If there is one thing actor Salma Hayek knows how to do, it’s to impeccably flaunt what nature and glamor have given her during her decades in the film business. The Eternals star is often seen on red carpets and big premieres wearing stunning outfits to perfectly capture her sense of style and grace that seems effortless at times for the working actor. Now, it appears that Salma Hayek has chosen to pose for the cameras yet again, but this time she is taking her friend and fellow actor Penelope Cruz with her on a journey of twinning for the social media platform Instagram.

A set of pictures have dropped on Salma Hayek’s official Instagram account highlighting her beauty and grace in a sexy black dress alongside Penelope Cruz, who is wearing a similar set of outfits. While Hayek is quick to point out that the two are not actually twins per se, they each have similar senses of style and what looks good in front of the cameras. Both seem to be wearing incredible earrings, while Hayek can be seen with a gorgeous necklace while thanking Gucci and Chanel for their designs.

According to a report by Hello Magazine, Salma Hayek posted a series of photographs to her more than 21.7 million social media followers to show off both actors’ styles while Hayek herself demonstrated how to pull off a fur-shoulder look. Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz have been friends for years, and the two have remarked during their long careers about how each of the stunning actors considers the other their sister. Hayek seems to have a love for Cruz that runs deep, evidenced by her show of appreciation for the Oscar winning actor.

Before they demonstrated their style on social media, Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz have enjoyed lengthy and storied careers in American movies. Hayek came to the public’s attention when she co-starred with Antonio Banderas in Desperado before moving into more blockbuster roles in the Grown Ups film series starring Adam Sandler and Chris Rock. On the other hand, Cruz has primarily clung to independent features her entire career, frequently collaborating with Woody Allen and Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar, as well as modeling for luxury designers like Ralph Lauren and cosmetics company L’Oréal.

But the careers of these two powerhouse performers have not seemed to slow down recently, even after each of them has achieved international acclaim, numerous awards, and recognition from audiences for their various roles on screen. Having married French businessman Francois-Henri Pinault in 2009, Salma Hayek has chosen her next moves carefully since then, but will next be featured as one of the many voice actors in the upcoming sequel Puss in Boots: The Last Wish opposite friend Antonio Banderas. Penelope Cruz may be looking to expand her international reach in the biographical film Ferrari, which is currently filming in Italy and will star Adam Driver as motor racing driver and famed entrepreneur Enzo Ferrari alongside Cruz, Shailene Woodley, Grey’s Anatomy alum Patrick Dempsey, and British actor Jack O’Connell.
