Plus, I need that chain accessory

It’s officially summer, which means we’re in full beach mode. Think: pool days, iced drinks, sun-kissed selfies and, of course, A+ swimwear moments. Celebs like Simone Biles, Eva Longoria, Ashley Graham and Gabrielle Union have all been serving summer looks lately. And now? Salma Hayek is adding her name to the list in the most iconic way.

The Mexican-American actress, 58, recently hopped on Instagram to give fans a behind-the-scenes peek at her Sports Illustrated cover shoot and it’s a whole vibe. In the video, Salma dances barefoot on a rooftop in a white/cream string bikini, with the mountains serving as the ultimate dreamy backdrop. The post then transitions to a few stunning shots from the actual magazine spread. Her hair is giving fresh-from-the-ocean beach waves and the accessories? A gold anklet and a delicate body chain. The cherry on top? The video is set to Bad Bunny’s “BAILE INoVIDABLE.”

“My cover of @sportsillustrated.mexico in now out in Mexico with a special edition #VIVAMEXICO,” Salma captioned the post. (See it here.)

This isn’t the Magic Mike Last Dance star's first SI moment. Earlier this year, Salma graced the cover of the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit U.S. edition and opened up about how surreal the experience was.

“I used to look at this magazine and wanted to see who was the new, gorgeous model, the new girl of the moment,” she said on Today. “It never crossed my mind that I could be on that cover. Because [the women] didn’t look like me. My body isn’t necessarily the model type. I never thought that was a possibility—and for it to happen when I’m 58! It’s really shocking.”

Of course, Salma isn’t always turning up in a bikini. Back in June, she posted a heartfelt carousel on Instagram featuring a rare snap of her stepson, Augustin James Evangelista Pinault—aka Augie—celebrating his graduation from Dwight-Englewood School in New Jersey.

“Augie!!! We are so PROUD of you congratulations for becoming the extraordinary young man that you are and managing to still be our lovely boy and congratulations to Linda, Francois and all the parents who got our babies up to this point. Easier said than done,” she wrote.

Whether she’s soaking up the sun in a swimsuit or celebrating sweet family milestones, one thing’s for sure: Salma Hayek keeps it effortlessly iconic.
