8 photos in galleryBless Salma Hayek. While every other celebrity was locked inside this weekend, she was hitting the PR trail for Puss in Boots, and hitting it hard. Can I admit that, until I read something about that movie recently, I had no idea it was a Shrek spin-off? And now it seems so obvious. I may have missed this primarily because I’ve only seen the first Shrek, thanks to the fact that the last two came out after I decided I was no longer in thrall to Mike Myers (don’t worry, Mike — Wayne’s World was on heavy rotation on cable this weekend, and we might be reconciling. Thanks for the good times). Let’s take a look at all the stuff she wore out on the road.

I join you in wondering why a woman this hot with this much money and married to a man who owns a so many fashion companies looks so blah these days. What is up with that?
One other thing—in photo #3 I think she’s actually been accessories-bombed by Puss in Boots. (His outfit has a bit of a Captain Jack Sparrow vibe going, but it’s more Musketeer than pirate.)
In the one with the hat she looks like Paula Abdul. WTF.
This was uniformly fug and/or blah. Impossible I would have said prior to this post!
I just want to point out that in Picture #2, there was actually some sword fighting.

There was also a psychotic looking Puss In Boots, so, you know, points to her for not looking all sweaty and uncomfortable…
OK- I’m not usually a big “feminazi” or anything, but this caption kind of pissed me off:
“Fighting form: The 45-year-old actress and co-star Antonio Banderas show off their sword skills on the red carpet”
Um. How come we don’t get to know how old Antonio Banderas is? How come he gets named but she doesn’t?
Irksome.
It’s the Daily Mail. I don’t expect actual journalism from The Daily Mail. It has taken the place in my heart used to be occupied by the Weekly World News. (Yes, WWN has a website, but it’s got a horrible layout and it’s just not the same as the print version with the horrible b/w pictures you used to get at the grocery store…)
Antonio Banderas is looking uncomfortably like Simon Cowell with that haircut.
Yeah, this is the first time I’ve actually seen Antonio look his age–which is totally fine. I don’t want to see him start taking “graceful aging” advice from Melanie Griffith. It’s just bizarre, I don’t think I’ve seen him in a while.
The Belts, The Belts! Get rid of them. Or at least make them smaller and less intrusive.
She should never wear ankle straps.
My slideshow started at #8…. just sayin’
I like #2 but the rest are meh. And she does seem to belt everything!
Thanks, it’s been fixed.
Don’t you think a lot of these make her legs (which are lovely) look… well not so lovely? And that hair in the dowdy outfit… yikes!
Yes, the 1st picture here is the last one in the slideshow!
Nevermind, it was being fixed as I was typing!
As a chesty lady (but sadly bearing no other resemblance beyond that to the lovely Ms. Hayek), I think the belting is an easy way to define her waist/torso, especially in clothing that isn’t tailored to her exact dimensions. I had to go seriously large in shirts (even to a certain extent after a reduction) so that they would fit properly over the girls, and that always adds to your girth, even if you’re tiny in the middle.
Of course, why she doesn’t have outfits tailored specifically is another question…
I am in LUST with the outfit in Pic #2 and I WANT IT!!! The same thing may be said about Antonio Banderas!
I actually like the white one—slide #1—if the belt had been silver though. I think the white is what is making it look like a back brace. I also think she probably belts most outfits because her waist is tiny and it accentuates her curves very nicely. When she’s not belted she looks more square, which she obviously is not. Perhaps some clothes with obvious waists would be wonderful on her.
She did have some really cute shoes on this run, though.
Is it possible she just doesn’t know how to dress for cold weather? In scrolling through these pics, I felt she was distinctly cold and uncomfortable, while trying to retain her innate hotness. That’s got to be a difficult thing, I’d think (not that I’d know). I mean, I’d rather she look boring than show up in hot pants and Uggs, yaknowwhatImean?
I was thinking about the cold factor too. She’s especially wrapped up for the German and English premieres.
Holy cow, I totally forgot Deenie. That took a long time to come back into focus, up from all the way at the bottom of my memory ocean. Wow.
In defence of Salma’s excessive belting, I have to say I also have a large chest and a (relatively) small waist and belts are my best friend. Otherwise every piece of clothing that is not clingy just hangs down awkwardly from my boobs and I consistently look 6 months pregnant. I would LOVE to get my hands on her belt collection.
Exactly. It’s called “dressing for your figure type.”
“Glamorous scoliosis?” Really? I wore a back brace for scoliosis for seven years and I thought “Deenie” was pretty realistic. There’s nothing glamorous about a Milwaukee brace. Trust me.
I like some of the clothes, but man, did you ever hit it on the head about #5 making her look dowdy. That outfit looks like separates from Dress Barn’s holiday collection. And possibly like they came from two different years.
