Salma Hayek has a great video for any occasion. Earlier this year, she celebrated one of her most controversial and discussed films, made alongside a cast that includes Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Chris Rock, and more.
The clip she shared is from the film “Dogma,” where she played a character named Serenity. In the clip, she strips and dances along to the song “Candy Girl,” by the New Editions, wearing pink lingerie. Making her outfit all the more memorable were her pigtails and her thick-rimmed glasses.
It’s one of Hayek’s most memorable early performances, looking stunning and showing why she was one of the main heartthrobs in the ’90s. The clip was shared to commemorate the film’s 25th anniversary.
“It’s been 25 years since Dogma hit theatres – and what a wild, unforgettable ride it was,” wrote Hayek in the caption.

Grateful to Kevin Smith for this one-of-a-kind film, and to my brilliant co-stars – Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Chris Rock, and the irreplaceable Alan Rickman. From yesterday, Dogma is back on the big screen for a limited time… and I still can’t believe I was part of something so bold.”
The clip attracted all sorts of responses from people, including director Kevin Smith, who thanked her for the sweet tribute. “Bless you, Muse! Thanks for helping me make my dopey dream come true a quarter century ago!” he wrote.
Vanessa Hudgens also shared her approval, writing, “Icon.”
More details about ‘Dogma’
“Dogma” is one of Kevin Smith’s most popular films, starring Damon and Affleck as the fallen angels Loki and Bartleby, who are on a quest to return to heaven after falling to Jersey.
In a recent interview, Smith discussed the film and revealed that he was toying with the idea of a sequel. “The kid who made this movie, this was his expression of faith,” said Smith to PEOPLE. “This was his idea of church. Like, imagine if church was this fun as opposed to when we go to church every week, and it sounds like we’re celebrating our faith instead of mourning it.”
