Salma Hayek welcomes 'very tangible change' attitude change
Salma Hayek is determined to embrace life "to the fullest".
The 58-year-old actress has witnessed a "very tangible change" in attitudes in recent years, and Salma doesn't have any intention of slowing down.
The brunette beauty told Sports Illustrated: "I feel so fortunate that I am part of a generation that has been able to really experience very tangible change. I could retire, but I don't want to miss out on this time."
Salma appears on the cover of the new Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and the actress relished the experience of posing for the magazine.
She shared: "I think it's really remarkable that a magazine like Sports Illustrated says that it's OK, 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.
"I don't see why, after a certain age, we have to retract ourselves from embracing life to the fullest."
Salma "didn't look like a model" during her younger years, and she never imagined appearing in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
The 'Eternals' star - who is married to businessman Francois-Henri Pinault - said: "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.
"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."
Meanwhile, MJ Day - the editor in chief of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit - has heaped praise on Salma, describing the actress as a "force of nature".
MJ added: "As an actor, producer, philanthropist and champion for women, Salma is a beacon for Latinx communities, a tireless advocate and a person whose passion for art, life and humanity has few rivals.
"Her why is rooted in her ability to inspire generations to come, by showing us all that living on your own terms is the ultimate power."

Bethenny Frankel: I look like a train wreck most of the time
Bethenny Frankel looks like "a train wreck most of the time". The 54-year-old reality TV star recently wore a thong bikini bottom at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Swim Week runway show in Miami, and Bethenny believes there's an unhealthy fascination with her appearance. In a video posted on Instagram, Bethenny explained: "I guess we have to discuss what I looked like on that runway because the internet is so fascinated with my age, my weight, my face, my hair. "Listen, I can tell you with great certainty that every woman that was with me on that stage did not look that way two hours prior." Bethenny insists she's "never been vain" and admitted that she looks very different at home. She said: "I look like a train wreck most of the time. That's me. That's what I want." Bethenny also rubbished suggestions that she's recently undergone cosmetic surgery. The reality TV star explained: "My body is natural. "I don't do weights. And the reason my body is natural is because the exercise I do and have always done for my body is natural. I'll go months without exercise and definitely days without doing anything but I always come back to it." Bethenny also urged her Instagram followers to develop a "good relationship with food and exercise". She said: "I want you to allow yourselves to have, but not beat yourselves up when you do indulge. And I want you to have a good relationship with food and exercise and that doesn't mean being screamed at in a gym or beating yourself up and telling yourself that you have to kill yourself. You don't. It's healthier to just be healthy." Bethenny previously claimed that honesty and authenticity have been the keys to her success. Speaking to ADWEEK, she explained: "Be honest, be authentic - this is what I'm doing." Bethenny considers herself to be an "accidental influencer" - but the reality star also insisted there's real skill to her success. Bethenny said: "I see a lot of entrepreneurs and business owners that can't help but want to promote themselves. But not everybody can do it, and you have to really know if you can. It has to land."

