Recently separated Salma Hayek shops at erotic bondage boutique

Newly single Salma Hayek has been consoling herself with a spot of shopping - of a distinctly sexual nature.

The Ugly Betty star indulged herself at erotic boutique Coco de mer, which stocks luxury bondage gear, designer sex aids and risqué underwear.

Her assistant carried the 41-year-old star's purchases, packed in a tissue-lined bag emblazoned with the stores' logo.

The store was set up by Sam Roddick, daughter of Body Shop founder Anita Roddick, and states its philosophy as being ' unashamedly about sex'.

On the website shoppers can buy everything from leather corsets, costing up to £800, to erotic sculptures for the home.

Salma looked slim and stylish, dressed in a printed dress and open-toe heels, as she visited the store on the hip Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles.

Just three weeks ago the actress and billionaire Frenchman François-Henri Pinault announced they had called off their engagement - because of the 5,700 mile gulf between them.

While Salma's lived in Los Angeles with the couple's 11-month-old daughter, Valentina Paloma, her partner was living in Paris.

They issued a joint statement saying this had made their relationship unworkable.

The 45-year-old businessman owns Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga, among numerous other luxury brands and Salma is now expected to benefit from a multi-million pound settlement.
