Salma Hayek still feeling 'sexy' at 58, makes Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover debut with women half her age
'The world is changing,' according to Salma Hayek, who made her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover debut at the age of 58. The House of Gucci star sizzles in a sparkling green bikini and Jacquie Aiche jewellery in a pool on the cover of the magazine's 2025 issue that hits the newsstands on May 17. Inside the issue, she shared her excitement over being the face of SI and still feeling 'sexy' and 'free' past 50, Page Six reported.
'I remember when I was young, a long, long time ago, I was always excited to see the Swimsuit Issue of Sports Illustrated, and [thinking] 'Who's going to be in it?' Of course, I didn't look like a model, so it never crossed my mind that one day I would be in it,' Hayek said in the issue.
'If somebody had told me I was gonna be in it at 58, I would have sent them to the madhouse, but the world has changed, and that's exciting,' the Frida actress said of the cover shot by Ruven Afanador in Mexico.
Hayek further reflected on her decision not to retire anytime soon. 'I could retire, but I don't want to miss out on this time,' she said, adding that she 'fought for it.'
The Grown Ups star thinks that it was 'really remarkable' for Sports Illustrated 'that it's O.K., maybe even cool, to be past 50 and still be able to feel not just sexy, but for me, to be free and not be self-conscious of your body like you have to hide.'
Hayek is one of the four stars to grace the SI cover this year, including LSU star Livvy Dunne, 22, Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles, 24 and model Lauren Chan, 35. The other stars who are featured in the magazine's 2025 lineup of 38 women are: TikTok star Alix Earle, 24, model Brooks Nader, 28, Olympian Gabby Thomas, 28.

World Boxing apologises to Algerian federation for naming Imane Khelif in gender test statement
World Boxing has issued an apology to the Algerian Boxing Federation saying it was not correct to name boxer Imane Khelif in an announcement that makes gender testing mandatory. The sporting body had earlier issued a statement, announcing that it was making gender testing compulsory to determine the eligibility of male and female athletes wanting to take part in its competitions. World Boxing said it had informed the Algerian Boxing Federation Khelif would have to undergo the test if she wanted to compete at the Eindhoven Box Cup in the Netherlands on June 5-10. This drew sharp reaction from the Algerian federation, prompting an apology from the global body. 'The president of World Boxing does not think it was correct to have a named a specific athlete in a statement issued last Friday,' it said in a statement, according to AFP. It added that World Boxing 'has written personally to the president of the Algerian Boxing Federation to offer a formal and sincere apology which acknowledges that greater effort should have been made to avoid linking the policy to any individual'. As per the Associated Press, a personal letter was written to Alegrian Boxing Federation by Boris van der Vorst. 'I am writing to you all personally to offer a formal and sincere apology for this and acknowledge that her privacy should have been protected,' he said in the letter, seen by AP. Imane Khelif and fellow gold medalist Lin Yu-ting from Taiwan were in the spotlight in Paris because the previous governing body for Olympic boxing, the International Boxing Association, disqualified both fighters from its 2023 world championships, claiming they failed an unspecified eligibility test. Under the new policy, all athletes over 18 that want to participate in a World Boxing owned or sanctioned competition will need to undergo a PCR, or polymerase chain reaction genetic test, to determine what sex they were at birth and their eligibility to compete. The PCR test is a laboratory technique used to detect specific genetic material, in this case the SRY gene, that reveals the presence of the Y chromosome, which is an indicator of biological sex. The test can be conducted by a nasal or mouth swab, or by taking a sample of saliva or blood. National federations will be responsible for testing and will be required to confirm the sex of their athletes when entering them into World Boxing competitions by producing certification of their chromosomal sex, as determined by a PCR test.
