Gazing at images of Salma Hayek and her kids, daughter Valentina and step-daughter Mathilde, at Paris Style Week, I discover myself questioning what it should be wish to have younger daughters who can pull off Balenciaga. In fact she’s proud. But in addition, like, is she a bit of intimidated?
On the extremely publicized Balenciaga present, set in an airplane hangar-turned-snow globe, Hayek, 55, wore a easy blue shirt over a black ribbed sweater and skirt. In the meantime, Valentina, 14, opted for sheer label-emblazoned tights with an LBD-like high and miniskirt, whereas Mathilde, 21, donned darkish denim all the way in which to the ground. (Maybe a nod to the continued joots pattern?) To additional assert their dominance, all three clutched shiny black purses. Though Mathilde towers over Valentina in peak, each radiate a confidence that matches their mom’s—irrespective of the many years of expertise between them.

This is not the primary time Valentina and Mathilde have stepped out wanting as in the event that they’d be simply as comfy on the runway as within the viewers. Valentina, particularly, has made appearances beside her mom on the Eternals pink carpet and Hollywood Stroll of Fame, the place she wore her acquainted all-black outfit and blessed the digicam with smooth smiles—the type that may’ve appeared constipated on a 14-year-old me.
The women take pleasure in two luxury-inclined dad and mom, on condition that their father is Hayek’s husband, Francois-Henri Pinault, the chairman and CEO of Kering, which owns designer manufacturers together with Bottega Veneta, Saint Laurent, Gucci, and, after all, Balenciaga. Sadly, my would-be kids is not going to take pleasure in two tastemaker dad and mom, however maybe they will purchase Valentina and Mathilde’s proclivity for power-dressing. If that is the case, I’ll cover amongst the viewers, awed however delighted.
