“Not Necessarily The Model Type”: Salma Hayek Strips Down For Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover

The internet collected these, and it is hard to look away.

Salma Hayek Pinault made her big debut as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model at age 58. And it involved 200 swimsuits, one missing suitcase, and an appearance by a whale.

Proving that her modeling days are not yet behind her, actress spoke about nearly backing out of the photoshoot and struggling with a “very bad case of imposter syndrome.”

Fans were in love with the photoshoot, with one saying the artist “has been one of the HOTTEST Women on the Planet for the last THREE DECADES !!!”

The Academy Award nominee was one of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit ’s 2025 cover girls, alongside former LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne (also known as Livvy Dunne), Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles and model Lauren Chan.

Salma said she felt “fortunate” to be part of a generation that is witnessing “very tangible change” in the industry when it comes to aging.
