Salma Hayek turned 60 on September 2, and true to form, she marked the milestone in full glamour mode. In a video shared by a family friend and later reshared by fashion press, Hayek celebrated her birthday in a plunging, floral slip dress with barely-there straps and a statement diamond necklace strung with hanging gem pendants, taking part in a traditional Mexican birthday custom with her 18-year-old daughter, Valentina.

The birthday moment lands as a fitting checkpoint for an actress whose red-carpet formula has remained remarkably consistent even as trends have cycled through her four-decade career. Since her 2009 marriage to Kering CEO François-Henri Pinault, Hayek has worn almost exclusively Kering-owned labels, most often Gucci, alongside occasional Alexander McQueen and Balenciaga moments, and the result is a recognizable throughline: fitted, curve-conscious silhouettes, richly saturated jewel tones, and a near-total avoidance of minimalism. Where many of her peers have drifted toward quiet, pared-back dressing in recent seasons, Hayek has stayed loyal to plunging necklines, sequins, and color, a red velvet gown for one November appearance, a green sequined Gucci gown covered edge to edge at last year's LACMA Art+Film Gala, a deep purple Alexander McQueen gown at Cannes.
