Salma Hayek poses in red bikini for her birthday
Salma Hayek Pinault celebrated her 59th birthday on Tuesday, Sept. 2, 2025, with a photo shared on Instagram.
The actress posed on a yacht at sea, wearing a bright red, ruched bikini while raising a matching red drink in front of a sunset. “59 trips around the sun and still dancing, cheers to all of you & thank you for the love,” she captioned the post.
The bikini featured a bandeau-style top with ruched detailing that matched the design on her bottoms. The color of her swimsuit and drink complemented the fiery orange sunset in the background. She completed the look with dark sunglasses while sitting on a bench aboard the boat.
Her Instagram post quickly drew messages from famous friends and fans. Anthony Hopkins commented, “Happy birthday. We love you,” while Linda Evangelista added heart and balloon emojis. Chelsea Handler wrote, “Happy birthday, my dear! We’ll see you soon.”
The Without Blood star has frequently shared swimsuit images on social media. In July 2025, she appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated Mexico’s Swimsuit Issue. “My cover of @sportsillustrated.mexico is now out in Mexico with a special edition #VIVAMEXICO,” she wrote in a celebratory post at the time.
In May, Hayek reflected on the honor during an appearance on Today. “I remember when I was young and hot, I used to look at this magazine… And it never crossed my mind that I could be on that cover because they didn’t look like me,” she explained. Hayek added, “My body’s not necessarily the model type and I never thought that was a possibility. And for it to happen when I’m 58? It’s really shocking.”
Hayek told People in April that she does not aim to look younger, but to “feel good” at her age.
