Hayek celebrates wedding in Italy

Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault met in Italy in 2006.

Hollywood actress Salma Hayek has renewed her marriage vows just months after her wedding to businessman Francois-Henri Pinault.

The celebration was a weekend-long affair at Venice's La Fenice opera house with guests including U2's Bono, Penelope Cruz and Charlize Theron.

The pair originally got married in a civil ceremony in Paris on 14 February.

The festivities began with a cocktail party at an art gallery owned by the groom's father, Francois Pinault.

Other guests included actress Ashley Judd, Vogue editor Anna Wintour and former French President Jaques Chirac.

Rocky romance

Hayek and Pinault got engaged in 2007 and their daughter Valentina was born later that year.

But they called off their engagement in July 2008 - before coming back together later in the year, reportedly after a series of romantic trips to Paris.

Hayek, 42, was Oscar-nominated for portraying artist Frida Kahlo on the big screen and is an executive producer of hit US TV show Ugly Betty.

Pinault, 46, is chief executive of the French luxury and retail group PPR SA, which owns high-end labels such as Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga.
