We're totally blushing over this mother-daughter duo. 

Before the 2023 Oscars kicked off March 12, Salma Hayek, 56, stepped onto the red carpet with a very special guest. The "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" star chose to invite daughter Valentina Paloma Pinault, 15, as her plus one for the biggest award show of the year. 

The pair proved to be the perfect match as they wore coordinating red looks at the Dolby Theatre. 

Hayek opted for a sparking Gucci dress styled by Rebecca Corbin-Murray while her daughter with husband François-Henri Pinault opted for a strapless red gown with a tulle bottom.

The legendary actress was in attendance as her movie "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" was nominated for Best Animated Feature Film. Ultimately, Guillermo del Toro's "Pinocchio" took home the trophy in one of the show's first awards of the night.

But just because Hayel's movie didn't win big, doesn't mean she wasn't going to have a fabulous night with her daughter.

While at the Dolby Theater, the pair was spotted posing for photos with Pedro Pascal and his sister Javiera Balmaceda.

In other words, someone is about to have a pretty cool school night.

Salma Hayek was joined by her daughter Valentina for the Marvel "Eternals" red carpet. She spoke to Access Hollywood's Sibley Scoles about playing her role of Ajak who was written as a man in the comics, "It hit me really hard and I nearly cried and I have to hold it, I saw a whole family of Latinas dressed as Ajak…" She also explained the importance of having such a diverse film, "I really wanted my daughter to see this and be a part of this." "Eternals" is out in theaters on Nov. 5.
