Newlywed Salma Hayek is front and center in Gucci on InStyle’s April 2009 cover, showing off her curves in the mag’s “color issue.”

“Any color can look beautiful on you,” the 42-year-old actress says. “It’s like a relationship. You just have to embrace it and work with it… When you’re petite, what color you wear doesn’t matter so much but big prints are probably not the best idea.”

Of her 17-month-old daughter Valentina Paloma, Salma says, “She’s a little dictator! (laughs) She is unique, magical–definitely the most colorful person I’ve ever met. I feel so connected to her, but at the same time, we are completely different. I discover something new about her every day.”

On Friday (March 13), Salma and husband Francois-Henri Pinault took Valentina to the Chris McMillan salon. The day before, Pinault was seen showering Valentina with kisses at Westfield Century City Shopping Center. 10+ pictures inside….
