Salma Hayek is Lucky magazine’s cover girl this May, and boy does she have a lot to say!
Donning a beautiful blue Roland Mouretdress, Mrs. Pinault opens up on her amazing style, struggle with depression and Botox.
Here are some of the HIGHlights:
On her skin issues and surprising bout with depression:
“You want to talk about bad skin? I had acne. And this acne was so bad, it sent me into a severe, severe depression. Like I couldn’t leave the house. I’d wake up in the morning and lie there and touch my face before I got up, just to prepare myself to look in the mirror! The next stage with that sort of depression is food: too little, or too much. Guess what I did? I mean, I was fat and broken out, I couldn’t leave the house and I couldn’t pay the rent!”
On her toned down Parisian inspired hair:
├óΓé¼┼ô[My ponytail] is very Parisian. My husband, it├óΓé¼Γäós funny, but he hates it when I have this Parisian hair! He loves my crazy-maniac-madwoman just-got-out-of-the-shower hair. He is like the lawyer for my thick, wild, natural hair. He├óΓé¼Γäós like, ├óΓé¼╦£Why make it suffer?├óΓé¼Γäó But you know for 45 years I├óΓé¼Γäóve got this big hair, and these big boobs, and I├óΓé¼Γäóm this tiny person and sometimes├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥you just want to be … smaller.├óΓé¼┬¥
On her well known disdain of Botox:
“Botox, trust me I’ve been tempted—but I resist! Think about what happens to your muscles—and your skin—if you’re sick and don’t move for a few days. It all atrophies! Plus, if you freeze a muscle in your face, other muscles have to compensate! And once you stop, what does that look like?”
On how husband Francois-Henri influences her style:
“If you’re in love with someone, you always want to conquer them anew. Even if we don’t go out, I like to look nice for him. He inspires me. There are men who don’t notice what you’re wearing, and that’s cool. But when you make an effort, François-Henri appreciates it so much.”
And appreciate you we do!
