Salma Hayek recently enjoyed some family time on a vacation getaway, and she was sure to share highlights with her followers. The actress took to Instagram to share a photo of herself in a patterned blue bikini as she tried to step out of the ocean-blue water. From her caption, and the picture quality, it seems she didn't get a perfect shot as she appeared to be shielding herself from splashing water. Regardless of the chaotic shot, Hayek looked as gorgeous as ever in her two-piece swimsuit, which she accessorized with a layered necklace, and her wet lush hair let down. Her skin glowed in the natural lighting, and her makeup-free face appeared youthful and wrinkle-free.

Hayek began her career at 23 as a Mexican actress in telenovelas like Teresa and the ‘90s romantic drama Midaq Alley. She also appeared in the record-breaking film, El Callejón de los Milagros, which arguably holds the most awards in Mexican history. In the mid-90s, she set her sights on Hollywood, starring in productions like Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn, Wild Wild West, and Dogma. Her breakthrough act came in 2002 when she played painter Frida Kahlo in the biopic Frida, which earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress, and the first Mexican actress to achieve such a feat. FRIDA, Salma Hayek (as Frida Kahlo), 2002, ©Miramax Films/courtesy Everett Collection Hayek reportedly worked hard to play Frida, during a time when her kind was sidelined, and white actresses like Meryl Streep and Jessica Lange were being considered instead. The mother of one secured access to Frida’s paintings by approaching the administrator for the rights of Frida and her husband Diego Rivera’s art, Dolores Olmedo Patino. She also negotiated with Harvey Weinstein and Miramax to assume the film’s rights from TriMark studios and asked Alfred Molina to play Rivera during his 1998 Broadway play Art. FRIDA, Salma Hayek, 2002, (c) Miramax/courtesy Everett Collection Hayek’s hard work on Frida, which involved attending to creative decisions and even learning to paint, eventually paid off as it imprinted her name in the Hollywood industry. Before Frida, Hayek had received Glamour Magazine's Woman of the Year Award, and she went on to snag Time Magazine's 25 Most Influential Hispanics Award in 2005. She also starred in and produced action-packed works like Once Upon a Time in Mexico, After the Sunset, and Bandidas as well as comedies such as The Grown Ups series, The Hitman’s Bodyguard, and as a voice actor in 2016’s Sausage Party.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Salma Hayek Pinault (@salmahayek) Hayek became a mother to Valentina Paloma Pinault in 2007, just a few weeks after her 41st birthday. On Valentine’s Day in 2009, Hayek and Valentina’s father and French businessman François-Henri Pinault tied the knot at the 6th Arrondissement City Hall in Paris, and their barely two-year-old daughter was their flower girl. Hayek has often been vulnerable about raising her first child in her 40s and had to take a hiatus from acting to raise her.

Hayek is also a dedicated stepmother to Pinault’s older children— François, Mathilde, and Augustin. “I always wanted to have a lot of children, and I was not able to,” she once admitted, noting that “the huge blessing I've had is that my husband has three other children. So I have four. And they are all so different.”
