Salma Hayek flaunts a vibrant red swimsuit in celebration of her 59th birthday.

Salma Hayek, the acclaimed actress and producer, turned 59 on September 2, and she celebrated in style. The birthday girl shared a stunning picture of herself on Instagram, donning a red bikini and posing on a yacht with a beautiful sunset in the background.

The post garnered heartfelt birthday wishes from many fans, including fellow Hollywood star Anthony Hopkins, who wrote, "Happy Birthday, we love you," and Linda Evangelista, who commented, "♥️♥️♥️♥️." Evangelista, who has a son with Hayek's husband, shared the love.

Hayek, known for her timeless beauty and radiant energy, expressed her excitement about ageing gracefully. She wrote, "59 trips around the sun and still dancing," and added that she doesn't aim to look younger, but to look good at her age.

This year, Hayek made history as the cover star for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2025, joining younger stars like LSU gymnast and influencer Livvy Dunne, Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles, and model Lauren Chan. The actress told People in April that this wasn't her initial aim, but she's thrilled about the opportunity.

Hayek shared her childhood admiration for the Swimsuit Issue of Sports Illustrated, and she admitted that if someone had told her she would be in it at 58, she would have sent them to the madhouse. However, she's now embracing this new chapter, stating that the world has changed, and it's exciting to be part of it.

Hayek believes it's remarkable that Sports Illustrated Swimsuit says it's okay to be past 50 and still feel not just sexy, but free and not self-conscious of your body. She expressed her gratitude for this affirmation, stating that she could retire, but she doesn't want to miss out on this time.

As Hayek continues to defy age and inspire women around the world, her journey serves as a testament to the power of self-love, confidence, and embracing one's age with grace. Here's to many more trips around the sun, Salma!
