Salma Hayek is enjoying her time on vacation. The Hollywood star seems to be taking a break from her tight schedule after attending Paris Fashion Week and having a lot of fun with her celebrity friends while accompanying her husband, François-Henri Pinault, to multiple shows. 

The Mexican icon recently made headlines after an apparent incident involving Nicole Kidman. The actress was seen at the Balenciaga runway show, taking photos with her friends, including Katy Perry, who was posing with Salma.

Salma styled her hair in a ponytail and posed for the camera. Fans of the star praised her for her casual ensemble, while some others were still commenting on the viral moment in Paris. 

"My beautiful queen, don't invite Nicole to any event again, because she's a troublemaker," one person wrote in Spanish while someone else commented, "Were the photos taken in Oaxaca? They look very nice," adding, "Worthy of painting Salma."
