Salma Hayek Goes Custom in Gucci for Kering Women in Motion Dinner

Salma Hayek Pinault went the textural route in a custom design by Gucci for the annual Kering Women in Motion Dinner during the 2026 Cannes Film Festival on Sunday night in Cannes, France.

The Oscar-nominated “Frida” star wore a textural white gown that was crafted with feathery elements throughout. Designed by the Italian luxury fashion house’s creative director Demna, who assumed the role in July 2025, the structured dress included sculptural elements and plumage aplenty.

The dress included an asymmetrical neckline, with one shoulder featuring a bouquet of white feathers. The bodice of the dress included a fitted, sculptured silhouette at the bust, with a streamlined design and formfitting details that transitioned to a column skirt.

Along with her feathery white Gucci dress, Hayek Pinault wore jewelry pieces provided by Boucheron, including earrings and statement rings. The actress is a longtime partner of the French luxury jewelry brand.

Hayek Pinault’s hair was tossed up into a slick high bun by stylist Miguel Martin Perez, with makeup provided by artist Wendy Rose. The actress’ look was curated by stylist Pablo Patane.

Hayek Pinault posed on the arrival carpet alongside her husband of 17 years, François-Henri Pinault, chairman of Kering. Other high-profile stars at Sunday night’s annual gala included Demi Moore, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Julianne Moore, among others.

Demna’s Gucci design for Hayek Pinault comes after the creative director showcased his star-studded 2027 cruise collection in New York City. The Italian luxury fashion house, owned by Kering, contributes up to 40 percent of the French group’s sales, per Emily Mercer’s WWD report. Under Demna, the fashion house is poised for a new direction within the Kering banner.

Kering, which also owns luxury fashion houses Saint Laurent and Balenciaga, hosted its annual gala on Sunday night, honoring the contributions in front of and behind the camera of women in the film industry. The gala first launched in 2015.
