Mexican-American actress Salma Hayek became the 2,709th celebrity to receive a star on the iconic walkway at a special ceremony outside of the TCL Chinese Theatre.
Hayek was joined by her 14-year-old daughter Valentina and her husband, François-Henri Pinault, in Los Angeles to celebrate the momentous moment in her career.
Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti, Oscar-winning director Chloé Zhao, and actor Adam Sandler had also attended the celebration.
The actress announced the news on Instagram alongside sharing several photos from the ceremony.
"There it is!!! We’re all made of stardust #grateful @hwdwalkoffame @imagerybyoscar @stargirl_stuff," she captioned.

During her acceptance speech, Hayek opened up on racism both in both public and professional settings and the struggles that she faced at the beginning of her career in the 1990s.
She spoke about a scary incident in Hollywood where she was nearly stabbed by a stranger.
The actress stated that a poor man who was on the floor and was very messed up had attempted to attack her after she ignored his catcall while showing a friend around the area.
She added that a pair of gentlemen from the Hells Angels stopped the man and escorted the women to their car.
Hayek also encouraged others to "find something to love" as much as she has loved cinema over the years.
The actress was recently seen in star-studded movies "The Eternals" and "The House of Gucci".
