Salma Hayek marked her 57th birthday with exuberance, donning a daring red string bikini while basking in the sun at the beach. On a Saturday morning, the star of "Magic Mike's Last Dance" delighted fans by sharing a series of snapshots capturing her ocean escapade and playful beachfront antics.
In her captivating slideshow, she accompanied the images with a heartfelt message: "I'm so happy to be alive and so profoundly grateful for all the blessings!!!!" She expressed her deep appreciation for her cherished family, loyal friends, good health, fulfilling work, her empowering team, her connection with animals and nature, and the unwavering love from her dedicated fans. She concluded with, "Happy 57th birthday to me!!!"
While Salma didn't disclose her birthday destination, earlier in the week, she hinted at her travels with her 15-year-old daughter, Valentina Pinault. Last month, she was spotted on vacation with her husband, François-Henri Pinault.
François-Henri Pinault serves as the chairman and CEO of the luxury conglomerate Kering, which owns esteemed fashion brands like Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Puma, and Yves Saint Laurent, among others.
Salma and François-Henri announced their engagement in 2007, and the same year, they welcomed their first child, daughter Valentina Paloma Pinault. The couple sealed their love with a Valentine's Day wedding in 2009 in Paris. Additionally, Salma is a loving stepmother to François-Henri's three children from previous relationships: son François and daughter Mathilde from his prior marriage to Dorothée Lepère, and son Augustin James Evangelista from his relationship with supermodel Linda Evangelista.
In July, during an interview on Kelly Ripa's SiriusXM podcast "Let's Talk Off Camera," Salma vehemently denied ever using Botox when asked about her flawless complexion. She shared her meditative practices, emphasizing that meditation could be enjoyable, allowing her to lose track of time.
However, Salma did admit to utilizing radio frequency and micro-frequency devices to enhance her skin's firmness and prevent pronounced wrinkles. She also revealed her unconventional method for covering gray hair: applying mascara to them.
In an earlier conversation with Glamour, the actress expressed her positive outlook on aging. She debunked the notion that getting older means the end of one's career and love, highlighting that she's still working and deeply in love. She emphasized how aging has been contrary to her expectations, noting that she has not lost her flexibility, agility, or strength.
Salma Hayek's enduring career and her continued presence in the industry past her 30s have defied conventional expectations, proving that she's still thriving. She expressed her gratitude for the ongoing opportunities and resilience in the face of challenges, remarking, "I’m still here."
