Salma Hayek, 58, flaunts her enviable curves in slew of tiny bikinis before posing topless in racy behind-the-scenes look at Sports Illustrated shoot
Salma Hayek has set pulses racing as she treated her followers to more steamy behind-the-scenes content from her photoshoot for the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
The actress, 58, stunned fans on Wednesday as she landed the sought-after cover, looking nothing less than sensational as she displayed her toned figure in a sparkly bikini.
And she followed it up with an even sexier montage of clips from the photoshoot, showing her strutting down the beach, writhing on the sand, and stripping topless in a swimming pool.
Salma also voiced her gratitude to the magazine and photographer Ruven Afanador for the 'most fun shoot' and allowing her to be snapped in her home country of Mexico.
In the caption, she penned in both English and Spanish: 'Thank you @ruvenafanador and @sportsiillustrated @si_swimsuit for one of the most fun shoots of my life and for granting me my wish for shooting it in my beloved home country Mexico. #siswim2025 #VIVAMEXICO'
The video showed the Frida star sending temperatures soaring as she donned a shimmery copper bikini and posed up a storm in an outside shower.
She also was seen modelling a bright red two-piece under a flowing matching cover-up, while a crew member used a wind machine for added dramatic effect.
Salma oozed confidence as she posed from every angle in a number of tiny two-pieces, showing off her ample cleavage, chiselled midriff and long legs.
While she also ditched her bikini top at one point for some ultra sexy photos in a swimming pool, strategically wrapping her arms around her chest to preserve her modesty.
The brunette beauty was later seen celebrating becoming one of the few actresses to pose for the prestigious cover, as she stepped out in New York City.
She was seen making her exit from Angelina Jolie's artistic and tailoring space, Atelier Jolie, clutching a copy of cookbook, The Kitchen without Borders: Recipes and Stories from Refugee and Immigrant Chefs.
Salma looked effortlessly chic in a navy blue jacket and matching wide-legged trousers, over a simple black shirt and a chunky gold chain.
Speaking to Sports Illustrated, the Oscar-nominated star admitted she couldn't believe that she had landed the exclusive cover, as she 'didn't look like a model' during her younger years.
She said: 'I remember when I was young, a long, long time ago, I was always excited to see the Swimsuit Issue of Sports Illustrated.
In the caption, she penned in both English and Spanish: 'Thank you @ruvenafanador and @sportsiillustrated @si_swimsuit for one of the most fun shoots of my life and for granting me my wish for shooting it in my beloved home country Mexico. #siswim2025 #VIVAMEXICO'

'I was 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.'
Salma said she was pleased to see that women over 50 were allowed to feel sexy and insisted she would embrace life 'to the fullest'.
The Eternals star said: '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.'
The mother-of-one said she's witnessed a 'very tangible change' in attitudes in recent years, adding: 'I feel so fortunate that I am part of a generation that has been able to really experience very tangible change.'
Salma - who is married to businessman Francois-Henri Pinault - also appeared on the Today show with Savannah Guthrie to admit she said she could not 'believe' she had appeared on the cover at the age of 58.
She admitted: 'I remember when I was young and hot, I used to look at this magazine. I wanted to see who was the new gorgeous model, the new girl of the moment.
'And it never crossed my mind that I could be on that cover because they didn't look like me.
'My body's not necessarily the model type and I never thought that was a possibility. And for it to happen when I'm 58? It's really shocking'.

These Latino restaurateurs in unlikely places are nominated for a prestigious culinary prize
Before moving to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, two decades ago, Oscar Ortega had left Mexico City at a young age and spent many years in several European countries, where he studied gastronomy with what he calls incredible teachers. But he never forgot 'where my roots came from, my origins,' he said in an interview with Noticias Telemundo. Cacao originated in Mexico, he explained, which was one of the reasons Ortega decided to dedicate himself to becoming a chocolatier, gelato maker and baker. This year, his Jackson Hole establishment, Atelier Ortega, is one of five finalists for the outstanding bakery prize of the prestigious James Beard Awards, which will be announced June 16 and are considered the Oscars of the culinary world. Ortega, whose desserts have won international competitions and who's been featured on numerous television programs, is one of almost 20 Latinos who are finalists across different categories, recognized for making their mark in the culinary and beverage arenas — including in states with smaller Latino populations. One of them is Wyoming, a state where 10% of the population is Hispanic and that many people might associate more with 'cowboy country' than with chocolate making, Ortega said with a laugh. 'But I said, 'Let's see, let's try,'' and he opened a chocolate and pastry shop in 2004. There were days when he didn't sell anything, he said, but then everything started selling out. To keep honing his skills, he began entering international culinary competitions. Initially, he represented Mexico, his native country, but after winning several times, he was invited to join the official U.S. team with which he has won several prestigious international awards. 'And after I made the desserts for the competitions, I would serve them in my bakery when I got back. And that's how it began to establish itself' to the point of getting James Beard recognition, Ortega said. 'Tastes just like my grandma's' Like Wyoming, Idaho and Alabama are not states with the largest Latino populations. But in Caldwell, Idaho, people of Hispanic descent make up almost 40% of the population compared to 13% in the rest of the state. In this city, Salvador Alamilla's dishes at his restaurant, Amano, have earned him a nomination for 2025 James Beard best chef: mountain, where he's competing against four other chefs in nearby states. The restaurant's website touts a dedication 'to uplifting the food and beverages of the Mexican diaspora through ancestral cooking methods.' From the beginning, Alamilla said, his restaurant sought to be a place that offered 'the dream of eating like you did at home, with food like your grandpa or mom used to make it.' That's why regardless of whether he wins the James Beard Award or not, he said he's already been rewarded by 'seeing how people react to this food, saying, 'That's how my dad made it,' or 'Wow, it tastes just like my grandma's.''

