Salma Hayek exudes old Hollywood glamour in red gown as she attends state ... trends now

Salma Hayek exuded old Hollywood glamour as she attended a state dinner honouring China's President with her husband, Francois-Henri Pinault on Monday.

The actress, 57, looked sensational as she visited the Elysee Palace in Paris wearing a glorious blood-red gown.

Her well-tailored garment featured a floor-length tulle skirt and delicate elastic mesh gently cinched around her waist.

To accessorise her regal ensemble, Salma paired her long-sleeved dress with a basic silver clutch and a diamond-encrusted statement necklace.

The Vogue cover star added inches to her physique as she wore a pair of towering muted silver platform heels.

She was chaperoned by her husband Francois-Henri, 61, who looked dapper as ever in a navy blue pinstripe suit. 

Their outing comes after she shared rare photos from her wedding to businessman François-Henri on Instagram for their 15 year wedding anniversary.

The first photo featured the actress in makeup and seemed to be a behind-the-scenes look at her preparation for the ceremony.

The second photo, a black-and-white image of the actress's dressing room, showed her over $400K Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquiere dress hanging on a rack, next to another garment.

The last photo depicted the moment when the Kering CEO placed his bride's wedding band on her finger. 

The actress, in her stunning wedding dress, beamed at her husband.

'There are no words to explain the blessing of finding your soulmate. For all of you who found it, never take it for granted. 

'For all those of you who haven't, never give up. #tbt to one of the best days of my life,' the actress wrote in the caption.
