Movie star: Salma Hayek, 51, stunned as she posed on the red carpet at an awards gala for the Palm Springs International Film Festival Film Tuesday

The Desperado star had a pink bow around her waist with her shoulder-length jet black locks parted and down, accessorizing with beaded white earrings.

The mother-of-one, who’s married to billionaire businessman Francois-Henri Pinault, took to Instagram Tuesday, revealing her role at the fancy event.

‘Off to the Palm Springs Film Festival @psfilmfest Gala to present the #Vanguard award to my friend Guillermo Del Toro and the wonderful cast, producer & composer of #TheShapeOfWater,’ the 5ft2 stunner wrote in a caption.

The Mexico-born star also posed on the red carpet alongside her friend Mary J. Blige, 46. The singer-turned-actress wore a long-sleeved, baby blue lace gown with an elongated bow down the front, accessorizing with diamond earrings with her blonde mane parted on the right.

The performers had a chat for Variety’s Actors on Actors in November, in which Blige revealed to Hayek how one of her breakout performances impacted her personally.

‘I have to share this with you,’ Blige told Hayek. ‘I saw you in a movie called From Dusk Till Dawn. And I was like, “Oh, my God, this woman’s body is my inspiration.”

Mary continued, ‘You are one of my inspirations for being in the gym every day. I’ve been training like a maniac since then.’

The How To Be a Latin Lover star remains inspirational on a number of levels, as on Tuesday, she endorsed on Instagram the endeavor known as Time’s Up, a coalition of  300 female entertainment industry professionals seeking to combat 𝑠e𝑥ual abuse and harassment in show business.

Notable members in the initiative include Eva Longoria, Natalie Portman, Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon.

Her endorsement comes on the heels of ‘Harvey Weinstein Is My Monster Too,’ a powerful piece she contributed to The New York Times last month about her horrific experiences with the disgraced Hollywood producer, who she said abused his power on various projects they had worked on, and had repeatedly 𝑠e𝑥ually harassed her. She wrote of Weinstein: ‘In his eyes, I was not an artist. I wasn’t even a person. I was a thing: not a nobody, but a body.’
