Salma's Instagram caption suited the mood of the images as she wrote: "I’m so happy to be alive and so profoundly grateful for all the blessings!!!!"

She further wrote: "My beloved family, my precious friends, my health, my work that keeps me going, my empowering team, my relationship with animals & nature, and the love of all my loyal fans. Happy 57th birthday to me!!!"

Salma looked gorgeous in the images where she could be seen wearing a red bikini with white trim.

Her style was enhanced as she preferred to keep her eyes under some cool shades.

Salma began her career in Mexico with starring roles in the telenovela Teresa (1989–1991) as well as the romantic drama Midaq Alley (1995). She soon established herself in Hollywood with appearances in films such as Desperado (1995), From Dusk Till Dawn (1996), Wild Wild West (1999), and Dogma (1999).

Hayek's portrayal of painter Frida Kahlo in the biopic Frida (2002), which she also produced, made her the first Mexican actress to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress.
