Salma Hayek’s sexiest snaps as she turns 55 – soaking wet pic to swimwear row

Salma Hayek has been a staple of Hollywood for decades, appearing in iconic flicks including Grown Ups, Frida and Fools Rush In.

The star has also had iconic roles in TV shows like Ugly Betty and 30 Rock, forging a name for herself as one of the most stunning women in the film industry.

To celebrate Salma turning 55, we take a look back at her sexiest snaps over the years – and there have been plenty.

From soaking wet shower snaps to completely nude photoshoots, Salma is instantly recognisable from her glamorous Instagram posts.

And who could forget the controversy she caused when she posted a scorching swimsuit snap alongside fellow actress Penelope Cruz – to celebrate Penelope’s birthday?

Soaking wet shower

Salma was not holding back when she posed for a soaking wet shower snap.

The brunette beauty had her eyes closed and face tipped towards the camera lens as water streamed over her dark tresses and luscious curves.

She wore nothing but a scarlet spaghetti strap vest for the sizzling shoot, while rivulets of water cascaded down her body and slicked her hair to the side.

Sharing the snap on her Instagram account, Salma added the caption: “I’m ready ‘rain on me’ @ladygaga,” in reference to her hit track with Ariana Grande.

Salma then added a Spanish translation to the pic.

Fans were instantly enamoured with the snap, as one posted: “Fire in the water!”

“Breathtaking!” someone else added, as a third fan echoed: “Perfect beauty.”

Ice cream babe

If there’s anyone who can make eating an ice cream look sexy, it’s Salma.

The brunette beauty made eye contact with the camera lens while poking her tongue out to lap at an ice cream cone dripping with chocolate gelato – and, miraculously managed to avoid getting any on her fingers.

She looked chic as ever in a bright blue top fringed with white lace, and matching white earrings dripping down from her lobes.

Salma perched a pair of sunglasses atop her head, with her hair pulled into an artfully messy bun for the intimate photo.

She simply tagged it “#IceCream” on Instagram.

Fans were thoroughly distracted by the post, and many were left wondering if Salma had gone for a cheeky tongue piercing while she was at it – though it looked to be just a bit of stray ice cream.

“Is that a pierced tongue I see?” one fan wondered in the comments section.

Another just said: “TASTY!” as someone else posted: “I want some!”

Swimsuit sisters

The star was unexpectedly slammed by fans as she posted a sultry pic to celebrate pal Penelope Cruz’s birthday back in April.

Taking to Instagram, Salma edited two snaps side-by-side – one of Penelope looking breathtaking in a lacy white one-piece, and another of herself gazing at the camera, stunning in a busty white bikini top and a wrap loosely around her hips.

Salma looked like she’d just stepped out of the ocean for the beachside shoot, with a saran hanging loosely on her hips and exposing a wealth of her toned thigh where it was sinfully slashed to her waist.

She paired the glam look with a silver necklace and let the water soak her dark hair while she smouldered for the lens.

Salma wrote alongside the snaps: “Women in white, still celebrating the magnificent Penelope Cruz who had her birthday yesterday! #BFF.”

But fans were baffled as to why she’d choose to celebrate Penelope’s birthday with a shot of herself.

They took to the comments section and engaged in some relentless mocking of the Hollywood star.

“Well @salmahayek you should [only] post her pic it’s her bday not yours,” one wrote with a winking emoji.

Another laughed: “How to put a photo of – hot herself – to celebrate a friend!”

While someone else commented: “Couldn’t you just let Penelope have her shine?”

Side-boob frock

Salma wasn’t afraid to expose some generous side-boob as she wowed in a pearlescent white dress.

The stunning star paired the ruffled frock, which slipped down to expose plenty of her curvaceous cleavage, with a fluffy white bolero hanging off her shoulders.

The star’s mouth was hanging open, framed with chic brown lipstick, and diamonds glittered from her earlobes while she gazed at someone out-of-shot.

Posting the throwback snap to her Instagram account, Salma wrote: “Today I am combining a #TBT picture with very recent news, because this image represents how surprised and happy I was a few minutes ago when my team showed me the announcement that I am getting the star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame!

“Thank you to the fans for their support through the years,” Salma added.

Said fans rushed to congratulate Salma on her massive achievement, with one posting: “Congratulations! That’s some gravy on top 4 sure! You soooo worked for it!”

Someone else followed up: “You are the best!”

“Well deserved!” another fan echoed.

Plunging swimwear

Salma had jaws dropping left and right as she stunned in scarlet swimwear for a low-key beach shoot.

The star looked scorching hot in a burgundy one-piece, which featured a gold bead design dangling just between the cleavage.

The plunging neckline left Salma’s assets on full display, while she paired the look with a pair of dark shades and hopped up on one tip-toe to smoulder for the camera.

She simply tagged the snap #SundayFunday.

Her followers were left fanning themselves, as one commented: “Look very beautiful!”

“I swear she keeps getting sexier with age!” someone else added, while a third said: “Classy and beautiful as always!”
