Salma Hayek Pinault celebrated her 59th birthday in style, treating fans to a birthday wish Instagram post that showed off her signature blend of glamour and self-assurance.
On Tuesday, Sept. 2, Oscar-nominated actress Salma Hayek posted a picture of herself feeling the ocean air on a boat. Wearing a bold red bikini with ruching details, Hayek toasted with a matching cocktail, her blazing outfit mirroring the warm orange tones of the fading sun behind her.
59 orbits around the sun and still dancing ☀️????????. Toasts to all of you & thanks for the love ????????♥️,” she wrote in the post, which generated fast approbation from her celebrity friends and millions of followers.
Among those sending warm wishes was co-actor Anthony Hopkins, who wrote, “Happy birthday ♥️ We love you.” Comedian Chelsea Handler included her good wishes, while supermodel Linda Evangelista splashed the post with party emojis.
Birthday photo keeps Hayek’s run of head-turning appearances going. Just a few weeks ago, she was on the cover of Sports Illustrated Mexico Swimsuit 2025, becoming the oldest cover model for the magazine and making headlines. In an interview on Today in May, the actress announced that being selected for the cover was a “shocking” surprise she never anticipated.
I recall when I was young and sexy, I would glance at this magazine,” she stated. “I would look to see who the new stunning model, the new girl of the moment, was. And it did not even occur to me that I might be on that cover because they did not resemble me.
She complemented that her figure never conformed to the classic model image, so the award at 58 was all the more significant. To mark the release of the issue in July, Hayek shared a seductive Instagram reel dancing along to Bad Bunny’s “Baile INOLVIDABLE,” continuing to demonstrate her playful spirit and ageless charm.
Hayek, who has been unapologetic about aging well, still breaks stereotypes in Hollywood. From magazine covers, movie sets, to social media, she has become known for embracing her heritage, her figure, and her milestone events with unashamed confidence.
Her 59th birthday post not only showcased her effortless glamour but also reminded the public of the star’s lasting impact in both the movie industry and fashion. Followers all over the world participated in the virtual toast, making the moment another memorable milestone in Hayek’s illustrious career.
