She's a natural beauty with an enviably curvacious figure, but Salma Hayek kept her womanly figure well and truly hidden under wraps tonight.
The Mexican actress attended the UK premiere for Puss In Boots at the Empire in Leicester Square, opting for masculine chic over A-list glamour.
Dressed in a suit, waistcoat and jacket, the 45-year-old channelled her androgynous streak by emulating the opposite sex and keeping every inch of flesh covered.
