AN awkward clash between Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek at Paris Fashion Week has sparked rumours of a secret feud.
Australian actress Nicole is accused of slapping down Salma, 58, by telling her “don’t touch me”.
She scowled at Salma whose husband François-Henri Pinault owns Balenciaga, which she’s a brand ambassador of, as they appeared to disagree in front of photographers.
The pair are believed to have been asked to pose together as they were stood with pop star Katy Perry.
As Salma reached out to guide Nicole towards the camera, she was swatted away by the Netflix star.
A witness claimed that Nicole raged: “Don’t touch me” before putting up her hand to keep Salma back.
Onlookers described how “you could cut the tension with a knife” as “embarrassed” Katy watched on.
Nicole kissed the singer goodbye before turning to exchange more tense words with Salma who looked stunned by the altercation.
The stars have known each other for decades having gone up against each other in the 2003 Oscars.
Nicole took home Best Actress for The Hours, while Salma left empty-handed for her performance in Frida.
The clip filmed two years ago has gone viral on TikTok with fans divided over who to support.
“Salma, whose fashion mogul husband François-Henri Pinault owns Balenciaga,” said one.
Another asked: “Why is Nicole being so rude?”
Someone else said: “I get that Salma was probably trying to direct her to pose for the cameras, but some people don’t like to be touched regardless of the situation, and you just gotta respect that.”
