Salma Hayek, 58, has landed the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

The Frida star was posing in a bikini as she showed off her enviable figure for the magazine.

The From Dusk Till Dawn standout is one of the few actresses to pose for the prestigious cover.

The 2025 cover lady is joining athletes Livvy Dunne and Jordan Chiles and model Lauren Chan.

‘It’s so strange!’ Hayek remarked to the publication. ‘I’m almost 60! At this point, it wouldn’t have occurred to me. The first thing that hits you is—what’s that term?—imposter syndrome. You experience imposter syndrome right away.’

She also appeared on the Today show with Savannah Guthrie where she said she could not ‘believe’ it. 

‘I recall when I was youthful and attractive, I would look at this magazine. I wanted to find out who the stunning new model was, the latest girl of the moment. It never occurred to me that I could appear on that cover because they didn’t resemble me. My figure isn’t typically the model standard and I never considered it a possibility. For it to happen at 58? It’s quite astonishing,’ the siren expressed.

‘Sports Illustrated Swimsuit has always been about more than just swimsuits and breathtaking pictures,’ MJ Day, the editor in chief of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, said of the actress’ debut cover. 

‘It’s about creating a platform to capture moments that define our times, celebrating people who are shaping culture, and showcasing beauty on a world stage.’

The shoot was by photographer Ruven Afanador.

‘Every single woman included this year brings with her a unique and powerful reason for being featured in the issue. Whether it’s about what she represents, the impact she’s making, or the change she’s driving in her own life and the world around her, these women show up with passion and purpose,’ Day added in the press release, calling Hayek ‘a force of nature as an actor, director, producer, and champion for women.’

Other major figures gracing the SI cover this year include former LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne (or Livvy), Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles and model Lauren Chan.

‘These women, along with our 34 other incredible models, have joined forces to carry the SI Swimsuit torch for 2025,’ the press release adds.

In 2021, Salma told ET: ‘I had to lose a lot of weight and exercise to get into the bikini towards the end of last year,’ she said at the time.

‘I’m glad I took a lot of pictures, I have no shame on it because it was the first week of the vacation,’ Hayek added, referring to a recent vacation.

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit will be available on newsstands on May 17.

The Mexican beauty previously revealed she stays fit by practicing restorative yoga, juice cleanses, and walking her numerous dogs whom she’s called her ‘trainers.’

‘I thought getting older meant I wasn’t going to work. I’m working. I thought getting older maybe meant that you’re not in love anymore. I’m in love,’ the half-Mexican, half-Lebanese American told Glamour last year.

‘I don’t feel that I lost my flexibility or my agility or even my strength…Hell, I’m still going. Shocker. I’m still here. They tried to get rid of me a thousand ways. I’m still here.’

The age-defying brunette beauty continues to look decades younger than her years and has said she does not use Botox or fillers.  

There’s no magic or expensive beauty products behind her flawless skin. But she does use a product derived from the bark of a tree.

‘I use an ingredient called Tepezcohuite that’s used in Mexico for burn victims because it completely regenerates the skin,’ Hayek told Elle way back in 2015.

‘Some of the ingredients, when I took them to the American labs, they were like, ‘Oh my God! How come nobody is using this?’ This is why I have no Botox, no peels, no fillers.’

Salma and her billionaire husband François-Henri Pinault, 62, have been in a relationship since 2006 and tied the knot in Paris in 2009.

He is the son of billionaire French businessman Francois Pinault, whose company Kering bought Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent in the 90s.

His company also owns Boucheron, Balenciaga, and the British fashion house Alexander McQueen.

François-Henri took over from his father as CEO of Kering in 2005 and also owns Stade Rennais FC, a French soccer team.
