At just 14 years old, Valentina Pinault is already a Vogue cover girl.
Salma Hayek’s lookalike daughter fronts Vogue Mexico’s May 2022 issue alongside her famous mom, with both modeling matching logo looks by Gucci (whose parent company, Kering, is led by Hayek’s husband, François-Henri Pinault).
In the accompanying joint interview, which was conducted in Spanish, the duo opened up about work, their wardrobes and more.
“We fight over clothes because she takes everything from my closet,” Hayek, 55, told the magazine. “Since she was little she never let me choose her clothes, and I always liked that.”
Valentina added that she doesn’t put much stock in designer labels.
“The truth is that when it comes to clothes, I love hers, but in general I always wear what I like. I hardly notice the brand,” the teen said. “In general, I also like to combine and wear vintage pieces.”
It’s clear that Valentina has inherited her mom’s love of fashion. Back in 2019 — when she was just 11 years old — she tagged along with Hayek at Milan Fashion Week. And just last month, she and her 21-year-old stepsister, Mathilde Pinault, joined the “Frida” star in the front row at Balenciaga’s show in Paris.
While Valentina might raid her mom’s closet on occasion, she doles out beauty advice in return.
“She’s very good with makeup,” Hayek revealed. “I’m good at makeup, but now she teaches me.”
But Valentina’s not about putting on a full face: “I don’t do it to be very pretty or because I want to remove imperfections,” she said, adding that she’ll sometimes skip the concealer “because I think dark circles add something else.”
While fans can look forward to seeing the mother-daughter duo on more red carpets in the future, it sounds like Valentina might forge her own path in Hollywood, too.
“I would like to be an actress and then a director,” the teen said, adding that a career in her mom’s chosen industry “makes sense.”
