She starred in 2020 comedy Like a Boss, and that phrase could also describe Salma Hayek's approach to red-carpet dressing.

The Mexican actress, whose father hails from Lebanon, is known for her bold approach at awards ceremonies and premieres, with the 53-year-old never afraid to shy away from vibrant colours and structured silhouettes.

Hayek, who was nominated for an Oscar for her 2002 portrayal of artist Frida Kahlo, is also happy to keep it simple at times, with an array of sleek LBDs in her wardrobe.

The actress and producer wed Francois-Henri Pinault, chief executive of luxury group Kering, in 2009, meaning the star often has a wealth of just-off-the-catwalk looks at her fingertips.

While she often turns to perennial favourite Gucci on the red carpet, Hayek is also known to dip into the collections of Saint Laurent, Stella McCartney and Bottega Veneta.

However, the actress, who rose to fame in the 1990s with roles in From Dusk till Dawn and Desperado, hasn't always had such an A-list touch to her dressing. Hayek fell victim to the distressed jeans and embellished blouses of the early Noughties, just like the rest of us.

Here, we take a look back through her red carpet retrospective to see how the actress's style has evolved in the past two decades.

Salah in numbers

€39 million: Liverpool agreed a fee, including add-ons, in the region of 39m (nearly Dh176m) to sign Salah from Roma last year. The exchange rate at the time meant that cost the Reds £34.3m - a bargain given his performances since.

13: The 25-year-old player was not a complete stranger to the Premier League when he arrived at Liverpool this summer. However, during his previous stint at Chelsea, he made just 13 Premier League appearances, seven of which were off the bench, and scored only twice.

57: It was in the 57th minute of his Liverpool bow when Salah opened his account for the Reds in the 3-3 draw with Watford back in August. The Egyptian prodded the ball over the line from close range after latching onto Roberto Firmino's attempted lob.

7: Salah's best scoring streak of the season occurred between an FA Cup tie against West Brom on January 27 and a Premier League win over Newcastle on March 3. He scored for seven games running in all competitions and struck twice against Tottenham.

3: This season Salah became the first player in Premier League history to win the player of the month award three times during a term. He was voted as the division's best player in November, February and March.

40: Salah joined Roger Hunt and Ian Rush as the only players in Liverpool's history to have scored 40 times in a single season when he headed home against Bournemouth at Anfield earlier this month.

30: The goal against Bournemouth ensured the Egyptian achieved another milestone in becoming the first African player to score 30 times across one Premier League campaign.

8: As well as his fine form in England, Salah has also scored eight times in the tournament phase of this season's Champions League. Only Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, with 15 to his credit, has found the net more often in the group stages and knockout rounds of Europe's premier club competition.
