Salma Hayek just turned 57 and she’s truly living her best life—meaning, she spent the summer chilling beachside with a refreshing drink in hand, wearing a series of looks that I need in my closet immediately—including a bright red bikini.
And dropped some pictures of the look for her b-day, writing “I’m so happy to be alive and so profoundly grateful for all the blessings!!!! 🎂My beloved family, my precious friends, my health, my work that keeps me going, my empowering team, my relationship with animals & nature, and the love of all my loyal fans. Happy 57th birthday to me!!! 🎉”

She also shared a photo of her blowing out candles on a cake, thanking her fans for all the birthday wishes.

Salma later reflected on her life (while spinning around in a bikini and robe, naturally!), writing “Life is a series of phases with beginnings and ends, that’s why sometimes it’s ok to feel like butterflies 🦋 even if we let a part of us go…”

Back in 2021, Salma told Entertainment Tonight that she finds sharing bikini pics “liberating,”saying 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.”

She jokingly added, “People are sick of it, but I’m going to let them take a break. They’re going to think I’m wearing a bikini every day. No, they’re all from the same location.”
