wasgong to fall crazy in love with the perfect man,” she told the mag. “I was soworried and dated some people I shouldn’t have dated. You get desperate, andyou start seeing wonderful things in like the wrong guys.”

The Prophet star has been marriedto businessman Francois Pinault for seven years and still gushed to the magazine about what makes their relationship work. “I still have myindependence. But he likes it…and I get a lot of respect from him.” She also said it was thanks to her husband that made her return to the big screen. Salma added: "And then he said something so beautiful. 'I don't want to be deprived of your work. I want to watch it, too. And the world has not seen the best of you yet. So you cannot stop until some of that is put out.' So he sort of really pushed me, like, 'Get up on your feet and get out there.' And he was right."

Mrs. Pinault also addressed wearingminimal clothing for the magazine's shoot. “I filmed with the wonderful PatrickDemarchelier, and he always tries to do the minimum clothes possible. I was verynervous, and I think I looked uncomfortable in the beginning, but in the end itlooked really nice.”

Unlike the throwback pictureposted of her, the Nuance founder has no wrinkles and flawless skin. Something she saidcomes from not taking the horrible advice of her peers to get Botox. “When I was young they triedto sell me on the idea ‘If you do it now you won’t get wrinkles.’ And thank GodI didn’t do that.”
