Salma Hayek’s Husband Was Surprised By Her Fashion Choice

Salma Hayek, renowned for her luxuriant dark brown tresses, caused a sensation on the red carpet by debuting a retro-styled rose gold wig. This dramatic transformation went beyond a mere fashion statement; it served as both a homage to the pink petals adorning her Gucci dress and a nod to the timeless Old Hollywood glamour epitomized by Marilyn Monroe.

Yet, in an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Hayek disclosed that her husband’s initial surprise evolved into admiration, as he was utterly amazed by how well she carried off the daring look.

This audacious act left both her husband and the public in a mixture of relief and amusement, highlighting her fearless nature and knack for surprising and dazzling everyone around her.
