The good - At the Palm Springs International Film Festival, the actress looked stunning in a flowing, princess-like emerald gown.

The bad - At the 75th Golden Globes Award, she opted for a sleeveless, asymmetrical black dress. This is one look she should have passed on!

The ugly - Here she opted for an 80s-style black gown with encrusted shoulder pads. It looks a little constraining.

Less is more - Sometimes simplicity can be quite elegant, and this blue dress donned by the Mexican actress proves it.

Sparkling - Sequins and metallic shades have been super popular recently. But there is a way to do it right, and this is not it.

Fashion Week - At the Gucci show for Milan Fashion Week in 2017, the Mexican star pulled off a really sophisticated look.

Classic - A chic outfit that looked stunning on the beautiful actress.

Matronly - She looks more like a Sunday School teacher than an A-list actress here.

Red, red wine - At an event by fashion designer Stella McCartney, the actress appeared to be drowning in an oversized and baggy velvet suit combo.

Floral patterns - Hayek should fire her stylist for this one.

Suited up - An improvement, but still not her best ensemble. Also, someone lend her a brush, stat!

When big hair was a thing - Loving the dress, but the hair? Not so much.

Whiteout - The year was 1998. Therefore, Hayek and the matching handbag get a pass.

Slinky - This is a bold move for the red carpet, and we're not sure it pays off...

Sleek - In 1999, Salma rocked this jumpsuit with a plunging neckline. This is much better!

Peek-a-boo - At the 2000 VH1 Music Awards, this sheer top with the huge sleeves might have been a little too much.

LBD - A little black dress is always a classic, but this outfit as a whole is kind of bland.

Heavenly - In 2002, the actress looked angelic in this silky white dress and fur coat.

Blazing in a blazer - Again, she sure knows how to rock an all-white look.

Damsel in red - This outfit at the 2003 Golden Globes may have been one of Hayek's most iconic looks.

Hot, hot, hot! - Red is clearly her color. She certainly turned heads for all the right reasons with this scarlet evening gown at the Cannes Film Festival in 2010.

Besties - In 2005, both Salma and bestie Penélope Cruz were in need of some serious fashion advice.

Trashy look - At the 2009 Vanity Fair Oscar after-party, this choice was a slight hiccup in her fashion timeline. If she was going for the garbage bag look, she nailed it.

Improvement - Hayek's fashion definitely leveled up. Here she is in 2009 with her husband, French billionaire François-Henri Pinault.

A flop - This weird, ombré dress was not her best choice. The color totally washes her out.

© Getty Images

Classy - Here she's upped the game again with a classy and refined look.

© Getty Images

A miss - In 2011, she wore this gray gown (with way too much fabric) to the Gucci Awards for Women in Cinema.

© Getty Images

Sophisticated - This incredible gown really showed off her curves.

© Getty Images

Pretty in pink - In 2015, the actress looked stellar in a lovely pink dress.

© Getty Images

Cuffs with the fur - Hayek seems to be channeling her inner mosaic at this dress she wore to the Gucci show. There's just too much going on to get behind it though.

© Getty Images

Grecian goddess - Hayek looked gorgeous in this simple black number, keeping all of the bling to one concentrated area. 

© Getty Images

Sequin sadness - This is not the way that sparkle should be done.

Smolder and sparkle -

THIS is the way that sparkle should be done!
