Salma Hayek Goes Monochromatic in Burgundy Dress and Gucci Leather Jacket for Fashion Trust Arabia Dinner

Salma Hayek attended Qatar’s Fashion Trust Arabia (FTA) dinner in London on Wednesday, celebrating the FTA 2023 winners. Hayek donned a monochromatic burgundy ensemble featuring a fitted dress paired with a matching jacket from Gucci’s spring 2024 “Ancora” collection. She completed her outfit with deep-red platform sandals and a Gucci Bamboo handbag.

Gucci’s spring 2024 collection marked the runway debut of Sabato De Sarno as the brand’s creative director. “He leaned into the clean, elegant daywear trend seen at Prada, among others, with 1960s-meets-1990s tailored coats, super-short shorts and cute logo rompers and jumpers, body-skimming tanks and knit sets, baggy jeans and crystal bra tops,” WWD previously reported.
