The Mexican actress Salma Hayek has had one of the main roles in the opening of the 2026 World Cup. The actress came out in a red suit and a blouse in vibrant colors. The hue projects strength, sensuality, style and elegance, experts say.
“Her styling is faithful to her personality: authentic and always ready to shine. On this historic day, this was how the actress confirmed during the opening match Mexico vs. South Africa that the relationship between fashion and football goes beyond the unexpected,” he said Vogue about her outfit.
As ambassador of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, she welcomed the sporting event that opened this Thursday at the Mexico City Stadium, known as Azteca, with a speech in which she highlighted the “union of football.”
“We welcome the entire world by receiving the flags of the 48 nations qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup Mexico,” said the Hollywood artist in front of a stadium full of film, sports and music stars.
