I’ve finally uploaded 215 photos from the 2008 Crystal + Lucy Awards, “A Black And White Gala”, which was held on June 17th in Beverly Hills. Salma Hayek looked absolutely fantastic as she walked down the red carpet, and later, got honored at the event. Below are a few tidbits from the event.

“I’m 41 now, and I have to say, it is the best time in my life.” That prompted Jada Pinkett Smith – who was also being recognized, along with her costars from the upcoming chick flick, The Women – to shout out, “You look good!”

“I have learned to enjoy time to be a woman. I have learned to enjoy how to do the most that I can with what I have,” the Ugly Betty producer explained. “It is a good thing to be a 41-year-old Latina woman in America.”

She also gave a shout out to fellow Latina Eva Mendes (another star of The Women), who responded with a loud, “I love you, Salma!”
