So, was the cosmos just playing a cosmic joke on us, or did the stars align just right when Salma Hayek was “assembled”? At 58, the Mexican-born goddess has sashayed her way into the glossy pages of Sports Illustrated Swim, turning heads and busting stereotypes faster than Mercury can retrograde. I mean, who else pulls off strutting in teeny-tiny bikinis like it’s nobody’s business—flaunting curves with the kind of confidence that makes you wonder if the heavens gifted her with an extra dose of celestial fabulousness? Between flipping her hair by ocean waves and scoffing at the idea that it might be “too late” to headline SI Swim, Salma has proved that age, like astrology, is just a number and we should probably all stop pretending otherwise. And let’s not overlook that she tried on over 100 bikinis—that’s commitment, darling, not indecisiveness. Dive into the visual feast and catch why 2024 might just be Salma’s year to sparkle brighter than a shooting star.
