Salma Hayek wears the first ever Gucci Couture dress to the Cannes Film Festival 2010

Salma Hayek’s one very lucky lady. The actress who is married to Francois-Henri Pinault, head of the PPR group which owns Gucci, Balenciaga and Yves Saint Laurent has been given the ultimate fashion privilege – to wear the first ever Gucci Couture dress.

And what better place to wear it than to the Cannes film festival 2010.

We reported on rumours of the brand’s new venture back in January, but until now we’ve seen no concrete evidence. However it seems the company has been working behind the scenes with this one and one thing’sfor sure; now that Salma’s started the trend, celebrities will be out in this designer range too. But will they look as stunning as Salma? We’ll just have to wait and see.
