Salma Hayek just won the St. Patrick's Day race hands-down, all velvet green goddess and smoldering on Instagram. The 54-year-old actress, known for celebrating the platform's trending hashtags, today marked Irish-themed St. Patrick's Day with a fully-traditional, all-green look, one that took fans down the throwback route and definitely flew the flag for the annual calendar date's color. Posting in a look once donned for Paris Fashion Week, the "Frida" star made it 2021-appropriate, and fans are loving it. See why below.

Scroll for the photo, one that dates back to 2015 when Hayek graced the Yves Saint Laurent Fashion Show and made headlines for wearing the same shade of green as former Vogue editor Anna Wintour. Posting for her 17.6 million followers today, Salma updated in deep emerald green, opting out of a cleavage flash, but nonetheless stunning fans with her look.
Wearing a high-cut, long-sleeved, and super-luxurious-looking velvet dress, the Mexican exuded regal vibes, with Hayek also sporting quite the bling bling necklace in diamonds.

Salma, who also wore a smokey green eyeshadow to match her dress, sported dark locks swept back, earrings, and it was all cheekbones from the MCU face as she wrote: "Happy St Patrick's Day" with a green clover emoji and the day's hashtag.
60,000+ likes poured in before the post was 40 minutes old. Nothing new for the star who has gained 600,000 new followers since hitting 17 million earlier this year. "Great'yyy," one fan replied, with fans from Ireland quick to reply with best wishes.

Salma's shot today comes breaking up far racier snaps, ones that have brought major bikini action in 2021, plus the curvy star confirming she actually feels liberated by her swimwear snaps.
"I saved my pictures, I'm not in the same condition today and I'm spreading the love out like every two weeks," she told ET. "I'm going to put up another one. I’m almost running out of them but I don't know if you have that feeling, like, 2021!" See the dripping-wet bikini after the shot!

Salma, whose vacation photos never came with a location disclosed, even joked about quarantine weight, admitting she batch posts her thirst traps.
"I had to lose a lot of weight and exercise to get into the bikini towards the end of last year," she added: "I'm glad I took a lot of pictures, I have no shame on it, because it was the first week of the vacation."
Hayek has since been forced to defend her marriage to billionaire François-Henri Pinault. See the bikini pic that launched the storm.
