Salma Hayek rocks a black minidress and thigh-high boots in her latest appearance after admitting to secret marital pressures

Salma Hayek lit up the stage during her recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, wowing the audience in a chic black minidress and thigh-high boots.

The 57-year-old actress looked effortlessly glamorous, perfectly combining elegance with a hint of edginess. Salma's stunning outfit featured ruffled details that accentuated her figure and she paired it with statement thigh-high black leather boots, giving her look a powerful and sophisticated appeal. She added a chunky silver chain to complete the ensemble and exuded her signature style: glamorous, with a touch of rebellion.

During her lively conversation with Jimmy, Salma delighted fans by showcasing her fun-loving personality. In one memorable moment, she playfully introduced Jimmy to an unusual guest – a large snake draped around his shoulders!

Jimmy's reaction was priceless and Salma, ever the fearless star, expertly guided him through the experience, giving viewers of the show an unforgettable moment.

Salma's appearance on The Tonight Show comes amid her recent candid revelations about the pressure she feels in her high-profile marriage to François-Henri Pinault, the CEO of luxury fashion empire Kering.

Despite the couple's combined net worth, Salma spoke openly about the “pressure” she puts on herself to maintain her own financial independence. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, she shared, “I support many aspects of my life and myself. I have pressure to make a certain amount of money and I like that. And now I've decided I want to do more.

This is not the first time that the Frida actress has spoken about her independence. Salma, who married Pinault in 2009, revealed that the couple had not signed a prenup, emphasizing her commitment to maintaining her independence. Reflecting on her family's history, Salma explained that she grew up in comfort until her father, an oil executive, lost his fortune when she was in her 20s – a life lesson that has stayed with her.

The couple's love story began at a gala in Venice in 2006, and three years later they tied the knot, celebrating with both an intimate town hall ceremony in Paris and a grand affair in Venice.

Over the years, Salma has had to face critics who questioned her motives. Some speculated that she married Pinault because of his wealth. She opened up about these rumors on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast, saying, “When I married him, everyone said, 'It's an arranged marriage, she's marrying him for the money.' I'm like, 'Yeah, what whatever…think what you want. “Fifteen years together and we're strong in love and I'm not even offended.”

Salma further revealed that she initially had her own preconceived ideas about her husband due to his financial situation. “Rich men are also discriminated against. You immediately think that because someone is rich, maybe they are not a good person, maybe someone who is materialistic, maybe someone who has no values,” she explained. But when she got to know him, those assumptions faded. “It was the last thing I wanted – it wasn’t my type at all. And I came in with the prejudices and he (melted) them all away.”

The couple's bond has only grown stronger over time. When they celebrated their anniversary earlier this year, Salma referred to Pinault as her “soulmate.” She often praises her husband and says that the wonderful time they spent together is very valuable for both of them. “We don't have a very strong social life because we really enjoy spending time together,” she said at Harper's Bazaar's 150 Most Fashionable Women celebration in 2017. “So we spend a lot of time together.”
