Salma Hayek oozes retro glamour as she gives inspirational talk at Advertising Week Europe
A regular at Fashion Week shows, the stylish 48-year-old oozed Hollywood glamour as she was snapped at St James' Church in Piccadilly.
She teamed a pair of flared trousers with a bright red jumper and white collar, covering her eyes with a pair of large sunglasses.
The brunette then finished off the look with lashings of red lipstick, a pair of open-toe heels and a long navy blue coat
Hayek kicks off a jam packed celebrity line-up, with the likes of Kim Cattrall and Sir Kenneth Brannagh also giving inspirational talks throughout the week.
The actress used her talk with senior Facebook executive Nicola Mendelsohn to also announce her social networking debut.
She's set to open her very own Instagram and Twitter accounts on Tuesday.
"I’m a rebel and I don’t want to do what everyone else does," she said at the event, according to The Guardian.
"I did resist [social media]. I have this idea that I [like to be personally] present, I’m not always calling, texting. When I am with you, I am with you. And I feel sometimes people are not so present because of social media."
Hayek also said that although she's a little late on the social media bandwagon, she's chosen to launch her profiles now, to say thank you to her fans.
“You cannot deny it is a very important part of today,” she said. This is the strength of technology, everybody gets to have a voice,” the star then added. “People have regained some power, there is a lot of hope in that. I feel many times people in power, in big corporations, dictate which way we go. It is like a peaceful revolution."
She went on to say that social media and advertisements are also helping women feel empowered.
"Women are also saying I don’t want to be a stick, I want curves, I don’t want to starve myself to death," Hayek explained.
"I want to eat, I want to be healthy. I think [the ad industry] is beginning to discover women and women are saying this is who we are and what we want. I think we are empowering ourselves and more and more consumers are changing the advertising world."
