Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek's Viral Fashion Week Moment: Did She Really Say "Don’t Touch Me"?

Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek made headlines during Paris Fashion Week after a tense interaction at the Balenciaga show on September 30. The moment, which quickly went viral on social media, has left fans buzzing.

The incident occurred as the two actresses were posing for photos alongside singer Katy Perry. A video on TikTok shows Hayek gently trying to reposition Kidman by turning her toward the camera. Kidman, who seemed caught off guard, responded by grabbing Hayek’s hand and pushing it away.

After the brief exchange, Kidman leaned in to kiss Perry and then spoke a few words to Hayek before walking off. While the exact words exchanged remain unclear, Hayek was overheard saying, “Yes please. Advice,” to which someone, possibly Kidman, replied, “You don’t need it.” Hayek responded with, “I do.”

The Viral Moment: "Don't Touch Me"

The moment quickly sparked online reactions, with fans weighing in on the interaction. One fan humorously commented, “That ‘don’t touch me’ from Nicole to Salma at a show owned by her husband...that Balenciaga contract is in danger, I fear.” Another user added, “Am I deaf, or does anybody else not hear the ‘don’t touch me’?”

Hayek and Perry went on to pose for additional photos together, seemingly more relaxed than the earlier moment. While neither Kidman nor Hayek has publicly addressed the viral clip, fans continue to speculate about the nature of their interaction.

Both actresses were dressed to impress for the event. Nicole Kidman wore a sleek black turtleneck dress paired with sheer tights, stilettos, and sunglasses. Salma Hayek opted for a chic black dress with a plunging neckline. The appearance was particularly significant for Kidman, as it marked her first public outing since the passing of her mother, Janelle Anne Kidman, earlier in September.

A Time of Personal Reflection for Kidman

Just hours before receiving the Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival for her role in Babygirl, Kidman shared the heartbreaking news of her mother’s passing. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Kidman expressed gratitude for the support she had received. “My sister and I, along with our family, want to thank you for the outpouring of love and kindness we have felt this week. Every message we have received from those who loved and admired our Mother has meant more to us than we will ever be able to express.”

While the viral moment between Kidman and Hayek stole the spotlight, it also serves as a reminder that celebrities, like everyone else, can have off moments. Behind the glitz and glamor, they experience the same emotions and challenges as the rest of us. The warmth of the fans’ reactions, the humorous comments, and the sympathy for Kidman’s loss show how deeply people connect to these stars—not just for their fame, but for their humanity.

Paris Fashion Week is always a whirlwind of fashion, glamour, and surprises. This year, it also became a platform for real, unscripted human moments that the world won't soon forget.
