The latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue has revealed its new covers, starring four remarkable women—including the timeless 58-year-old Salma Hayek. While the full issue won’t be available until May 17, the covers have already sparked excitement online.
Hayek appears on one of the covers wearing a deep green bikini and a striking malachite necklace, elegantly posing in a pool. Known for her work as an actress, director, producer, and advocate for women’s rights, Hayek’s feature celebrates both her beauty and her influential career.
Sports Illustrated editor-in-chief MJ Day praised Hayek, saying, “Salma Hayek represents the power of nature—as an artist, filmmaker, and defender of women’s rights.”
This year’s issue also highlights:
- Livvy Dunne, a celebrated LSU gymnast,
- Jordan Chiles, an Olympic gold medalist,
- Lauren Chan, a plus-size model promoting body inclusivity.
Day added, “Each woman on our covers this year has a distinct and meaningful story. Whether it’s her achievements, her influence, or the changes she inspires, every one of them embodies passion and determination in everything they do.”
Hayek’s inclusion continues Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s tradition of celebrating diverse beauty and empowerment. Fans eagerly await the full spread when the issue releases later this week.
