During Paris Fashion Week, a tension-filled moment appeared to occur between actresses Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek at the Balenciaga show on September 30. In a video that has recently surfaced online, Kidman is seen pushing Hayek’s hand away when they went to pose for photos with Katy Perry. Hayek had used her hands to turn Kidman towards the flashing lights for another photo, but Kidman’s reaction was abrupt as she pushed her hand away and proceeded to exchange words with Hayek before walking away. It is unclear what was said between the two actresses, but Hayek can be heard saying, “Yes please. Advice” to which presumably Kidman responds, “You don’t need it.”
Following the tense moment between Kidman and Hayek, the actresses posed for photos with Katy Perry. Kidman was seen wearing a black turtleneck dress with sheer tights, stilettos, and sunglasses, while Hayek sported a black dress with a plunging neckline. Representatives for both actresses did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding the incident. This appearance marked the first time Kidman had been seen in public since the passing of her mother in early September. Kidman had announced the death of her mother, Janelle Anne Kidman, just before being named best actress at the Venice Film Festival for her role in “Babygirl.”
In a tribute to her mother, Nicole Kidman shared photos and a message on Instagram thanking everyone for their love and kindness during that difficult time. She expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support and requested privacy as her family coped with their loss. Instead of attending the event at the film festival, Kidman returned home to be with her family in Australia. Two weeks after her mother’s passing, Nicole’s husband, Keith Urban, provided an update on their family, stating that everyone was doing well during an interview with the Times of London. The couple appreciated the support and respect for their privacy as they focused on taking care of each other.
The video of Kidman and Hayek’s encounter garnered attention online, with many speculating about the cause of the tension between the two actresses. Fans and followers expressed curiosity about the exchange that occurred during the photo shoot with Katy Perry. Despite the awkward moment, both Kidman and Hayek continued with the photo session and the event, with Hayek later responding, “I do,” when advised that she did not need something. The interaction between the two stars provided a glimpse into a moment of unexpected tension and intrigue during the glamorous Paris Fashion Week event.