Livvy Dunne ends dazzling Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway turn with a split
Olivia 'Livvy' Dunne showed off her gymnastics prowess Saturday during the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway show at the W South Beach in Miami, where she capped off her walk with a split at the end of the runway. The former LSU gymnast and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model rocked a sultry one-piece with cutouts for one turn down the runway and switched things up to a white crop top and animal-print bottoms for the other. The 22-year-old Dunne made her cover debut for the iconic publication this spring, which she called a dream come true. 'That is crazy,' Dunne said upon learning she landed the cover. 'I am a Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model… Are you kidding me?' Dunne, who made her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut in 2023, appears on one of the four covers for this year's edition, including Lauren Chan, Salma Hayek and Jordan Chiles. In a behind-the-scenes video from her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit shoot shared in May, Dunne revealed she was grappling with a knee injury at the time. 'Fun fact, I was shooting on a fractured kneecap, so poses like this and the cover shot kind of hurt, but it was honestly so worth it,' she said in the Instagram clip. Dunne confirmed in March that she had been 'dealing with an avulsion fracture of my patella,' which sidelined her from participating on the floor of LSU's senior night festivities. 'It absolutely breaks my heart to not get the opportunity to compete in the PMAC one last time. Tiger fans, you've been so good to me! Thank you for the endless support and as always Geaux Tigers! – Liv,' she wrote on social media at the time. Dunne, a national championship-winning gymnast with the Tigers, bid an official farewell to the sport she's loved all her life in April. 'Gymnastics, you have filled my heart and will always be a part of me,' she shared in a heartfelt Instagram video. 'You shaped me into the person I am today.' Dunne has given her 13 million fans across Instagram and TikTok intimate looks at her highs and lows over the years, including troublesome moments with supporters. In a TikTok video shared over the weekend, Dunne detailed how autograph-seekers have tracked her down at airports and fears she is 'being stalked.' 'They know time, place, airport, everything!!! Stay safe,' she captioned the video. As Dunne's star has continued to rise, fans have paid particular attention to her personal life. She and Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes have been together for more than a year, with the ex-LSU baseball star confirming the relationship in the summer of 2023.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's daughter Shiloh debuts new moniker after dropping dad's last name
Shiloh Jolie has entered a new era. The daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, 19, appeared at the launch of Isabel Marant's capsule collection with Net-A-Porter Thursday in Los Angeles — and she dropped a new moniker for the occasion. In a press release obtained by Page Six, Shiloh was credited as choreographer for an original dance number at the event — but she was listed as 'Shi Joli,' a moniker that pays homage to her famous mother while shortening her legal name. The dance featured dancers Tako Suzuki and Keoni Rose and was accompanied by singer Luella's performance of 'Naïve.' The event, described as an 'intimate sunset dinner,' was held at Schindler's Oliver House in the Los Angeles enclave of Silver Lake. A-listers including Milla Jovovich, Alison Brie, January Jones, Rachel Bilson, and more were in attendance at the soirée. Shiloh, who is frequently spotted heading to dance class in Los Angeles, famously requested to drop her father's last name on her 18th birthday in May 2024 — a change that was made official in August. After a judge signed off on the ruling, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt legally became Shiloh Nouvel Jolie. She was said to have done the legwork on her own — without involving the 'Eternals' actress. 'Shiloh hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself, so Angie doesn't know and can't speak for it,' a source told Entertainment Tonight at the time. In a July statement to Page Six, Shiloh's attorney Peter Levine said in part that the teen made 'an independent and significant decision following painful events' in dropping 'Pitt' from her last name. Shiloh isn't the only of her famous siblings to have dropped the name following their parents' split and bitter divorce, which was finalized in December 2024 after an eight year battle. When Zahara Jolie-Pitt, 20, declared herself at Alpha Kappa Alpha's sorority induction ceremony at Spelman College in 2023, she shouted, 'Zahara Marley Jolie' in video of the event that circulated via social media. Amid the famous actors' custody dispute in 2021, a source claimed to Us Weekly that their oldest child, Maddox, 'doesn't use Pitt as his last name on documents that aren't legal and instead uses Jolie. Maddox wants to legally change his last name to Jolie, which Angelina has said she doesn't support.' Pitt, 61, and Jolie, 49, who wed in 2014, welcomed Shiloh on May 27, 2006, and her twin siblings Knox and Vivienne on July 12, 2008. Pitt officially adopted Jolie's adopted children Maddox, 23, and Zahara in 2005, and Pax, 21, in 2006. The 'F1' actor was said to have been 'aware and upset' when Shiloh legally dropped his last name. 'He's never felt more joy than when she was born,' an insider told People in June 2024. 'He always wanted a daughter.' 'The reminders that he's lost his children is, of course, not easy for Brad,' they continued. 'He loves his children and misses them. It's very sad.' In May, Pitt broke his silence on finalizing the high-profile divorce from Angelina. When asked by GQ if he experienced 'relief,' he said, 'No, I don't think it was that major of a thing. Just something coming to fruition. Legally,' he told the outlet. Originally published as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's daughter Shiloh debuts new moniker after dropping dad's last name
