Forensic lip reader Jeremy Freeman has thrown on his detective hat (probably metaphorically) and dissected that viral clip of Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek at the Balenciaga fashion show during Paris Fashion Week. Because obviously, if thereβs anything more thrilling than couture, itβs two A-listers having a mild conversation under the public gaze. Drama? Almost. Entertaining? Absolutely.
Picture this: Nicole and Salma, shimmering like deities wrapped in haute couture, posing in front of a camera army. Photographers are practically climbing over each other like itβs a National Geographic wildlife doc, shouting things like βTHIS WAY, NICOLE!β and βSALMA, JUST ONE MORE!ββall while these two legends exchange the most diplomatically passive-aggressive conversation you could imagine.
Now, according to Jeremy, the Sherlock Holmes of lip reading, Salma apparently leaned in and whispered to Nicole, βLetβs turn here.β Sounds innocent, right? Wrong. This is the kind of coded language that says, βIf we donβt move, these photographers are going to eat us alive.β
But Nicole, ever the queen of calm, allegedly replied, βHey, Iβm fine, Iβm good. There, itβs enough, itβs okay.β Translation: βWeβve done enough spinning. Iβm not a rotating dessert platter.β
Salma then seemingly tried to escalate things with the very ominous, βWe have toβ¦β but immediately followed it with the ultimate celebrity peace treaty: βThatβs fine, thatβs fine.β (Nothing says “I’m done with this” quite like a repeated βthatβs fine.β) Then, in a plot twist no one saw coming, Salma threw her arm around Katy Perry, who just appeared out of nowhere, like some fashionable Easter egg. Because why not? If you canβt wrangle Nicole Kidman, you grab the nearest pop star.
And before anyone could spiral into fan-fiction territory about feuds, a source told TMZ: βThereβs no beef, okay? Nicole was just ready to leave.β Translation: βNicole was halfway out the door mentally, dreaming of pajamas and herbal tea.β
No drama, no shadeβjust two icons low-key trying to survive Paris Fashion Week without being permanently blinded by camera flashes. Moral of the story? Even superstars get exhausted, but they do it with grace, designer outfits, and an impromptu Katy Perry cameo.
