Salma Hayek dropped jaws with her Sports Illustrated Swim feature earlier this year. In May, the 58-year-old actress was featured by the magazine as she stripped down to an array of swimsuits, with one headline-making photo showing her topless. Freely ditching her bikini top as she got soaking wet and posed from a swimming pool, Salma flaunted her bombshell figure while just about staying safe, and the photos didn't take long to go viral. When users on X commented, they showered the House of Gucci star with love, with one amusingly referring to her as an "actual woman." In general, Salma was praised for showing off her curves for SI Swim as a woman who's approaching 60.

Scroll for all the photos. Modeling a crisp white bikini in one image, Salma displayed her signature curves while looking better than ever. The Mexico native, who was flown out to her native country for her shoot, flashed her cleavage and hourglass waistline, modeling a low-cut swimsuit that perfectly flattered her frame.
Salma went racier in another shot, though.

Dropping jaws with her glistening, soaking wet skin, Salma wrapped her arms around her bare chest as she posed in waist-deep pool waters, showing way more skin as she reminded the camera of her assets.
The MCU star rocked nothing but a teeny pair of bikini bottoms for her snap, one also showing her whipping her hair around as she turned her head to the side. Salma closed her eyes, completing her look with a snaking gemstone necklace, plus a bronzer-heavy face of makeup.

Salma didn't take long to take in comments. "She's gorgeous," one fan said. "I'm just glad it's an actual woman," another wrote, adding a laughing emoji. Salma was also told: "Age really is just a number" by a fan noting her age-defying looks. Salma is known for showing her white hairs on Instagram and has denied using Botox.
Salma tried on hundreds of bathing suits for her shoot, "Because the bathing suits never fit me, how am I gonna do this? There's nothing my size. I always suffer,'" she revealed, alongside confirming that SI Swim sent her "200" swimsuits to test out until she found one that felt just right.
