Nicole Kidman‘s tense interraction with Salma Hayek at Paris Fashion Week has another twist in the tale thanks to Salma’s personal links to Balenciaga.

Nicole and Salma were involved in what appeared to be a red carpet row at the Balenciaga show last month that saw the Australian actress walk off.  

They were stood in front of photographers with Katy Perry when a fiery altercation took place, apparently over Salma touching Nicole when they were asked to pose together. 

Footage of the incident two weeks ago emerged online on Sunday, and has sparked a social media frenzy over who was in the wrong. 

And now, some online commentators have pointed to a new level of awkwardness as Salma’s billionaire husband François-Henri Pinault, who she married in 2009, owns luxury brand Balenciaga, while Nicole is employed as a brand ambassador.
