Salma was sensational in all black with gold jewelry
One photo shows Valentina in the backseat of a car with playful cat face paint, while another features her grinning with plastic fangs. A third captures her adventurous side as she climbs a tree.
‘My baby last birthday at home (for now) Im already having separation anxiety she makes me laugh all day, teaches me so many things, keeps me motivated, inspires in so many ways makes me want to dance sing and cook and makes life so exciting I love you sooooooooo much mi Vale,’ Salma captioned the post.
The mother-daughter duo share a close bond, with Valentina expressing her desire to follow in her Oscar-nominated mother’s footsteps.
‘I want different things, but I almost always move between four,’ she told Vogue Mexico in 2023. ‘I would like to be an actress and then a director because that is what makes sense in my head.’
She continued: ‘Also, I think it must be more difficult to be a director if you don’t have experience on the other side of the screen, that could help directing.’

The actress, who is also stepmother to Pinault’s children Mathilde, François, and Augustin, has often had Valentina by her side at red carpet events and premieres, including glamorous occasions like the Oscars.
In 2022, the duo took their bond to the next level, gracing the pages of Vogue MExco together for a special feature.
Salma and François-Henri, who married in 2009, recently appeared on The Sunday Times Rich List for 2024 with a combined net worth of approximately $7.7 billion.
Their fortune has decreased from around $10.1 billion in 2023, causing their rank to drop from 21st to 31st on the list.
Pinault has served as the chairman and CEO of Kering since 2005, while Salma Hayek’s personal net worth is estimated to exceed $125 million, thanks to her successful film career and lucrative beauty and fashion endorsements.
Before meeting Salma, François-Henri had been previously married to Dorothée Lepère, with whom he shares two children, François and Mathilde.
He also had a brief relationship with supermodel Linda Evangelista, with whom he has a son, Augustin.

The mother-daughter duo looked adorable in the throwbacks
Salma, on the other hand, was romantically linked to actor Edward Norton.
The birthday celebration also comes after Salma revealed one of the last thoughts she had when she believed she was going to die in a plane crash with her pal Penelope Cruz.
Salma and fellow Hollywood star Penelope, 50, who have been friends for more than 20 years, had a terrifying experience when their plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Mexico.
Penelope already had a fear of flying and the pair realised something had gone wrong when a member of the crew dashed out of the cockpit and put on an oxygen mask.
During an interview for Vogue Arabia, Penelope asked Salma what she had learned from the hair-raising experience.
Salma told her: ‘You’ve always had a fear of flying and you always give me instructions of what to do if you die in a crash!.
‘I want different things, but I almost always move between four,’ she told Vogue Mexico in 2023. ‘I would like to be an actress and then a director because that is what makes sense in my head’
‘That day we were together on a flight and the plane had an emergency and had to land in the middle of nowhere in Mexico.’
‘I knew it was going to happen because I saw the flight attendant coming out of the cockpit and grabbing oxygen.
‘So, I took your hands and said to you that we’re going to be OK. There is something wrong with the plane, but I need you to calm down. And I was so proud of you because I could see you struggling to calm yourself down.’
‘We could do a whole movie about this! And then you said something so beautiful that I will never forget. You said, “I thought maybe we were going to die. But we were going to die together. And we were going to be OK”.’
