What did Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek say to each other during frosty encounter?

A recent viral video from Paris Fashion Week featuring Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek has captured the attention of fans and commentators alike.

A forensic lip reader has now shed light on the exchange between the two actresses, which took place during the Balenciaga show on September 30, alongside Katy Perry, who was positioned nearby.

According to Jeremy Freeman, a UK-based lip-reading expert, it was clear to see what Hayek said.

"Let's turn there, OK, here," Hayek reportedly declared.

Kidman reportedly responded in a short manner.

"Hey, I'm fine, I'm good. There, it's enough, it's OK."

As Hayek began to say, "We have to...," she paused to place her hand on Perry's shoulder.Freeman noted that Hayek then reassured Perry, telling her, "That's fine, that's fine," while encouraging the younger star-who wore sunglasses-to pay attention to the photographers capturing the scene.

Social media reacts to the awkward exchange

The video has sparked a mix of interpretations on social media, with some viewers perceiving the interaction as "tense." However, others suggested that the pressure of being surrounded by paparazzi may have contributed to the seemingly awkward moment. Despite the speculation, it appears that Kidman and Hayek interacted positively throughout the rest of the evening, as seen in various clips shared on Twitter.

One user pointed out that Kidman's demeanor could have simply reflected her feelings at that moment, especially as it was her first public appearance since the recent death of her mother.

In an emotional Instagram post, Kidman expressed her gratitude for the support she received during this difficult time.

"My sister and I along with our family want to thank you for the outpouring of love and kindness we have felt this week," Kidman posted on Instagram.

She also emphasized the importance of privacy for her family as they navigated their loss.

The Balenciaga show, where the interaction occurred, is part of Kering Group, a French luxury goods conglomerate that owns several prestigious brands, including Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, and Alexander McQueen. Hayek's husband, Franois-Henri Pinault, has served as the president and CEO of Kering since 2005, adding a layer of significance to the event and the dynamics at play.
