Top Moments When Salma Hayek Owned the 90s Red Carpet

Mexican film actress and producer Salma Hayek has been mastering red carpet style for decades now, making her a certified red carpet fashion veteran. While you may think her more recent looks have been somewhat predictable, following the current fashion trends, you may have a different opinion on her 90s looks.

The 1990s were when Hayek's fashion decisions took everyone’s breaths away - slicked back hair, bold wine coloured lips and figure-hugging ensembles were her thing and boy oh boy did she rock them. From silky slip dresses to an impressively large collection of little black dresses, Hayek always looked elegant and delicate with her personality bringing the perfect amount of confidence and sass. It would seem that, just as we do, Hayek looks back on her 90s looks fondly, stating in a Vogue video that “A lot of these looks, it was just my creativity. Trying to (navigate) the fact that I didn’t have a lot of resources. And I’m very proud that it was my imagination that made me create these looks.”
