Salma Hayek is in hot water as her latest glam photoshoot raises eyebrows about her beauty standards.
The Hollywood icon is well-known for her voluptuous figure and ageless charm, frequently hailed as one of the world's sexiest women alive. At 56, the entertainer continues to reign as a Latina goddess who actively raises awareness of violence against women and discrimination against immigrants.
However, the queen's crown recently slipped following a social media update that left several fans disappointed by the Coatzacoalcos native's new face. What went wrong? Keep reading to find out.
Fans Slam Salma Hayek For Looking Unrecognizable & Altered In Recent Pictures
In her latest Instagram post, the "Wild Wild West" star took advantage of the beautiful scenery in Cannes, a resort town on the French Riviera best known for its international film festival. The entertainer shared images of herself posing on a glass railing balcony.
Teasing viewers in her bathrobe, the Oscar nominee gave various sultry poses leaning on the glass panels with a picturesque sun setting on the clear blue water behind her. In one of the snaps, Hayek pulled down the garment to expose her bare shoulder, thus revealing she was naked underneath the robe.
The last image in the slideshow captured the "Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard" actress's whole body as her stylists added final touches to her glam. The 56-year-old took a smoke break in the snap, given the half-smoked cigarette in her hand.
One constant theme in the post was the V-Day board member's unique face. The Hollywood sensation looked decades younger with her flawlessly dolled-up face, which boasted bold eyebrows, dark eyeliner, a more defined nose, flushed cheeks, and bronzed features.
The "From Dusk Till Dawn" star wrapped up the stunning look with her shoulder-length hair styled into graceful waves that framed her face, adding an elegant feel to the overall image. "Sunset in #Cannes," the TV personality captioned the carousel, repeating the same message in Spanish.
Although the post garnered over 700,000 likes, the comment section was filled with criticisms from disgruntled fans. "She doesn't look like her," someone cried, while another lamented: "You did something to yourself; you look different, still beautiful!! But defy."
A third person wailed, "I don't know what happened; you looked more natural (better) a few months ago," while a shocked fan wrote, "Hmmmm, she looks different," as others blamed the makeup artist for Hayek's facial alteration.
"Beautiful, but way too much makeup," someone criticized. "Holy makeup," a fan exclaimed, adding that they did not like the stylist's work. On the other hand, a disappointed individual did not believe the actress's change was caused by makeup.
"Why the filters? That cannot be makeup alone," the person claimed. More cries of displeasure echoed in the comment section, with a few comparing the Emmy Award winner's glam to that of the Kardashians.
"For the moment, I thought that this is Kim K," a fan confessed while another chimed, "She looks like a Kardashian now!" Given the poor responses, it was safe to say the Coatzacoalcos native's followers were not impressed with her new style.
The Nuance Cosmetics & Skincare Founder Dominated The Red Carpet At The Cannes Film Festival
A few days before Hayek confused fans with her glammed-up face, the "Puss in Boots" voice actress caused a stir at the Cannes Film Festival in a breathtaking dress. The 56-year-old showcased her famous assets on the red carpet for the premiere of "Killers of the Flower Moon."
Taking to her Instagram page, the Latina beauty shared stunning behind-the-scenes images of her preparations. The first snap captured the TV personality being fitted into her figure-hugging mermaid dress, whose deep purple color could easily be mistaken for black.
The glamorous Alexander McQueen outfit featured a plunging v-neckline that left little to the imagination as the ALMA Award recipient's bosom threatened to spill out of the fabric. The alluring number consisted of ruffled, puffy sleeves, a fitted waistband, and statement ruffles at the bottom.
The "Magic Mike's Last Dance" star's long hair was tied into an elegant updo. At the same time, the rest of the slideshow captured the Coatzacoalcos native receiving final touches to her wardrobe and makeup from her team of stylists.
