Salma Hayek celebrated her 59th birthday with a bold Instagram post featuring her in a red bikini on a boat with a sunset backdrop. The photo, shared on the actress’s social media page, shows her holding up a drink and is seemingly giving a toast to the occasion. Her caption expressed gratitude for her fans’ love, writing, “5.9 trips around the sun and still dancing ☀️💃🏻 cheers to all of you & thank you for the love 🎂🎉♥️.” The post quickly gained attention, with many celebrities and fans leaving messages of support and congratulations.
Among the first to respond were Julianne Moore, who wrote, “Happy birthday!!” and Anthony Hopkins, who added, “Happy birthday ♥️ We love you.” Other celebrities, including Naomi Watts and Juliette Lewis, also chimed in, offering their well-wishes. Fans of the actress also took to the comments, with some expressing admiration and humor, including a joke about her age. This Instagram post, similar to her previous birthday celebrations, continues to showcase her confidence and presence in the entertainment industry.
Hayek, known for her role in the cult classic ‘From Dusk Till Dawn,’ has previously marked her birthdays in similar fashion. She celebrated her 56th birthday with a red bikini photo, sharing a video of herself dancing on a boat. Her love for bikinis has also extended to her fashion choices, including a feature on the 2025 cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. Despite initially hesitating to participate in the shoot, Hayek expressed excitement about the opportunity, noting that she had never imagined being on the cover of the magazine, especially at 58. She mentioned that when she was younger, she often looked to the magazine for inspiration, never thinking she could be a part of it.
Hayek also shared her thoughts on aging gracefully, having posted a makeup-free selfie in June 2023 that displayed a few strands of gray hair and forehead wrinkles. She captioned the post with a humorous take on her own appearance, writing, “Me waking up and counting how many white hairs and wrinkles have crashed the party this morning.” This candid post, along with her recent birthday celebrations, underscores her ongoing connection with her fans and her willingness to embrace her age and appearance with confidence.
