Married to Royalty...Fashion Royalty

 


I was cleaning out my lovely studio apartment and one of my favorite cleaning rituals is to peruse  my many magazines and decide which one's are worthy to keep around and collect dust a little bit longer. One of my favorite InStyle magazine's of 2010 was the June issue of InStyle with Salma Hayek on the cover. While everyone, including myself is still breaking down every bit and piece of Kate and Will's wedding, I can't help but think about Salma now being a fashion princess.

For those of you who aren't following me let me break it down. Salma Hayek, now Salma Hayek Pinault, married the father of her baby Francois-Henri Pinault. He is the CEO of the French multinaiotnal holding company PPR. Some of my favorite subsidiaries are of PPR are lie within the The Gucci Group (Gucci, Bottega Veneta, YSL, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Sergio Rossi, Stella McCartnery) and even they even own sites like OneStopPlus.com (thick chicks like me know about this one.) These are just some of my favorite brands that her hubby is in charge of. She married into Fashion Royalty. Now don't get me wrong Salma had a great fashion sense before she got married but B's song "Let Me Upgrade You," could be from Francois to Salma.

Salma and her BFF, Penelope Cruz, have always been ranked on the top of the best dressed list but marrying fashion tycoon will certainly keep you there for a very long time to come. I'm sure Penelope is getting some best friend kickbacks from the brand as well. It's no surprise Penelope Cruz and her husband Javiar Bardem both wore Gucci to Salma's wedding.

I don't think anyone can deny the new upscale fashion style Mrs. Pinault has been rocking these days. Can you just imagine being the one who gets to see samples and designs first.  The access alone she has to these brands and many more is any fashionistas dream come true. This is the one time as a fashionista feminst, I would say go ahead and take that man's last name. Check our this Alexander McQueen piece in black with the gold shoulder treatment. As much as JHud and Kim K are friends in my head and might be considered more relevant than Salma right now they still rocked their pieces months after Salma had access.

The truth is.. if I had the option of Francois or Will. My prince would be in Paris at the PPR headquarters. Besides, I already speak English and need to brush up on my French anyhow.

Who would you marry? Francois or Will.