I obviously don’t actually think scoliosis is glamorous. When you do not have scoliosis and you’re reading a book about it written in the 70s and you’re a hypochondriac, and you’re 8, things seem otherwise.
Ah. I misunderstood. A lot of times when people use “glamorous” to describe an illness or disorder in fiction, it means that said problem was totally downplayed so that the character just was interesting and tragic, but not unattractive (i.e., Satine’s “glamorous tuberculosis” or the Phantom’s “glamorous facial scarring”).
I can see where Deenie would make scoliosis appear pretty glamorous to an 8 year old. After a brief adjustment period, it wasn’t life threatening, it improved just about every aspect of her life, and she got to stay pretty and popular throughout the story. That makes sense.
Some serious fashion dissociative personality disorder going on here. Several of the combinations looked like a secretary bashed together with a bar fly and neither is winning.
Except number 6 which just looks like a secretary and I secretly covet that blouse. That belt buckle would do serious damage after sitting for any appreciable amount of time. I’ll take the jacket in number 7, too. Thanks.
Yeah, some of the stuff is fug, but overall I give her great credit for dressing her massive chest so that she looks sexy and lovely and curvy but NOT all BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBS! about it. There’s nothing wrong with showing some awesome cleavage where appropriate, but too many mammarially-blessed women have no CLUE how to dress if they aren’t putting out the display rack. Several of these are really lovely; I especially like #1, 2, & 3.
My girl crush on Salma Hayek continues. She’s so pretty. OK, a few of her outfits were fug, but still so pretty.
I think she just does worse and worse. There’s not an outfit up there I’d keep if I were styling her. All the elastic, the too tight belts, and those dreadful hoof shoes. I know her husband is like a bazillion years old, but she’s getting her dressing tips from the ladies at the bingo tables at the rest home.
It kind of astounds me a little how nearly nothing she’s wearing actually fits. It makes me suspect she’s actually only borrowing the wardrobe for the press tour, and thus can’t have them altered for her very petite, curvy frame. It’s a shame because she is stunning. It also kind of makes me want to cheer because I’M tiny and curvy and it’s hell to find clothes that fit.
I’m with Edith & AJ. She’s unusually meh here, but she keeps herself nice and I still love looking at her.
“I mean, I’m sure every part of this ensemble costs more than my car, but she still looks like she threw a car coat over her 1987 Winter Formal dress to run out and get a gallon of milk.”
One of my most favorite fug quotes in recent memory. I totally wanted the top and couldn’t understand why my eyes saw fugliness below it. There are so many things you could wear that top with that do not make it look like exactly what you describe.
You missed Mr. Banks’ more important accoutrement: a carnation! Otherwise, spot on.
Not only are most of these outfits disappointments — we all know how fantastic she can look with very little effort — I really don’t like her haircut. But at least it looks like it’s all her own hair.
I kind of dig #4. Don’t hate – I suspect that the gauzy thing that looks like a blouse is a scarf. Now, imagine you are wearing a translucent aqua scarf with a fierce suit and tight vest. Sexy, right? Sexi…er?
Am I the only one who finds it unfortunate that that adorable child will most likely take after her père in the looks department? Also, Salma has sort of the same style problem that Maggie MacGregor had in Scruples: She dresses like she’s ten feet taller and not as curvy. Alas, Salma has no Spider Elliott to make her see the error of her ways…
Before she met this billionaire husband and his fashion houses, Salma dressed impeccably. I mean, I recall a few posts on here where she was featured as a “this is how it’s done, bitches” example. Now it’s like she’s choosing from fashion lines which have dedicated their existence to dressing people who do not look like Salma: petite and curvy. She’s wearing clothing cut for the tall and thin, and she’s wearing it without any perceptible alteration (as in none of the outfits shown above actually fit her properly). On top of everything, the platform shoes (which are so 5 years ago already) make her legs look like short, thick stumps. The woman is stunningly beautiful, and yet she’s never looked so bad in public. She really needs help to find her style again, because everything she’s putting on looks like she’s costumed to be someone she can’t possibly be.
Aw, Deenie reference. Memories!
I find these mostly okay, but I agree she needs a tailor. I understand the need to belt things (I am not that busty, but I have a few friends who are), but while my gal pals cannot afford to get everything custom-made to fit them, she can. She’s had that figure for ages, so you’d think she’d have gotten on that, unless as someone said, she’s borrowing clothes. But I feel for her when it comes to cold weather, since I live in the south. Sometimes I just don’t know how to make WARM actually look HOT & just do my best to bundle up when I’m suddenly all up in the BRRR COLD weather.
Bless you for thinking there have only been 3 Shrek movies. There have been 4, and each sequel has attained a whole new level of atrocity.
Can I just say how much I want her hairstylist in my house with a blow-dryer and a round brush every morning around 6:15?
