    The Big Little Lies star then greeted Katy Perry before turning back toward Salma. She quickly said something and then walked away.

    As speculation over their exchange ran rampant, experts have been trying to decode the whispered words and gestures that were passed between the actresses.

    UK-based expert witness and forensic lip reader Jeremy Freeman told Page Six that he believes Salma said, “Let’s turn there, OK, here.”

    “Hey, I’m fine, I’m good. There, it’s enough, it’s OK,” the Australian actress is believed to have told the fellow Hollywood leading lady, per Jeremy.

    “We have to…,” Salma then said, before adding, “That’s fine, that’s fine” as she joined the Firework singer to pose for the cameras, according to the lip reader.

    Other clips from the show captured the veteran actresses having normal, friendly interactions with each other.

    A source present at the event told People that “nothing happened.”

    “They were being bombarded by cameras at the end of the show while in the middle of a conversation,” the insider said. “People are looking at clips and making a story out of nothing.”

    A source close to the stars also told the outlet, “This whole situation is silly. Salma and Nicole love and respect each other.”

    During the show, Nicole was seated next to French billionaire François-Henri Pinault, who is not only Salma’s husband but also the CEO of the global luxury group Kering, which owns brands like Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, and Gucci.

    The Moulin Rouge! Actress became Balenciaga’s ambassador last December and said she was “excited” to work with the fashion house.

    “I’m excited to work with Balenciaga as an ambassador and look forward to creating more memories together,” she added.

    Bored Panda has contacted Nicole and Salma’s reps for a statement on the viral exchange. Salma’s representatives declined to issue a public comment.
