Salma Hayek has captivated audiences worldwide with her performances, striking beauty and unwavering commitment to empowering women in the entertainment industry. Born on Sept. 2, 1966, in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico, Hayek went from her humble beginnings in Mexico to becoming a global icon and one of the most powerful Latina women in the entertainment industry.

Hayek was born to a Lebanese-Mexican father and a Mexican opera-singing mother. After completing her education in Mexico and finding some fame with her roles in Mexican telenovelas, Hayek decided to pursue an acting career in the United States. In 1991, she moved to Los Angeles and faced the initial challenges of breaking into the highly competitive Hollywood industry. Despite encountering numerous rejections, she remained determined and eventually caught the attention of renowned director Robert Rodriguez, who cast her in the film “Desperado” in 1995 opposite Antonio Banderas. This breakthrough role marked the beginning of a fruitful partnership between Hayek and Rodriguez, leading to collaborations on films like 1996’s “From Dusk Till Dawn” and 2003’s “Once Upon a Time in Mexico.”

Hayek's major breakthrough came in 2002 when she starred as Frida Kahlo in the biographical drama “Frida.” Hayek's portrayal of the iconic Mexican painter earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. Hayek continued to captivate audiences with her performances in films such as “Fools Rush In,” “Wild Wild West,” “Bandidas” and “Grown Ups.” 

Hayek's love life has also been the subject of media attention. She has been linked to actors such as Edward Norton and Josh Lucas. However, it was French billionaire François-Henri Pinault who finally won her heart, and the pair traded “I do’s” in Paris on Valentine’s Day 2009. Together, they have a daughter named Valentina Paloma Pinault, who was born in September 2007.

Hayek’s roles in films have exuded beauty and confidence, which complements her alluring physique and sizzling charisma. Despite now being in her 50s, she remains one of the most beautiful actresses working in Hollywood. The star is also unafraid to embrace aging and flaunt her natural process of getting older. On multiple occasions, she has taken to her social media to highlight the signs of aging, such as wrinkles and graying hair, that many women would rather hide. 

In September 2020, the actress posted a selfie without a lick of makeup on her face that also showed off her graying roots. The caption read:

"The white hair of wisdom.”

Hayek is no stranger to flaunting her natural beauty. On May 4, 2023, she posted several pictures of herself barefaced with undereye masks on as she and her equally famous friend, Spanish actress Penelope Cruz, were getting ready for the Met Gala. She again posted an au naturel photo of herself wearing only a bathrobe with her hair and face undone on June 2, 2023, and looked radiant.

A few days later, she posted an up-close and personal selfie of her makeup-free face again to flaunt her graying hair. “Me waking up and counting how many white hairs and wrinkles have crashed the party this morning,” she wrote in the caption.

Her fans took to the comments section to express how thrilled they were by the star’s confidence.

“With or without wrinkles with or without gray hair with or without makeup you are beautiful,” one user wrote, while another said, “White hairs & wrinkles are like the crown of wisdom for the women 🥰 You are beautiful just the way you are, mamá.”

A third user remarked, “Natural beauty is ageless💚💚 love the #filterfree #makeupfree pic.”

Her photos have no doubt been a hit with users, and the star celebrated hitting a milestone of 24 million Instagram followers on May 16, 2023. Hayek marked the occasion by posting a fun video of herself breaking into a salsa dance while prepping for an event. In the clip, one of Hayek’s friends was seen carrying a speaker that was blasting music. The star simply couldn’t resist the beat and got up from her make-up chair while wearing only a bathrobe to start letting loose. Her moves were so contagious that the other women in the room started to move to the beat. Hayek was so caught up in the rhythm and fun of it all that she seemed to forget she was only wearing a robe, and parts of the clip were blurred to keep from revealing too much of the actress’s body as the robe slipped off her several times.

Fans were thrilled by Hayek’s moves, while many also took to the comments to jokingly request an uncensored version of the video.

“Where can we get the uncut, uncensored version? Asking for a friend,” one comment read, while another user wrote, “There’s something wrong with this video it keeps going blurry.”

A third user remarked: “The best part is the censor 😂 you know you’re living your best life while dancing and it all comes out!!” Another fan said, “Is @salmahayek aging backwards……not fair ❤️”

Hayek is not the only one in her family with a talent for pulling out sweet dance moves. On Mother’s Day 2023, she posted an adorable video of her mother dancing with her daughter, Valentina, and the pair were naturals on the dance floor. The caption read:

“How precious are the moments of connection with mothers, grandmothers, daughters and sons.”
