Apparently Salma Hayek has been in Sierra Leone doing charity work for Unicef. Very inspiring! From WWD.com:
As she slipped into her seat at Balenciaga Tuesday morning next to Francois-Henri Pinault, Salma Hayek declared: “It’s going to be a culture shock.” That’s because the actress, and mother of Pinault’s daughter Valentina, said she just arrived from Sierra Leone, where she was doing some charity work for Unicef. “I was there vaccinating and seeing the effects of the campaign,” she said, noting she has been in Europe a couple of weeks. “I’m very excited to be here at this show.”
