Salma Hayek, 58, has proven age is just a number as she graces the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2025. The actress dazzles in a sparkling green bikini and Jacquie Aiche jewelry, posing wet and radiant in a pool, with the stunning photoshoot captured by Ruven Afanador in Mexico.
In an exclusive interview, Salma reflected on her journey, admitting she never imagined being featured in the iconic issue. “If somebody had told me I was gonna be in it at 58, I would have sent them to the madhouse,” she said.
She’s embracing her age, also shared her excitement about the changing perceptions of beauty, stating, “it’s exciting that a magazine like Sports Illustrated says it’s ok to be past 50 and still feel sexy.” She added that she’s not slowing down and is proud to be part of a movement that celebrates women of all ages. Salma’s message is clear: confidence and self-love are timeless, and it’s never too late to shine.
