Salma also shared a behind-the-scenes video from the photoshoot, with the star sporting a cream-colored bikini and a gold body chain as she danced beside a pool. "My cover of @sportsillustrated.mexico is now out in Mexico with a special edition #VIVAMEXICO," she wrote in her caption. 

Her post quickly surpassed 890,000 likes, and garnered thousands of comments from celebrities and fans alike who commented on her enviable figure.

"Yep, God definitely has favorites," shared another, with a fourth commenting, "You're killlling me Salma."

Salma made headlines with her Sports Illustrated cover in May, where she sizzled in a green bikini. 

The Frida actress shared with the Mexican edition of the publication that it still hadn't sunk in that she was on the cover. 

"It's so bizarre! I'm nearly 60! At this stage, it wouldn't have crossed my mind," she said. "The first thing you get is—what is that word?—imposter syndrome. You have the imposter syndrome immediately."

She opened up about her achievement on the Today show, sharing that she couldn't "believe" it. 

"I remember when I was young and hot, I used to look at this magazine," she quipped. 

"I wanted to see who was the new gorgeous model, the new girl of the moment. And it never crossed my mind that I could be on that cover because they didn't look like me. My body's not necessarily the model type, and I never thought that was a possibility. And for it to happen when I'm 58? It's really shocking."

Salma confessed that she was "content" with her body

Despite sending fans into a frenzy with her bikini body, Salma admitted in an interview with Marie Claire that she wasn't "thrilled" about her figure, rather simply "content". 

"I don't look at somebody else and say, 'I want that body,' or 'I want a new body,'" she explained. "But I do confess, I want the old body; the one I had at 25 and criticized and hated nonstop."

The mother of one added that she rarely exercises and simply cuts down her sugar intake due to a family history of diabetes.

"Four times a year, I put music on and walk on my own treadmill," she said. "Don't ask me to run; [I'm] not made for that."

The star added that she was proud of her efforts to fight ageism in Hollywood. "Another calling that I have is to remind everyone that women are not disposable after a certain age in any department," she said. "We should battle that with all we've got."
