Many dream of having access to a Hollywood veteran's red carpet wardrobe. For Salma Hayek [1]'s daughter Valentina Pinault, that's her reality. Wearing one of her mum's archival pieces, the 15-year-old joined Hayek on the Oscars red carpet [2] on 12 March as her date [3]. The "Magic Mike's Last Dance" [4] star sparkled in a custom Gucci dress with a halterneck and a fringe train, while her daughter matched in a strapless A-line gown by Isaac Mizrahi.
The 56-year-old actor and producer originally wore the velvet dress over 25 years ago, for the Fire & Ice Ball, a charity event, back in 1997. At the time, Hayek completed the look with a matching red shawl draped over her arms, a stacked diamond necklace, a sequinned red bag, and a classic red lip to tie it all together.
With help from Hayek's stylist Rebecca Corbin-Murray [5], Pinault modernised the gown for the 2023 Oscars with a simple tennis necklace and earrings from Anita Ko, a silver bag, and neutral makeup. Though the dress may belong to Hayek, it certainly appears to be made for the stylish teen, who's following in her mum's footsteps [6] as an aspiring actor and director.
The mother-daughter duo stopped by the Vanity Fair afterparty [7] later in the night, swapping their matching red ensembles for complementary pink and silver gowns. Hayek wore another dazzling Gucci creation, this time with a plunging neckline and a lace-up leg slit. Pinault, on the other hand, changed into a romantic rose-coloured gown with draped floral detailing.
Pinault isn't the only celebrity child to take advantage of a chic parent's wardrobe. Zahara and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt are known to snag a thing or two from mum Angelina Jolie [8]'s archives. Shiloh once wore one of Angelina's printed Dior dresses [9], while Zahara upcycled her mother's 2014 Oscars dress [10] during the same "The Eternals" press tour. Other celebrity offspring like Leni Klum [11] and Harper Beckham [12] have also worn pieces originally owned by their fashionable parents.
