Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek shared a brief but seemingly tense moment at the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week on September 30. In a video circulating online, Salma gently placed a hand on Nicole's arm, seemingly to guide her for a photo, but Nicole pushed her hand away and turned to greet Katy Perry instead. The pair exchanged some words before Nicole walked off, leaving Salma to pose with Katy for the cameras.
While some social media users speculated tension between the two, a source told "TMZ" there’s no bad blood. The clip was captured as Nicole was leaving the show, and any awkwardness was likely a misunderstanding. Salma later dismissed the moment, posting an Instagram photo with Kidman and praising the event, writing, “Finally last night the grand finale of my Paris Fashion Week 2025. 👏 Balenciaga and Demna for a terrific show.”
