Salma Hayek ditches her clothes for a swim as she celebrates turning 60: ‘Grateful’

Salma Hayek proved age is just a number as she ditched her clothes while skinny-dipping in honor of her 60th birthday.

The actress, whose birthday falls on Sept. 2, took to Instagram Monday to share sultry snaps of herself rolling around in the ocean.

A second photo showed her posing with her backside to the camera as she played around with her hair.

“60 and grateful,” Hayek captioned the photos.

Several fans gushed over the “Frida” star, with one writing, “60 yet ageless … Father Time must be smitten with you 😊.”

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

Hayek is no stranger to sharing beachfront thirst traps, though she usually wears bikinis.

Last year, she sported a red-hot two-piece swimsuit while celebrating her 59th birthday on a yacht.

At the time, the “Desperado” star was in party mode, holding up what appeared to be a cocktail.

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

That same year, the “Wild Wild West” star celebrated another major milestone as a cover star for the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

She dazzled in a green bikini while dripping wet during a poolside photoshoot.

Expressing her excitement over the opportunity, she said, “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.”

“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 has previously opened up about aging, telling People in April 2025 that she wasn’t trying to look younger, but did want to look good for her age.

“I just want my husband to still go, ‘Wow’ when he looks at me,” she explained, referring to her husband, François-Henri Pinault.

“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.”

Additionally, in 2023, she credited meditation as the secret behind her youthful appearance.
