Salma Hayek Pinault Donates Cannes Couture to Haiti

By Simone Hilliard

Salma followed up her European week of red carpet reds by donating the first-ever Gucci Première collection couture to Penelope Cruz's auction, benefitting the J/P Haitian Relief Organization.

A lucky philanthropic bidder dished out 17,000 euros (about $21,000) for the one-of-a-kind dress, along with the original sketch of the gown signed by Giannini, further cementing its status as a wearable work of art.

What a lovely gesture! Salma is certainly setting a great example for daughter, Valentina!
