Salma Hayek is looking breath-taking in a windswept selfie as she shares a rare photo with billionaire husband François-Henri Pinault. On Tuesday, the 55-year-old actress updated her Instagram while cozied up to the man she married in 2009, also announcing a major update from his Kering empire.
Kering owns luxury brands including Gucci, Bottega Veneta, and Balenciaga, and it looks like the conglomerate is going animal cruelty-free – no more fur was Salma’s announcement as she proudly delivered the news.
Stuns In Rare Photo With Billionaire Husband
Scroll for the snap. Hayek, who made 2020 headlines for a rare pool stack photo featuring her husband, posted all snuggled up to him from a protected area opening up onto ocean waters. The Eternals star, stunning with her natural beauty as she went 100% makeup-free, was only seen from the neck up as she smiled – Pinault, meanwhile, smiled slightly from behind shades.
Hayek announced that she was "so proud" of her husband for last week announcing that Kering is "going entirely fur free!"

Also offering a Spanish translation, the MCU star added: "¡Estoy tan orgulloso de mi esposo, François-Henri Pinault! ¡kering anunció la semana pasada que no venderán más artículos de pieles! @kering_official @gucci @ysl @newbottega @balenciaga @alexandermcqueen @brioni_official."
Luxury brands have frequently fallen under fire for their use of real animal furs – while many have switched to faux fur, the use of the real deal remains. "Amazing! Love this" came from Heather Parry, with actress Christina Hendricks also leaving a like. More photos after the snap.
Defending Marriage To Man Worth $ 44 Billion
Hayek made headlines earlier this year for clapping back at suggestions she married Pinault for the money – he’s worth an estimated $ 44 billion.
Speaking on the Armchair Expert podcast, the Frida star said: "I’m like, ‘Yeah, whatever, b-tch. Think what you want.’ Fifteen years together, and we are strong in love. And I don’t even get offended, I’m like, ‘Yeah, whatever."
"And, you know, when I married him, everybody said, ‘Oh, it’s arranged marriage, she married him for the money," she added.
Doesn’t Appreciate ‘Rich Guy’ Comments
Salma, who shares 14-year-old daughter Valentina with Pinault, had fired back after host Dax Shephard mentioned Pinualt’s wealth.
“I just heard or maybe read in a headline that you had married a very rich guy, maybe that’s why she married him. I don’t know. I meet him and I’m like, ‘this guy is so foxy, the confidence, his eyes, he’s so good looking and charming,’" he’d said.
Salma also promotes her husband’s company, regularly appearing in her favorite Gucci label – Bottega Veneta is a close second.
