Salma Hayek Receives Criticism For ‘Showing’ Age In Steamy Bikini Snap

Actress Salma Hayek is receiving backlash over a photo that she posted of her in the pool for National Bikini Day.

Although many celebrities were posting photos of themselves on Instagram in red, white, and blue bikinis to celebrate the Fourth of July, the “House of Gucci” actress waited one day later to start celebrating National Bikini Day, held annually on July 5! The Mexican-American actress ditched the red, white, and blue, and instead rocked a colorful vintage drawstring bikini that she paired with dangling gold earrings.

She stood in the middle of a pool as she smoldered for the camera, appearing to wear minimal, if any make-up. Salma is known for using no filter and very little, if any make-up, in her photos, and fans love seeing her natural beauty. In the caption, she wrote, “Happy #NationalBikiniDay! Can you believe the bikini has only been around for 77 years?! Let’s hope they don’t ban them too.” She made sure to specify that the photo was recent and “not a throwback” with a hashtag.

She also repeated her message in Spanish, asking, “¡Feliz #NationalBikiniDay! ¿Puedes creer que el bikini solo tiene 77 años de existencia?!” Although many fans gushed over her steamy snaps, there were some netizens who felt that the “Frida” star was getting a bit “too old” to wear a bikini!

Some Fans Think That Salma Is ‘Really Starting To Show’ Her Age

Although many fans loved the “Black Mirror” actress and her steamy pool snap, not everyone did. There were quite a few comments that said that she was “too old” to wear a bikini. One user even went as far as to write: “Really starting to show your age, Salma – you should have stopped wearing bikinis when you hit your 30s last year.”

Fortunately, fans were quick to come to her defense. “Well, she’s allowed to do whatever she wants. Plus, she looks great,” one fan clapped back. “Bro… what?? I dare you to look this good at almost 60 years old,” another follower shared. “You have to be joking, right? She’s literally perfect for her age,” another fan replied. Some users expressed hope that it was only a joke, as the 56-year-old actress didn’t turn 30 last year!

Fortunately, most of the comments on her latest post were positive and encouraging. Author Jared E. Katz commented, “From 54 to Magic Mike’s Last Dance, Salma is constantly redefining beauty. But for me, I love the Salma voice! It’s one of my favorite voices. She always puts things in perspective. #icon #retrainthebrain.”

Other fans felt that the “From Dusk Till Dawn” actress was a primary example of looking young for her age. “Salma Hayek is the ALL-TIME GREATEST EXAMPLE of How Keeping In SHAPE Keeps You Looking YOUNG!” one fan commented. “You look exactly as in From dusk till dawn. Amazing!” another follower exclaimed.

“You are just as beautiful as you were 30 years ago,” another fan gushed. “How old are you again, 23?” another follower asked. “Natural beauty at its best. My goodness, she’s sexy,” another fan chimed in. Several followers even admitted that she was their first crush!

Salma Hayek Finds Her Swimsuit Snaps To Be ‘Liberating’

In 2021, the “Grown Ups” actress told Entertainment Tonight that she has saved bikini photos on her phone to share on her Instagram page throughout the year.

“I saved my pictures. I’m not in the same condition today and I’m spreading the love out like every two weeks,” she said at the time. “People are sick of it but I’m going to let them take a break. They’re going to think I’m wearing a swimsuit every day. No, they’re all from the same location.”

However, she added that she finds it “liberating” to take bikini photos, adding, “I’m glad I took a lot of pictures. I have no shame in it.”

In a February 2023 interview with Glamour, Salma embraced her age and the opportunities she is still receiving as an actress. “I thought getting older meant I wasn’t going to work; I’m working,” she said. “I thought getting older maybe meant that you’re not in love anymore; I’m in love. I don’t feel that I lost my flexibility or my agility or even my strength. I do have to say that I have found it beautiful, getting older with someone.”

In summary, it looks like Salma has no plans to stop posting bikinis snaps, despite what a few haters might say. Netizens also told “Baywatch” star Donna D’Errico that she was “too old” to wear a bikini last year, which led to her joining OnlyFans.
