Both on and off the red carpet, Salma Hayek frequently dons Gucci.
The 55-year-old Eternals actress is wed to François-Henri Pinault, chairman and CEO of luxury conglomerate Kering,
the organisation responsible for well-known brands like Gucci.
Hayek consequently serves as the unofficial "first lady" and brand ambassador for the Italian design company.
In the sections below, you may read about the couple's romantic history and Pinault's incredible career trajectory.
The 59-year-old French billionaire Pinault has a $7 billion net worth and a very successful business history.
His millionaire businessman father, François Pinault, who founded Groupe Artémis and Kering, is his father (formerly known as PPR).
He joined his father's company in 1987 after receiving his MBA from the HEC School of Management in 1985,
and he rose through the ranks until 2005, when he was named President and CEO of PPR.
Following PPR's metamorphosis into Kering and the assumption of the Gucci group's leadership,
upscale brands including YSL, Balenciaga, and Alexander McQueen joined the Gucci group.
Hayek and Pinault started dating in 2006, and Valentina was born on September 21, 2007. On Valentine's Day of 2009,
the Mexican-American actress wed the French fashion mogul in Paris; their union is still going strong today.
In actuality, it appears that the pair has become accustomed to repeating their vows, first in Venice soon
after their Paris wedding and then in Bora Bora in 2018, which Pinault planned as a surprise.
In an Instagram post, Hayek wrote, "My husband surprised me with a vow renewal -
it was not what I would have picked to wear to my wedding but I was informed I was going to the spa."
If Hayek had known about the vow renewal, she would have chosen a stunning Gucci dress.
However, the actress from Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard doesn't need a particular occasion to wear the label.
She is the "first lady" of the high-end industry and is always able to look chic in Gucci (as well as Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, etc.),
even if it's only for a stroll down the street. Actually, the stunning Latina has been donning Gucci both on and off the red carpet for years!
This is not meant to imply that the power couple solely values luxury.
Through the Pinault-founded and -led Kering Foundation, which advocates for the elimination of violence against women,
they are also actively involved in humanitarian work. As part of his humanitarian endeavours,
Pinault also donated US$113 million to help reconstruct the Notre Dame Cathedral, which was destroyed by fire in 2019.
The company Groupe Artémis, run by Hayek's spouse, has financial ties to sports and owns the Stade Rennais Football Club.
