Salma Hayek, 57, wows in risky sheer navy lace dress as she joins husband François-Henri Pinault, 61, for state dinner in Paris

She is known for her classy sense of style. 

And Salma Hayek didn't tone it down as she attended a state dinner in honour of U.S. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden at the Elysee Palace in Paris on Saturday. 

The actress, 57, wowed in a rather risky sheer navy lace dress as she posed beside her husband François-Henri Pinault.

Salma cut a sophisticated figure in the lacy dress which featured a sheer bodice adorned with intricate lace detailing. 

The gown then flowed out into a floor-length skirt as she paired the look with some  brown tortoise print patterned glasses.

She completed her ensemble with a black leather clutch bag and a bold red lip as she stunned beside her husband, 61. 

The French businessman, who tied the knot with Salma in 2009, matched his wife in a plain navy suit, shirt and tie. 

The couple were joined by singer Pharrell Williams, actor Léa Seydoux and tennis great John McEnroe for the evening.

The focus of the night was to celebrates relations between France and the United States.

'France was our first ally and that's not insignificant,' said President Joe Biden to President Emmanuel Macron as they toasted each other.

'The fact of the matter is you were with us to help us secure our freedom and we were with you 170 years later to do the same. And ever since we've remained united, unyielding, as well as unwavering in our partnership.'

That was the theme of the Biden's visit, as the two leaders marked the 80th anniversary of D-Day on the beaches of Normandy this week, when Allied forces began the liberation of Europe from Nazi Germany.

The Bidens were there as guests of President Macron and first lady Brigitte Macron, who were returning the favor for their state visit to Washington in 2022.

The dinner, which was not black tie, took place in the Elysee Palace ballroom. 

Massive chandeliers hung from ceiling; French and American flags decorated the columns.

American lawmakers were well represented with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and a congressional delegation that had been in France for D-Day commemorations, including Senator Joe Manchin and Rep. Steve Scalise.

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy came with wife Carla Bruni.
