Salma Hayek and her billionaire husband François-Henri Pinault were two of the more than 1,500 guests who attended the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral on Saturday, more than five years after a fire destroyed its iconic tower.

Hayek and Pinault joined an impressive list of international figures at the ceremony in Paris, including President-elect Donald Trump, First Lady Jill Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, Britain’s Prince William and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

In 2019, Pinault’s family company, French luxury conglomerate Kering, which owns famous fashion brands such as Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga, pledged $113 million to help rebuild the 850-year-old church.
