    Nicole moved the Mexico-born actress’s hand away before going on to greet pop diva Katy.

    The Big Little Lies star then turned back towards Salma and appeared to have a heated exchange with the fellow Hollywood heavyweight.

    The Moulin Rouge! actress walked away, leaving Salma alone to pose with the Firework singer.

    Some reports and social media posts alleged that Nicole said “don’t touch me” during their interaction.

    The eyebrow-raising moment quickly went viral online.

    “That was so awkward,” one social media commented while another said, “Oh god, you could cut the tension with a knife. Why is Nicole being so rude?”

    “Love Nicole’s attitude, she does her own thing,” one commenter said

    One fan on Reddit came to Nicole’s defense, pointing out that she had just lost her mother the same month.

    “I get that Salma was probably trying to direct her to pose for the cameras, but some people don’t like to be touched regardless of the situation, and you just gotta respect that,” they said.

    The Mexico-born actress later shared pictures from the glamorous show, including one with the Moulin Rouge! star

    Others on social media weren’t too kind towards Nicole, with one saying, “Nicole seems drunk or high.”

    One went as far as to say, “Nicole is jealous of Salma.”

    Another video shared online captured the two stars at the very same event, having a conversation with each other and happily posing for photos together.

    While the luxury brand’s show was going on, Nicole was seated next to French billionaire François-Henri Pinault, who is Salma’s husband and also the CEO of the global luxury group Kering, which owns brands like Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, and Gucci.

    Following the glamorous show, Salma took to Instagram and posted a series of photos from the night, which included one where she posed with the Lion actress.

    Bored Panda contacted Nicole and Salma’s reps for a statement. Salma’s representatives declined to issue a public comment
