Salma Hayek brought some flower power to the press conference for her new animated feature film.
The Mexican-American actress posed for photographers next to a poster for The Prophet wearing a blue, white and black floral-print dress featuring a cross-strap back and knee-length skirt.
Salma opted for a glossy curled hairdo and towering black heels to complete her chic ensemble.
Salma made a pilgrimage to Bcharre, Lebanon on the day before on Sunday.
The sophisticated brunette visited the Khalil Gibran museum which is dedicated to the poet’s legacy and whose collection of works is the basis for her new film.
Salma, 48, dressed up for the occasion in a bright floral top and peplum skirt as she promoted The Prophet, which she produced and took a lead role in.
Salma – who has Mexican and Lebanese heritage from her parents – immersed herself in the experience, meeting a Lebanese Member of Parliament and receiving a guided tour of the museum.
During her visit, the actress dipped her toe into a fountain beside a statue of late writer Gibran and even paid homage to him when she sung the Mexican national anthem outside the museum.
Salma, whose new animated tribute is slated for US release in August 2015, was introduced to politician Sethrida Geagea, who bore a striking resemblance to her.
The Prophet will serve as Salma’s fifth time in a producer capacity after films such as Frida and The Maldonado Miracle, as well as producing episodes of Ugly Betty, in which she also played a small part between 2006 and 2007.
The film is an adaptation of Gibran’s 1923 collection of 26 prose poetry essays by the Lebanese artist, philosopher and writer.
Salma lends her voice to the character of Kamila, while Taken actor Liam Neeson will voice Mustafa and John Krasinski is Halim.
The book, which Salma says is ‘about the courage to speak up, to believe you are worth being listened to,’ has already sold 100m copies worldwide, despite receiving little publicity.
Salma told The Guardian’s G2 magazine recently: ‘It’s not a religious book, it’s poetic and philosophical.
‘It’s a book written by an Arabic man,’ she continued. ‘Which unites all religions. That itself I think is important.’
Gibran is still widely regarded as one of the world’s best selling poets.
The manuscripts, original paintings, furniture, personal belongings and private library were recovered from his New York studio in 1932 to be displayed in the Bsharreh museum of his native town.
Its popularity peaked in the 1930s and again in the 1960s when it became the bible of the counter culture.
On Saturday, Salma visited an informal Syrian refugee camp in Lebanon’s eastern Bekaa Valley.
She was there on behalf of Unicef to raise funds for Syrian refugees and see the children currently living in poor conditions and lacking food.
Salma looked visibly upset as she hugged a young child and a baby during her visit.
