Salma Hayek left very little to the imagination in her latest social media post. In the festive clip, the Frida actress wore a white bikini, waist beads and beachy hair waves, as she danced away on a gorgeous rooftop in her motherland of Mexico, for her May cover of Sports Illustrated.
The ageless 58-year-old's video featured Bad Bunny's hit song "BAILE INoLVIDABLE." The sultry video surely gave Salma's fans throwback vibes to her popular kitchen dance scene in the 1997 movie Fools Rush In.
Although her swimsuit video may have stolen the show, the beautiful actress modeled her toned hourglass figure in multiple bikinis for the magazine. In one alluring picture, Salma was photographed under a water fountain wall fixture, in a copper-colored two-piece, while sporting a wet look.

She expressed: "I used to look at this magazine and wanted to see who was the new, gorgeous model, the new girl of the moment. It never crossed my mind that I could be on that cover. Because [the women] didn't look like me. My body isn't necessarily the model type. I never thought that was a possibility — and for it to happen when I’m 58! It's really shocking."

Also, being that it was shot in her motherland, the actress felt the moment was personally confirming for her and gave her the encouragement to find her confidence.
Salma added: "I showed up [to set] feeling like, 'What am I doing here?' and the first shot is on the beach, I stood up, and a whale jumped behind me. And all of a sudden, I felt: this is magical. This is my land. I'm 58 and I’m doing this!"

She continued: "My generation, especially Mexican women, we thought we were going to be dismissed at 35. I got so excited [during the shoot] and I felt really free. I put Bad Bunny on and started dancing — I loved it."
