Salma Hayek Joins Torch Relay In Versailles As Paris Olympics Approach

Salma Hayek participated in the Torch Relay in Versailles on Tuesday, marking a key event in the lead-up to the Paris Olympics. The relay, which took place in the historic French city, serves as a prelude to the Games set to officially start this Friday.

For the occasion, Hayek embraced a sporty look, donning the official Torch Relay uniform. The outfit featured a sleek track suit adorned with orange accents along the sleeves, complemented by white sneakers. She completed her look with an elegant ponytail and minimal accessories, opting for a pair of gold earrings.

Hayek’s involvement in the relay underscores her strong connections to France. She has been married to François-Henri Pinault, CEO of luxury conglomerate LVMH and president of the investment group Artémis, since 2009. Her participation follows that of other notable figures including Halle Berry, Princess Charlene, and Prince Albert II of Monaco, all of whom have taken part in the Torch Relay, which began on May 8.

The 2024 Olympic Torch, designed by Mathieu Lehanneur, symbolizes unity between male and female athletes through its symmetrical design. The Paris Olympics are scheduled to run from July 26 to August 11, celebrating a tradition of global sporting excellence.