Band whose visas were revoked by Trump now have ticket sales SEIZED by the government
A popular Mexican band that had its visa revoked by the administration of President Donald Trump is now under investigation for allegedly benefiting from illicit activities. Los Alegres del Barranco came under fire following its performance at a concert in March where the images Mexico 's most notorious drug lords were displayed. The Jalisco State Attorney General's Office announced that as part of its probe, it had seized 5.878 million pesos [around $306,000 USD] that the band earned from the controversial show's ticket sales. Deputy Attorney General Alfonso Gutiérrez said during a press conference Wednesday that investigators are looking into whether the money that the band made was misused. Any person who is found guilty of benefiting from an illicit activity can be punished with a prison sentence of 10 to 15 years, according to Article 310 of the Jalisco State Penal Code. 'We believe this musical group is actually profiting by engaging in an illicit activity such as condoning crime, and that they are already convicted of that crime,' Gutiérrez said. 'Therefore, the proceeds they obtained from these conducts will likely be of illicit origin, and therefore a thorough investigation will be necessary to proceed against these individuals.' Los Alegres del Barranco headlined a Mexican music concert at Telmex Auditorium in the Jalisco municipality of Zapopan on March 29. Social media video clips of the concert showed Los Alegres del Barranco getting ready to sing its hit narcocorrido, or drug ballad, 'El dueño del palenque,' when multiple pictures of Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader Ruben 'El Mencho' Oseguera were displayed on the screen. They included mugshots, which were taken during El Mencho's arrests in California, followed by a sketch of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader. Images of the infamous drug lord Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán were also shown during the concert. The band's performance didn't sit well with the Trump administration. The US Department of Homeland Security revoked the work and tourist visas of its four members on April 1. The Jalisco State Attorney General's Office then launched an investigation and charged Los Alegres del Barranco, their manager and the concert promoter with glorifying crime on May 12. They were each ordered to pay $10,000 and are required to present themselves in court once a week while the legal process plays out. Los Alegres del Barranco lead singer Pavel Moreno sat down with Mexican journalist Luis Chaparro on the YouTube program 'Pie de Nota' on May 18 and recalled that the group noticed that the cartel leaders' images were flashed during a walk-through hours before the show and that they expressed their displeasure. 'During the rehearsal, we said, 'Hey, the images are a little too strong, aren't they?' Moreno said. 'We did tell him we didn't agree, but by the time we realized it, at the concert, it was all over.' The group had been slated to perform five shows in Texas, California and Oklahoma and do three promotional appearances in April before the Trump administration announced its ban.

Chris Kamara gives worrying update on his health as neurological disorder which forced him off air leaves him 'really weak' and struggling to walk down stairs
Chris Kamara has revealed he struggles to walk down stairs nowadays after being diagnosed with speech apraxia. Kamara, 67, was diagnosed with the rare neurological condition that affects your ability to speak in 2022 and was subsequently forced to step away from his television duties, including Soccer Saturday. The popular pundit made a return to TV screens on Boxing Day last year when he covered Nottingham Forest 's Premier League clash with Tottenham for Amazon Prime, and he recently opened up on travelling to Mexico to undergo treatment for his condition. However, Kamara stopped the treatment after the machine that transmitted radio frequency and magnetic fields into his body became less effective, and he has now admitted that maintaining his balance has become an everyday struggle. Having made his comeback in the latter stages of 2024, Kamara has now revealed he has to choose his TV appearances carefully due to his physical issues. 'I'm choosy these days,' Kamara told the Daily Star. 'That's what's happened with the work because even though I've got the acceptance of my condition, I still don't want to put myself in a situation where it comes back to bite me. 'So I'm not like the old Chris Kamara who would say yes to the opening of an envelope. Whereas now I'm a bit more choosy and will I put myself in a situation where it won't work out alongside my apraxia, I have dyspraxia, which affects your balance. 'So I'm weak, really weak, and you know, going down these stairs isn't great. Going up these stairs is fine, but going down these stairs, the brain tells you you're going to fall even though you probably won't, so you have to hold on to the banister and getting on planes and things like that. Don't be in the queue behind me because I'll be 5 minutes getting down those plane steps!' Kamara's concerning update on his health comes just weeks after he admitted to apologising to his wife, Anne, for not speaking up when he first felt the symptoms of his condition. 'They spotted the signs (that I was struggling). I should have talked to my wife Anne, for which I have apologised to her. I didn't tell my wife what was going on,' he said. 'My family would have supported me rather than somebody I didn't know, Anne, and my sons would have helped me in the first place.' Kamara, who had a 20-year playing career that saw him feature for the likes of Brentford, Sheffield United and Leeds United, worked on Soccer Saturday for 24 years before stepping away in 2022. He became a fans' favourite largely thanks to his rapport with then-presenter Jeff Stelling and his hilarious on-air gaffes. He also hosted Sky's popular football highlights show Goals on Sunday between 2000 and 2022.
