Salma Hayek was Olympic-ready at the Paris Olympics torch relay at Versailles on Tuesday, showcasing a stylish and athletic look. Dressed in the 2024 Olympics torchbearer all-white uniform, Hayek radiated sporty chic. However, her choice of footwear caught the most attention: off-white chunky sneakers.
These sneakers are not only a fashion statement but also a practical choice for the occasion. With their robust design and comfortable fit, they are perfect for a run, offering both support and style. The chunky soles provide excellent traction, ideal for the cobblestone streets of Versailles where the relay took place. The sneakers’ off-white hue complemented her outfit, blending seamlessly with her athletic wear while standing out just enough to make a fashionable impact.

Salma Hayek carried the Olympic torch from the Yvelines suburb to the majestic Versailles Palace, joining forces with Didier Deschamps, the esteemed trainer of the France national soccer team, and singer Patrick Bruel. As they completed this significant segment of the relay, the excitement for the upcoming Paris Olympics grew. The Games are set to kick off this Friday with a grand opening ceremony, promising a spectacular start to a historic event.
Hayek’s participation in the torch relay is not just a testament to her athletic prowess but also highlights her deep ties to France. Her husband, François-Henri Pinault, is the head of the luxury group Kering and CAA owner Artemis, further cementing her connection to the country.
Hayek has recently gravitated towards bold footwear choices for her public appearances as of late. Last week, she made a splash at the Gucci summer party in Los Angeles, sporting a striking pair of sky-high platform heels by the italian luxury brand.
