"Asking for a friend": Salma Hayek video sparks hilarious reactions in wake of Instagram wardrobe malfunction

Mexican-American actress, Salma Hayek Pinault recently crossed 24 million followers on Instagram, on Tuesday, May 16, 2023. To commemorate the milestone, the From Dust Till Dawn actress shared a video of herself dancing while getting ready with her team.

The clip, taken in a hotel room, shows an excited Salma Hayek swaying to an upbeat tune in a white bathrobe while her squad laughed in the background. Her friend and director Sam Speranza too is seen dancing to the beat. Hayek posted the video on her account @salmahayek with the caption:

"24 million followers, 24 million reasons to smile. Thank you all for joining me on this wild ride! I cannot contain my excitement & gratitude P.s. happy birthday @samanthalopezs"

Amidst the celebratory dance, her robe frequently fell open and the 56-year-old star was forced to censor and blur out parts of the video. In the past, the House of Gucci star has never shied away from flaunting her body and experimenting in fashion.

As the post went viral, internet users joined in on the fun by congratulating the Latina actress and joked about getting an "uncut, uncensored version" of the clip.
