Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek’s PFW incident explained
A video from Paris Fashion Week stirred up rumors of tension between Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek after a brief interaction at the Balenciaga show. In the viral clip, Salma Hayek appeared to be guiding Kidman into position for the cameras. However, Kidman is seen moving Hayek’s hand away and then turning her attention to Katy Perry. After exchanging a few words with Hayek, Kidman seemingly walked out of the frame, leaving Hayek and Perry to continue posing.
This brief moment sparked widespread speculation about a possible disagreement between the two stars. However, the Daily Mail sources have dismissed the claims, explaining that the clip doesn’t represent what actually happened. The actresses were said to be feeling overwhelmed by the intense crowd of photographers and were simply trying to deal with the chaotic situation. Insiders emphasized, “Nicole is not rude. At all. She may be awkward at times, but she is not rude.”
In fact, Kidman and Hayek can be seen together later in another clip, smiling and having a good time, with Kidman affectionately rubbing Hayek’s shoulder. This seemingly squashes any rumors of the feud between the two actresses.
After the show, Hayek shared a series of photos from the event on Instagram. This included one with Kidman, though Kidman wasn’t directly facing the camera. In her post, Hayek praised the Balenciaga show and tagged Kidman, Katy Perry, and Lindsay Lohan, further dismissing any talk of a falling out between the two stars.
