Actress Salma Hayek, 56, took to Instagram on Sunday to celebrate her Latino heritage - and shared an unseen photo from the 2023 Met Gala after party in the process.

The Magic Mike's Last Dance star shared a gallery of photos highlighting the "brilliant new generation of Latina actress," one of which was a snap beside Netflix's Wednesday's leady lady, Jenna Ortega.

"I’m always inspired when I hang out with the brilliant new generation of Latina actresses, they inject me with strength and inspiration. #latinopride #sisterhood," Salma captioned her post, which was met with several thousand likes. 

Salma's photo gave a rare glimpse inside the illustrious Met Gala, which is typically a no-go zone for press and paparazzi. The star was standing inside the NYC gallery, surrounded by the portraits and sculptures that are hidden away from public view for the night during fashion's most coveted affair.

In her candid selfie with Jenna, the actress was wearing her spellbinding tulle Gucci gown that was formed from a futuristic hybrid of latex and tulle. The Mexican-American star's cherry-red gown comprised a crimson bustier laced with draped pearl sleeves on the shoulders.

The voluminous skirt further upped the ante with a sheer lace underlay at the center, which Salma teamed with a pair of matching platform heels. Salma slicked her raven hair into a sleek low ponytail, accessorizing with enchanting diamond jewelry by Lorraine Schwartz. 

While Salma's selfie with Jenna was in black and white, that didn't stop fans from flocking to the comments to relive her jaw-dropping Met Gala ensemble. "GORGEOUS," quipped one fan, as another penned: "Salma you are a goddess."
