Salma Hayek STUNS in steamy Gucci one-piece swimsuit
In a new snapshot posted on Monday, November 29, Salma Hayek flaunted her cleavage in an Original Gucci one-piece swimsuit. The 55-year-old actress shared a photo of herself wearing the scoop-necked swimsuit as she emerged from a pool to sip lemonade. 'This is not my Gucci wardrobe, but I definitely suggest it nevertheless,' Salma said in the post, adding a grinning emoji.
'Este no es mi vestuario en la película “La Casa Gucci” pero de todos modos se las recomiendo mucho.' the Mexico-born stunner said in Spanish. The black halter swimsuit was embossed with a gold and silver 'Original Gucci' emblem and was released in the pre-2020 Fall collection. In the photograph, which was shot from the waist up, the brunette beauty's wet hair strands cascaded down her shoulders.

Salma wore no makeup and only sported her magnificent 5-carat engagement ring, which her rich husband, François-Henri Pinault, had given her. Salma portrays Pina Auriemma, a television fate teller and tarot card reader who advises Patrizia Reggiani in House Of Gucci. She subsequently assists Patrizia in a conspiracy to assassinate Maurizio Gucci, her ex-husband and former CEO of Gucci.
In the film, Pina and Patrizia go to a ritzy resort for a mud bath to commemorate Patrizia's 1994 divorce from Maurizio. Salma Hayek, who said she had to add "extra kilogrammes" to portray Pina, described filming the mud bath sequence as "horrific" during an appearance on James Corden's Late Late Show.
"I've never done a mud bath," Hayek said to James before revealing that her assumptions for how it would go were utterly incorrect. When she recounted going into the bath, she said, "Once you're in, you're nude." 'Well, not really — we had something below but nothing on top – and the point is, I was convinced I was going to drown,' she recounted.
Gaga slid into the water 'like an Egyptian queen,' but Salma had a different experience. 'With my additional pounds, I sit in the dirt and don't sink.' And I'm trying to move some weight by pulling the muck away from my massive butt.'
'And then it begins moving me about, and then there are the boobs going [like] this,' she explained as she kicked her legs up and reclined on the couch during the interview, reenacting how her body sloshed around. She went on to explain that they were filming a "really intense moment" and that Gaga was "trying to keep focused" while flailing around. "I couldn't recall the lines," she said. "It was terrifying... the most difficult sequence I've ever done," she insisted.
"...but I play the psychic who is not beautiful, not good looking like everyone else," she joked during the interview about her character in the very glamorous film, adding that the weight she had to gain for the job was "difficult" to lose. Pinault and her 14-year-old daughter Valentina Paloma were in attendance as the Academy Award winner earned her plaque on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on November 19.
House of Gucci had a record-breaking debut weekend, grossing $14.2 million in three days and $21.8 million in five, making it the biggest opening weekend for a drama in two years.
Critics, on the other hand, have given the Ridley Scott-directed film mixed reviews. "Watching House of Gucci is like enduring a hurricane," Tom Ford stated, while the Gucci family issued a harsh statement, saying, "This is tremendously hurtful from a human point of view and a disrespect to the legacy on which the brand is founded today."
