Its official, Cannes Film Festival has started.
Salma Hayek arrived with Antonio Banderas at the Carlton Beach for the 2011 Cannes Film Festival “Puss In Boots” Photocall.
We should not be surprised that the Latin beauty is wearing Gucci.
She opted to wear a cognac Gucci leather strapless dress with a floral appliqué shrug and the runway purple snake-skin belt from the Fall 2011 collection.
Whilst I love the creativity, I don’t think the shrug was necessary but is does add a fun element to the look.
The actress becomes the first to carry the Gucci 1973 bag which I saw at the Gucci Fall 2011 press day recently.

I agree with every little word you said in this post.
very sexy woman!
Surely she could have left the shrug. Also isnt it a bit hot to wear leather.
Leather dress in Cannes? Seriously?!
agree. also don’t like the way the dress squishes her chest (small pic 3)
I agree with you, also I don’t like the fact that she’s dressed like a diva while A. Banderas is so casual.
I want that bag <3_<3
While I like the dress, I don’t think it is “season” appropriate. I agree with when you say that the shrug wasn’t needed. But she does look good.
Gorgeous! the dress fits her perfectly and the shrug adds whimsy. Starting off with a bang!
I adore this look: it is ultra-feminine and fun. For me the only downside is the bag: I would looooooooooooove owning it but I don’t like its colour agains the red of her outfit.
I’m really not a fan of the shrug. It overwhelms her, and takes a nice sleek look and makes it fussy.
The shrug needs to go. Everything else is fantastic.
i love this look sexy yet classy and she rocks that shrug better than JLo in a Diva off Salma wiPr
wrong look at the wrong time. It’s a sunny day. Shrug and leather? really Salma, really??
she loves red…. somehow i just associate her with this colour?!
The shrug is amazing but it’s a bit big on her. Was on JLo too… But the dress is great on her! It’s the perfect cut.
while i think she looks great, i agree that it’s not weather appropriate and so it loses its appeal for me.
Dont know how much I like the shrug, I think she could have given it a miss. Although the twins seem to be in check for a change, how much weight did she lose. I like what I see minus the shrug, lol.
I don’t know maybe I’m the only one, but I like the shrug. It gives the look the drama I expect at Cannes. Sleeked back hair was definitely the right choice.
I’m sweating just looking at her. She looks great, but she had GOT to be hot( literally) in that outfit.
What happened to the suitcase of Antonio Banderas? Has the airlines lost it somewhere? Or it is OK for men to dress up for Cannes like a construction worker? OMG, some years ago he was one of the sexiest man on Earth!
I think she copied the styling off JLo at the Met Gala
