Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek just pulled off the ultimate “we’re totally cool, stop asking” moment at the 2025 Golden Globes. Months after whispers of tension between the two made the rounds (because, of course, we can’t have nice things), they sashayed onto the red carpet looking like besties who share skincare secrets.
Rewind to Paris Fashion Week
Picture this: Nicole, Salma, and Katy Perry are trapped in a glamorous paparazzi tornado at the Balenciaga show. Salma, being the assertive queen she is, tries to get Nicole to pivot for the cameras—because hello, angles matter. Nicole, however, channels her inner “don’t touch my couture” energy, swats Salma’s hands, and peaces out faster than a Kardashian leaving a boring party. Cue the internet frenzy, because drama and celebrities go together like croissants and Paris.
The Golden Globes Glow-Up
Fast forward to Sunday night, where Nicole and Salma strolled onto the red carpet looking like nothing ever happened. Were they laughing? Yes. Hugging? Probably. Did they plan this to squash the drama once and for all? Most definitely.
You can catch the photographic evidence on DailyMail.com because, apparently, we all need to analyze their body language like it’s a secret FBI dossier.
The “Nothing to See Here” Sources Speak
Back when the Paris clip went viral, insiders were quick to shut it down like bouncers at an exclusive club. One source told People that the whole thing was a misunderstanding: “They were in the middle of a conversation while dodging a camera apocalypse. Everyone chill.” Another chimed in with, “Salma and Nicole adore each other. This is a big ol’ bag of nothing.”
Translation? The drama was about as real as Nicole’s wig in Moulin Rouge.
Fun Fact Time!
In case you forgot, Salma is married to Francois-Henri Pinault, who basically owns half of luxury fashion through Kering, the company behind Balenciaga. Their wedding cost more than some countries’ GDPs, which is the kind of flex we can all aspire to.
So, the moral of the story? Celebs are just like us—except when they’re not—and sometimes, a little red-carpet reunion is all it takes to turn rumors into memes. Stay fabulous, Nicole and Salma. We’re rooting for you!
