AceShowbiz - Tensions ran high at the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week on September 30, where a viral video caught actresses Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek in a seemingly uncomfortable exchange. The moment was further scrutinized by expert lip reader Jeremy Freeman, who revealed what he believes the pair said to each other.
In the video, Hayek, 58, attempted to turn Kidman, 57, towards photographers, suggesting, "Let's turn here." Kidman, appearing somewhat put out, responded, "Hey, I'm fine, I'm good. There, it's enough, it's OK," before kissing pop star Katy Perry, who was also present. Hayek tried once more, but Kidman remained firm.
The interaction, which saw Kidman seemingly push Hayek's hand away, left Hayek looking a bit taken aback. Both stars were dressed in black from head to toe with Kidman hiding her eyes behind oversized dark sunglasses.
Despite the awkward interaction, other video footage from the event showed the two stars smiling and interacting pleasantly, suggesting the single tense moment perhaps was just a misunderstanding. Kidman even sat next to Hayek's husband, François-Henri Pinault, the CEO of Kering, which owns Balenciaga, during the show.
The incident occurred during Kidman's first public appearance since her mother's sudden death, possibly explaining her discomfort in front of the cameras. One X user aptly noted, "Nicole was just not feeling the moment, and that's OK."
The fallout from this brief encounter saw mixed reactions online. Some social media users criticized Kidman's behavior, while others defended her privacy and emotional state given her recent loss.
Meanwhile, Hayek appeared to take the incident in stride, even posting a photo of herself with Kidman on Instagram, seemingly dispelling any rumors of underlying animosity.
Kidman who is a brand ambassador for Balenciaga was joined by other high-profile celebrities like Anna Wintour, Kyle MacLachlan, and Bill Skarsgard at the event. In the star-filled room, it's clear that the evening was packed with nuanced interactions and personal dynamics.
Neither Kidman nor Hayek has publicly addressed the exchange, leaving fans and followers to speculate about the nuances of the interaction. Meanwhile, the world of social media continues to debate the significance of this brief, yet viral, encounter.
