Some couples manage to look coordinated without looking like they tried. Salma Hayek and her husband, François-Henri Pinault, have built a reputation for exactly that, whether they are at a fashion show, a gala or a sporting event. A pair of photos of the two at Roland Garros is making the rounds again, and the appeal is easy to see.

The images show the couple posed in front of the tournament’s signature clay-colored backdrop in the kind of black-on-black style Paris does best. Hayek is in a black top, black leather knee-length shorts and chunky black slides, with a red bag in her hand, while Pinault wears a black leather jacket over a white T-shirt and gray jeans. Based on the outfits, the pictures appear to date to the French Open earlier this year rather than this week.

That context matters, because the tournament is held in late spring. Hayek and Pinault attended day eight of the 2026 French Open on Sunday, May 31, and the look they wore that day was widely covered by fashion and celebrity outlets. Now the same photos are circulating again, and the reaction is as warm as it was the first time.

On May 31, the couple watched Germany’s Alexander Zverev beat the Netherlands’ Jesper de Jong in three straight sets. Hayek and Pinault sat in the stands, looking relaxed and chatting between points. British outlets described the pair as affectionate throughout the afternoon.

Hayek, 59, shared photos from the day on Instagram, where she celebrated watching Zverev win. Fans who saw her on television responded with delight, with one viewer in the UK writing that they had spotted her during the broadcast. For a couple who often split their time between Paris and other cities, it was a typical display of their comfort in the French capital.

The standout piece was Hayek’s long black leather shorts, cut just below the knee. Outlets described them as a divisive choice, but they were part of a deliberate European off-duty look. She paired them with a fitted black top with red and green trim at the neckline, oversized sunglasses and chunky black leather sandals with silver hardware.

The red bag stole the show. Hayek carried a woven red handbag from Bottega Veneta, a Kering brand, which added a vivid pop of color against all the black. Later in the day, she added a black newsboy cap, a nod to the early-2000s trend that fashion editors have said is making a comeback.

Her hair also drew attention. She wore it down in natural waves, with silver strands on show, a look that outlets have described as a signature beauty choice for her. It is a confident styling statement from an actress who has long been open about embracing her natural self.

Pinault, 64, kept things simple. He wore a black leather jacket over a white T-shirt, gray jeans, black loafers and sunglasses, a deliberate echo of his wife’s leather accents. The result was what fashion writers called twinning without looking matchy.

He is also, of course, the chairman and CEO of Kering, the luxury group behind Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga and Bottega Veneta. That gives their public outings an extra dimension, since it is hard to separate the couple’s style from the world of high fashion they inhabit. At the same time, his casual look on the clay-court backdrop suggested a man happy to let his wife take the spotlight.

Hayek and Pinault have been married since 2009 and have a daughter, Valentina, who was born in 2007. Hayek is also close to Pinault’s children from previous relationships, and the family is often seen together at events in Paris. Their appearances are a regular source of fashion commentary, from Gucci shows in London to the tennis courts of Roland Garros.

What makes the French Open pictures resonate is their ease. There is no red carpet pose, no heavy glam, just two people who look comfortable with each other and with their clothes. In an era of carefully staged celebrity photos, that is a refreshing change.

The renewed attention also says something about how long a good look can last. Months after the tournament, fans are still talking about the leather shorts, the red bag and the newsboy cap, proving that a well-chosen outfit does not need to be brand new to be noticed.
