Shortly after Salma Hayek proudly embraced her white hair in a vacation swimsuit snap, the actress celebrated turning 58 with a “birthday bikini roundup.” Vacation selfies are a staple post for the star, so it only makes sense that she marked the special occasion with the best of the best.
All of the snaps featured Hayek on a yacht lounging, captaining, and sunbathing in various swimwear, some joined by stunning sunsets. They may have even been taken on her most recent vacation because, in the caption, she specifically noted that, “p.s. none of these are throwbacks.”
That disclaimer is likely a reference to the fact that Hayek posts swimsuit photos year-round, and not all of them are shared in real time. “[Followers are] going to think I’m wearing a bikini every day. No, they’re all from the same location,” she told Entertainment Tonight in 2021. She added that she finds the process of posing and sharing “liberating.” “I’m glad I took a lot of pictures, I have no shame on it,” she said.
That’s clearly still the case—and fans enjoy the photos just as much as she does. They showered her post with love and congratulations. “Happy birthday hermana! ❤️❤️❤️🎂🎂,” one person commented. “58 couldn’t look better. Happy birthday mama ❤️,” another added. “Happy birthday you stunning creature,” someone else wrote.
To Hayek’s surprise, she has come to know aging as “beautiful,” she told Glamour in February 2023. She thought “everything” would have been different about the process. “I thought getting older meant I wasn’t going to work; I’m working,” she said. “I thought getting older maybe meant that you’re not in love anymore; I’m in love. I don’t feel that I lost my flexibility or my agility or even my strength. I do have to say that I have found it beautiful, getting older with someone.”
And, so far, she hasn’t turned to cosmetic procedures like Botox to maintain her youth—instead, she is faithful to micro current devices and meditation. “Just the meditation itself …sometimes when I’m doing it, people tell me when I come out of the room, ‘Oh my God, you look 20 years old,’” she told Kelly Ripa on her Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast last year. And what fine lines Hayek does have, she happily shows off—for instance, in a close-up, rolled-out-of-bed selfie like the one she shared in June 2023, which she captioned: “Me waking up and counting how many white hairs and wrinkles have crashed the party this morning.”
From swimsuit shots to candid makeup-free selfies, we can always count on Hayek to keep it real. We hope she had a happy birthday!
