Salma Hayek says dresses always make her look good quickly because she finds it easy to put the look together.

Salma Hayek says dresses always make her look good quickly.

The 45-year-old actress was praised for her sense of style by good friend Demi Moore, but the 'Puss in Boots' star told her pal she finds it easier to pick out one garment rather than put together a whole outfit.

She said: "I was having dinner with my friend Demi - yes, that one - and she said, 'Oh, my God! Every time I see you, you are so put together!' And I told her it's a lot easier to grab a fabulous little dress than to put together a whole casual outfit with jeans, a top, the right jacket, and great shoes. You slip on a dress and you can't go wrong."

Salma - who has a four-year-old daughter Valentina with husband Francois-Henri Pinault - also admitted that if she is in a bad mood, she heads to a beauty salon or goes shopping for new products.

She told Redbook magazine: "Get a pedicure, and if that isn't working, go get a wax job! Sometimes a new lipstick just helps. Beauty products always cheer me up and give me hope. If it makes you feel pretty, why not?"
