Scroll for the video. Displaying her incredible cleavage in a low-cut bikini top with a halterneck, Salma made the most of a raised circular ledge as she shimmied around while in her native Mexico.

Offering up a sideboob flash in some moments as her busty top just about kept her contained, Salma swayed her hips while dancing barefoot, enjoying her shoot from a swanky mansion space with palm trees in the background.
