Olive, you had a good run. Sage, stay in the kitchen. Lime? Only for St. Paddy’s (and vacations to Mexico). Forest green is back. At least, Salma Hayek is making me think so.
The Oscar winner attended the Saint Laurent womenswear fall 2023 show at Paris Fashion Week in a slinky green floor-length dress that hovers somewhere between forest, jade, and emerald. It’s both a jewel tone and an earth tone, a balance Hayek emphasized with a bold accessory: a crystal on a gold chain. Opulent, yet earthy.
To complete the look, Hayek paired black heels with a black clutch and a black cropped blazer, tailored to perfection. She kept her nails dark and her hair shiny; another Disney Villain girly on the rise?
Hayek even matched her metallic eyeshadow to her dress, proving that rules are meant to be broken. Sometimes, the same color on your body and face can look kind of immature, but with a hue this rich and a style this sleek, it absolutely works.

Gorgeous.
In a recent conversation with Glamour, Hayek reflected on the ups and downs of getting dressed for a red carpet. While considering a revealing gown with her daughter, Hayek recalled saying, “‘But honey, you see the belly, you see that I have a belly. And I don’t want to be sucking it in.’ And then I said, ‘You know what? Screw that. I’m 56, everything else looks good.’” Yes it does!
Hey, while you’re here, would you like to watch Salma Hayek ladle herself chicken soup in a sprawling hotel suite while wearing pajamas and a gold face mask? Yes, you do! Seemingly apropos of nothing except having fun, Hayek posted a short clip to Instagram in which she wears, for the first time, gold face stuff. “Beauty is very important, but eating is even more [important],” she muses, and we heartily agree.
