This past Tuesday, March 22, was World Water Day, and Salma Hayek celebrated on Instagram. The House of Gucci star posted an alluring photo of herself taking a dip amongst some stunning scenery.

Hayek donned a beautiful dark blue swimsuit that showed off her voluptuous chest and let her natural brunette locks flow by her sides, wet from the serene blue-green waters she was swimming in.

The area is enclosed by large, statuesque rocks that allow beams of sunlight to stream through them and glisten across the calm waves.

While it’s hard not to focus on Hayek’s spectacular body (I mean, who looks that good at age 55!?), her intention was not to be the star of this photo.

Hayek is placed off-center, with her face slightly blurred, presumably from emerging out of the water moments before.

Hayek has no issue showing off her physique, as she’s already posted multiple bikini photos in 2022 alone, but this post served a higher purpose than just displaying her alluring curves.

The glowing water is truly the focal point of this image, which is most likely why it was chosen as her “World Water Day” celebration post.

World Water Day is a day of awareness for the 2.2 billion people worldwide without access to clean, safe water. It is also a day of appreciation for those who take water for granted. Hayek said it best in her Instagram caption.

“Today is #nationalwaterday but let’s not forget any day how precious water is. Hoy es el #dianacionaldelagua pero que no se nos olvide ningún día, que el agua es un tesoro”

The Mexican-American actress wrote the caption in English and Spanish so her audience could understand the importance of World Water Day.

We appreciate Hayek’s passion for her activism and look forward to more enthralling Instagram posts in the future!

While Salma Hayek’s recent World Water Day post celebrates an environmental cause, the actress is no stranger to using social media to give fans glimpses of her personal and professional life. In addition to sharing moments that raise awareness, she sometimes adds a touch of humor and mystery, even with her closest loved ones. One such instance was when she kept a playful secret from her husband about an unexpected movie role.

Salma Hayek’s Playful Secrets and Surprising Roles

Keeping a secret from a spouse can be a complicated matter. In August 2016, Salma Hayek revealed that she kept a small secret from her husband — French businessman François-Henri Pinault — while filming her latest movie, “Sausage Party.”

The Dusk Till Dawn actress attended the Los Angeles premiere of the animated film and revealed that she kept her role a secret from her husband until the trailer came out. The reason? She played a lesbian taco.

What a time to be alive, folks.

It was surprising to see Salma trading her usual YSL platform heels for a Brian Atwood satin platform peep toe.

However, the actress didn’t stray too far from her go-to brand. Both her sheer top and fully-sequined wide-legged pants are from Saint Laurent. Salma finished her look with jewelry from Beth Miller.

She thought her role as a lesbian taco, Teresa del Taco, was so “outrageous” that she wanted to surprise her husband with it. Salma showed him the trailer and told him that the film was not for children.

The short actress claimed that she would probably never get to play a lesbian taco again (we think so, too), but the role was so outrageous that it was funny, so she decided to give it a go.

You can order a Brian Atwood platform pump similar to Salma’s, only with a golden applique at the back, at Amazon.
