Before the House of Gucci, Salma Hayek was the girlfriend of Hugo Boss. In a recent interview with W Magazine, the actress explained why she wore men’s suits during her first red carpet appearances. “I didn’t have any connection,” the 56-year-old actress said when asked what she remembers from her first red carpet appearance. The case that for Salma Hayek came with the premiere of the film “Ostrich Feathers” in 1996. The first red carpet for Salma Hayek is undoubtedly a lasting memory, but it wasn’t really such a glamorous event for the actress.
Salma Hayek hit the red carpet in 1996 wearing a men’s pinstriped suit paired with a turtleneck sweater signed by Hugo Boss. “The only acquaintance I had then was with someone inside Hugo Boss,” the actress said, “so I wore a men’s suit, because no one else gave me anything.” The anecdote refers to an interview with Salma Hayek for Vogue India in 2021, during which the actress stated that in the early days of her life, no one dared to dress her. “I’m Mexican, and also very short, which doesn’t help.” But things are no doubt rosier now for Salma Hayek, thanks in part to her marriage to François-Henri Pinault, president and CEO of luxury giant Kering. Between Gucci, McQueen and Saint Laurent dresses, Salma Hayek’s special occasion wardrobe has witnessed a real revolution over the years.
