Salma Hayek’s Plunging Leopard-Print Bathing Suit Featured Two Sexy Side Cutouts

Everyone's favorite swimwear influencer is back. After taking a months-long (four, to be exact) hiatus from posting her signature thirst traps to her Instagram grid, Salma Hayek returned to her regularly-scheduled programming to give the people what they want. 

On Wednesday, the actress traded in her usually itty-bitty bikinis for a one-piece that was just as sexy. Wearing a plunging leopard-print bathing suit with two skin-baring cutouts on each side, Hayek posed on the beach in an undisclosed tropical location, laying with her back in the sand by the water's shore as the sun is setting. Her dark brunette hair was worn down in natural waves.

"Sun 🌞 creatures," she captioned her post alongside the Spanish translation. Meanwhile, the next slide featured a video of an alligator in the wild, as it, too, soaked up the sunshine.

Ahead of her bikini break on social media, Hayek left us with plenty of snapshots to get by in honor of her 58th birthday. Back in September, the Frida star gifted her followers with not one, not two, but 18 barely-there bathing suit photos on Instagram.

Starting off her swimwear photo shoot strong, Hayek wore a plunging striped one-piece from Missoni, which she paired with a straw hat, chunky gold earrings, and cat-eye sunglasses. She then changed into a red and white bikini in a geometric print that was layered underneath a coordinating sheer coverup. Other swimsuits in the carousel included a classic black bikini with gold hardware and a purple and turquoise balconette two-piece.

“Birthday bikini dump, happy 58th birthday to me,” Hayek wrote in the caption, before adding a cheeky disclaimer for anyone who might think that the images were old photos: “P.S. none of these are throwbacks.”
