Salma Hayek Strips Down for a Birthday Suit Swim as She Turns 60: ‘Grateful’

Salma Hayek celebrated turning 60 with a bold ocean swim, proving that age is just a number as she ditched her clothes and embraced the milestone in the water, as reported by Page Six.

The actress, whose birthday falls on Sept. 2, shared the sultry celebration with her Instagram followers Monday. Her post featured photos of Hayek rolling around in the ocean during her birthday swim.

Another photo showed Hayek posing with her backside facing the camera while playing with her hair. She kept her message about the milestone short and appreciative.

“60 and grateful,” Hayek captioned the photos.

Fans quickly filled the post with praise for the “Frida” star, celebrating her appearance and the energy she brought to her 60th birthday pictures.

“60 yet ageless … Father Time must be smitten with you ,” one admirer wrote in response to the ocean photos.

Another fan offered a longer tribute to Hayek and the qualities she has displayed throughout her life and career. The message praised both her talent and the beauty that the commenter said came from within.

“60 years of sweetness, talent, grace, and a beauty that shines from the inside out,” the fan wrote. “60 years of making the world feel a little brighter just by being in it ❤️ .”

Hayek has frequently shared glamorous photos from beachfront settings, although she usually poses in bikinis. Her latest birthday post took that familiar style in a more daring direction as she marked turning 60.

One year earlier, Hayek celebrated her 59th birthday aboard a yacht while wearing a bright red bikini. The “Desperado” star appeared ready to celebrate as she held up what looked like a cocktail.

“59 trips around the sun and still dancing,” Hayek captioned that birthday photo.

That same year, Hayek reached another milestone when she appeared as a cover star for the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. For the shoot, she posed by a pool in a green bikini while dripping wet.

Hayek described how surprising the opportunity felt after remembering the excitement she had about the issue when she was younger.

She also explained that appearing in it was not something she had imagined for herself at the time.

“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.”

She also reflected on the significance of joining the issue at 58, saying the possibility once would have seemed unbelievable to her. For Hayek, the opportunity also represented a broader change that she found exciting.

“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,” she said.

Hayek discussed her approach to aging with People in April 2025.

She said she was not focused on trying to look younger, although she still wanted to look good at her age and hoped her husband would continue to admire her.

“I just want my husband to still go, ‘Wow’ when he looks at me,” she explained.

Hayek made clear that feeling good about her appearance did not mean wanting to look 20 again. Instead, she expressed enthusiasm about looking good while embracing the beauty of being in her 50s and 60s.

“I still want to feel good about the way I look, but not necessarily because I want to look 20. I’m okay. I’m more excited about being 50 and 60 and looking good at 50 and 60. It’s a different kind of beauty.”

Her latest ocean pictures put that philosophy on display as she celebrated reaching 60.

The actress paired the daring birthday swim with a simple message of gratitude, while her followers responded with praise for her beauty, talent, and grace.

Hayek has also spoken before about her youthful appearance. In 2023, she credited meditation as the secret behind it, adding another element to her public reflections on beauty and aging.
