Salma Hayek is typically the center of attention when she arrives on a red carpet – but she was overshadowed by her gorgeous model stepdaughter, Mathilde, on Wednesday.
The 57-year-old made it a family affair when she attended the Fondazione Cini, Isola Di San Giorgio photocall during the 60th Biennale Art 2024 in Venice alongside her husband, François-Henri Pinault, and Mathilde.
Salma looked stunning and put on a busty display in a strapless, blue sequinned gown that showcased her enviable curves to perfection.
However, it was hard to miss Mathilde, 23, who looked statuesque as she towered over her stepmom in a flowing, silver sequinned gown with a subtle train.
Salma and Mathilde posed for rare photos together and they both looked phenomenal in their figure-enhancing ensembles.
The trio were also joined by Salma's father-in-law, also called François, and the foursome posed for some rare family photos outside the event.

Salma's husband has another son with supermodel Linda Evangelista, Augustin James, who is 17 years old.

Salma was 41 when she welcomed her daughter and has stated she thinks she was a better mom because she was older.
"I feel that I've done enough things in life where I can appreciate the time I spend with her as my No. one priority and not feel I'm missing out on something," she previously told The Guardian.
"I feel I'm a lot more patient. I wouldn't trade this for anything in the world," she added.

François-Henri is the chairman and CEO of the French luxury goods company Kering, which owns Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Brioni, Boucheron, Pomellato, and more.
Speaking about her and François-Henri's first interaction in a 2019 interview, Salma gushed: "It’s such a romantic, amazing story."

The pair got engaged in 2007, however, Salma later admitted that she feared tying the knot, so her family surprised her and François-Henri with a wedding ceremony.

Following their Paris courthouse nuptials on February 14, 2009, Salma was very happy with her deepened relationship with her husband.

They renewed their vows again in Bora Bora in 2018.
