Salma included photos of herself with singer Selena Gomez, pop star Becky G, model Camila Morrone and actresses Jenna Ortega, Penelope Cruz, Sofia Vergara, Jessica Alba, Eva Mendes, Zoe Saldana and Eiza Gonzalez.
It came just two weeks after she fell out with 57-year-old Nicole.
The two ladies were standing in front of photographers with Katy Perry, 39, when they started arguing.
The apparent disagreement seemed to stem from the Frieda alum, whose fashion mogul husband François-Henri Pinault owns Balenciaga, attempting to send brand ambassador Nicole to the cameras.
Salma put her hand on the Australian actress’ shoulder and tried to turn her body towards the press – but Nicole was having none of it and seemed to slap her hand away.
One witness claimed that Nicole then firmly told Salma, “Don’t touch me.”
Nicole then started talking to Katy and gave her a kiss on the cheek – before turning back to Salma to share some more tense words.
The blonde beauty appeared to give the mother-of-one a hand wave signaling ‘stop’ and pointed her finger at her, before eventually walking away.

Body language expert Judi James told DailyMail.com afterwards that she believed the awkward altercation came down to an ‘etiquette issue’.
“The Paris Fashion Week shows are a hot combination of rarefied, super-A-list appeal and the sweaty lower levels of a rugby srum,” she explained.
‘Maintaining your dignity and maintaining impeccable elegance while being jostled and waited for what can often be hours are necessary skills, and Nicole here offers what seems like a masterclass in protecting A-list parameters and status signals against all odds.
“This body language seems like a matter of subliminal etiquette, based on fashion house ‘rules’ that may be as complex as the Da Vinci Code.”

She added that Salma trying to get Nicole to look at the cameras may have come across as “directive” or “a little superior.”
“Nicole appears to push the hand away, suggesting that the simulated touch violates some kind of silent etiquette, as in a possible ‘I choose when I go or where I move to,’” she analyzed.
She turns and kisses Katy, leaving Salma stunned. There seem to be some clues that could look like a small flashpoint before Nicole walks in the other direction.
“Anyone who has seen The Devil Wears Prada should know that perhaps the body language of high fashion events should not be judged on normally earthly levels.”
