Salma Hayek Steps Out in Paris, Sparking Conversation About Her Black & Gray Hair

The actress made a striking appearance at an event in the city of love, embracing a classic hairstyle that left fans divided over her evolving look.

Salma Hayek attended an art exhibition at the Bourse de Commerce in Paris, France, and shared several photos of the event on social media on March 5. However, these images not only highlighted the significance of the show but also drew attention to her hair.

Hayek captioned this series of photos with her thoughts on the exhibition, titled "Corps et Ames (Bodies and Souls)." She wrote, "I was so happy to attend yesterday with my family the opening of the exhibition 'Corps et Ames' at Bourse de Commerce (@boursedecommerce) in Paris."

She went on to describe the collection, which includes works by artists such as Auguste Rodin, Ana Mendieta, David Hammons, and Marlene Dumas. She noted that many of the featured artists are rarely seen in Paris.

While the event itself was a celebration of art, fans focused on Hayek's new appearance, particularly her classic-inspired hairstyle and graying hair.

Some netizens expressed surprise. One person commented, "Salma, I'm just another fan, and I say this with love—you always look spectacular, and your face is absolutely beautiful, but unfortunately, that hairstyle doesn't flatter your facial structure."

Another noted, "There's more white coming into your hair @salmahayek soon it will be completely all white soon [sic]." One netizen was more direct, writing, "Salma, please do something with your hair. This does not look good on you."

However, others were quick to praise her choice to embrace the natural aging process with confidence. A supportive fan wrote, "Salma..., [sic] you look stunning with your crown of hair!!!! You're a queen!!!!" Another admired her, "Aging with grace🧞✨️." Another person wrote, "Wow aging beautifully Salma 👌🏿❤️."

While Hayek's decision to let her hair reflect her natural aging journey has left some fans in awe and others debating, one thing remains clear—her elegance continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

However, this isn't the first time that Hayek's graying hair becomes a topic of conversation. As reported previously, the 58-year-old actress turned heads with a social media post from August 26, 2024.

Hayek effortlessly showcased her timeless beauty and unwavering confidence, posing in a well-fitted yellow two-piece swimsuit and sunglasses. She captioned the post, "Yellow bikini + White hair = perfect combination #ibiza."

The actress showed off her graying hair while looking out at the magnificent views. Her toes painted a striking shade of red, adding a playful pop of color to her look. With a serene look on her face and her curves popping, she exuded a graceful elegance and summer bliss.

Salma Hayek stirred up quite the conversation after posting the two pictures. One fan praised her body, saying, "That figure 🔥🔥Still beats women half her age in oomph."

Another fan admired her gray hair, commenting, "Grey hair is your crown 👑 of wisdom from God. Your crown of glory your majesty! You're a beautiful queen[sic]."

However, some fans expressed concern, with one asking, "Hey what's wrong, you look so thin? Still lovely, but I’m just saying. 😍"

Another fan seemed to notice a trend in her posts, remarking, "I always loved her confidence, but it seems like every photo she posts is a bikini picture. Maybe that's just coincidence... But it would be nice to see other things she's proud of."

A more critical comment came from a fan who said, "Bro, you're a Grandma, let it go." Still. another admirer couldn't help but gush, "My gawd! Even speckles of grey look amazing on her. 🌹"

Hayek has been flaunting her gray hair on social media posts as she embraces aging. On June 6, 2023, she posted a makeup-free selfie on Instagram, zooming in on her features. She wrote, "Me waking up and counting how many white hairs and wrinkles have crashed the party this morning."

On July 27, 2023, she posted more selfies on Instagram, joking that she had a secret to covering her gray hair without dying. "Don't wear your glasses 👓 on your hair!!! 😜😹. Bring on the wisdom🦉," she noted alongside selfies showing off her graying hair.

In 2023, when Hayek was asked if there was any aspect of aging that turned out differently than expected, she reflected on how everything had surprised her. The movie star imagined that getting older might mean less work and a fading of love.

However, she continues to work, remains in love, and feels she hasn't lost her flexibility, agility, or strength. "I do have to say that I have found it beautiful, getting older with someone," she swooned.

Hayek also discussed how her relationship with sensuality has evolved with age. She admitted that her demanding work schedule often leaves her feeling too exhausted to embrace or even think about being sexy. "And you have to say, 'Oh, that's okay too,'" she noted.

The actress offered some empowering advice for women on embracing age and their sensuality. She suggested dancing alone, without the pressure of an audience or the gaze of a mirror.

She encouraged women to connect deeply with their bodies by blindfolding themselves. "Feel your body and feel how it interacts with space," she advised them.

Hayek also urged women to connect with the natural world. She advised taking the time to walk on the sand, feel the grass under their toes, and embrace the sensations of the sun and wind.

She emphasized not getting too caught up in their thoughts, reminding women to have fun, laugh, and be silly when no one is watching. For her, it's all about those intimate moments spent with oneself, truly feeling and enjoying life.
