Thousands of fans flocked to the Palacio de los Deportes, east of Mexico City, to see Madonna, and her week in Mexico could not have ended more perfectly when, out of nowhere, Mexican actress Salma Hayek appeared on stage wearing the same clothes that characterized Frida Kahlo in her paintings.
In a traditional tehuana costume, Hayek, who starred in the 2002 biopic film “Frida” on the life of the well-known Mexican artist, wore a black corset with transparent panels and a skirt adorned with floral decorations.

When one of the most well-known and significant Mexican performers of all time appeared, the crowd erupted.
Madonna and Salma Hayek embraced warmly as they stepped onto the platform, and then, as “Vogue” played, they “rated” their dancers. Estere, one of Madonna’s daughters, was among the competitors, and Salma gave her a score of ten.

Madonna and Frida’s significance in her life
The Pop Queen discussed the significance of Frida Kahlo in her life during her week-long stay in Mexico City. She recalled visiting the Detroit Art Museum as a teenager and coming across a photo of the artist that gave her the confidence to succeed.

She said that she thought of the Mexican painter as “my soul mate, my inner muse, mother, spiritual animal, everything” after learning a little more about his life.
