Very much in her element as she enjoyed her favorite water setting, Salma opened her duo of photos largely submerged in water as she modeled a figure-flaunting bikini on orange.

Flashing her toned legs as she folded one limb in the second snap, Salma looked totally at peace while surrounded by rocks. In a caption, the Mexican-born star wrote: "#vivamexico Cenote."
Cenotes are the underground cave systems in Mexico that are now a tourist attraction. Hayek remains fiercely proud of her Mexican heritage, but she has opened up to state that Hollywood has discriminated against her on account of being Mexican.
"Afterwards the directors told me that I was the best audition and that I was better than who they cast and that they regretted it. But at the time, they knew the studios wouldn't have gone for a Mexican as the lead," she told Variety of her audition for movie The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard.
Don't Underestimate Her 'Value'

Noting her established fame in Mexico as she attempted to break into Hollywood, Hayek continued: "In my case, I was already a very big star in my country. I was bringing the Latino market into the theatres. I know some of the studios knew that. But they didn't want to accept the value of the Latino market at the time."
Salma is now an A-Lister, adored for roles in movies including Frida and House of Gucci. As to her IG fans, they're in it for the movies, but those sizzling swimwear snaps likely don't hurt Salma's popularity.
