Salma Hayek knows how to blend beauty with class!

The legendary actress cut a glamorous figure as she attended the Balenciaga Haute Couture Show during Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday, July 7. Hayek looked stunning in a purple (some people see blue) silk gown as she posed with her billionaire husband, François-Henri Pinault.  The loose-fitting dress featured a delicate floral pattern, a classy V-shaped neckline, and draped all the way to the floor. Pinault opted for a traditional charcoal gray suit with a blue tie to match his beautiful wife. Salma was accessorized with a pair of dark shades, some open-toed heels, and a faux gator skin purse.

Mask Off

Hayek and her rich hubby arrived in facemasks. The local rules require pedestrians to wear masks, but the famous couple temporarily removed them to appease the slew of photographers outside of the fancy Balenciaga event. The 54-year-old actress flashed her famous smile as she posed and relished in the attention.

Instagram VS Reality

Salma has caused quite the stir on social media by posting numerous bikini pics, much to her fan's delight. However, she recently admitted that most of those photos were not new. She spoke with Instyle last month and revealed that they were old photos from around Christmas time that she banked for later. She said she knew that she would be gaining weight to play Giuseppina Auriemma in "House of Gucci" and wanted to keep up the fantasy.

The beautiful actress made it clear that it's easier to gain rather than lose, but she is determined to shed the extra weight. "I've lost very little. You go, 'Whoa, whoa, whoa.' You gain it so fast, but it takes so long to lose it," she told Instyle. Hayek stated that she is losing the weight for health purposes but admitted it was partly due to "what's expected for a woman who people consider good-looking. As you get older, you're expected not to age."
