The Week’s Best Dressed Star: Salma Hayek

Salma Hayek often opts for ultra-sultry gowns with look-at-me silhouettes and tons of sex appeal. But after earning style props from more than 14,000 StyleWatch readers and landing herself at the top of our current best-dressed list, the Savages star may start to rethink her style choices. She snagged the number-one spot thanks to a simple, subtle and yes, even a bit conservative, sheath
Mexican actress’s knee-length leather charcoal dress, worn with Sergio Rossi pumps and a bright-red pout to the Savages photocall in Rome, got an 82 percent approval rating and helped her edge out pal Penélope Cruz, who wore a L’Wren Scott floral-print dress, a coordinating clutch and black Ferragamo heels at the Spain photocall for Twice Born. She also beat Taylor Swift, Natalie Portman and Halle Berry. No easy feat.
We have a feeling that Hayek may have turned over a new leaf and we expect to see her in similarly understated stylish ensembles over the next few months.
