Salma Hayek's Glittering Appearance

Salma, 59, put on a glittering display in a sparkly gown which she teamed with platform heels and a black clutch bag. She was accompanied by her billionaire husband François-Henri Pinault, CEO and chairman of luxury fashion conglomerate Kering, which owns high-fashion brands including Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, and Alexander McQueen. Venice holds a special place in their hearts as they married in the city back in April 2009.

The Exhibition

The exhibition, titled 'In Minor Keys', runs from May 9 to November 22. It was curated by the late Koyo Kouoh, who passed away last May. The exhibition has followed through with her original vision and features 110 participants across the Giardini, Arsenale, and various venues throughout Venice.

Zoe's Lancôme Ambassadorship

Just days earlier, Zoe was in New York with Demi Moore as they celebrated being named Lancôme ambassadors with a fun-filled girls' night out. The two actresses are fronting the brand's new Longevity MD line, with Demi being announced as the face of the Reset cream. Zoe is the face of the Intercept duo, consisting of a serum and cream specially targeted to those aged between 35 and 55.

Zoe's Beauty Philosophy

Speaking to Harper's Bazaar, she said: 'I feel beautiful, and I feel like not only am I working with what I have, I'm celebrating it, I'm embracing it, I'm taking care of it - and that comes with experience, and that comes also with knowledge, right? With education.' The Avatar star said her passion for skincare came when she entered her 40s, and that her routine was essential for maintaining her firm and flawless skin.

While Hollywood has become a hotbed for cosmetic tweakments from Botox to face lifts, Zoe expressed her preference for natural beauty, and admitted she doesn't even wear makeup except for mascara. 'I really love it when women work with what they have', she said. 'There's something really beautiful and alluring about a woman who truly sees herself in the mirror, likes it, and just complements it, complements her appearance, but doesn't try to change it or transform it dramatically. I consider natural beauties like Sienna Miller, Whoopi Goldberg—an absolute natural beauty. Less is always more for women like them.'
