These New Salma Hayek Photos for ELLE Include a Peek at One Beloved Family Member

Sometimes the best accessories aren’t the jewelry, or the handbags and purses — sometimes, they’re the extra loved one who takes the photo with you. And in Salma Hayek’s case, her four-legged family member got to feel super glamorous during the actress’ photo shoot with Elle for their Women in Hollywood issue. The Eternals star took the best photo with her pup and opened up about how validating it felt to be included in the upcoming Marvel film.

The second photo for Elle‘s spread, however, features the star wearing a Bottega Veneta black, one-sleeve dress with Pomellato jewels and her pooch posing alongside her. Have you ever seen a dog work the camera like this?
