Salma, Francois, and Valentina Kick Off Wedding Weekend in Masks

Fri, 04/24/2009 - 2:34pm

Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault kicked off their wedding weekend with a masked gala on Friday night in Venice for all their guests. Celebrity attendees include Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend, as well as Edward Norton, Woody Harrelson, Antonio Banderas, Melanie Griffith, Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem, Ashley Judd, and more (Gael Garcia Bernal, Zhang Ziyi, Valeria Golino, Francois Mitterand, Jacques Chirac, Bernadette Chirac, Skin, Riccardo Scamarcio, Stella McCartney, Emir Kusturica, Frida Giannini, Lily Cole, Enrique Murciano). Salma and Francois-Henri's daughter Valentina got to join in the festivities, carried into the awaiting gondolas in the arms of her smiling father. What an amazing way to welcome guests to their wedding — hopefully the bride and groom can focus on the party because the official ceremony part was all the way back on Valentine's Day.
