Actress Salma Hayek looked on from a front-row perch at Giambattista Valli’s Spring 2013 Couture presentation at the gilded Italian Embassy in Paris, where the designer’s sculptural and slightly whimsical flurry of fashions were floated out on Monday.

For the runway show, Salma stunned in a little red dress from the Giambattista Valli Fall 2012 collection. The frock classically accented her enviable curves with its plunging V-neck bodice, a grosgrain ribbon cinched at the waist, and the fuller circle skirt of wool with silk godets.

Stacked bangles and a metallic bronze Alexander McQueen clutch added a cool edge, while black boots completed the look—and proved a necessary accoutrement for Paris’s snowfall.

Her jet-black hair, styled in loose waves, along with a nude lip complemented this sophisticated moment.
