‘She Did Something to Her Face’: Salma Hayek Turns Heads With Her Busty New Look, But Fans Can’t Stop Zooming In on the Real Surprise

Actress Salma Hayek is aging in reverse. The “House of Gucci” star, 59, has been appearing on the big and small screen for three decades, but the years have yet to fade her beauty.

The Mexican bombshell, who celebrated her 59th birthday in a hot red bathing suit, turned heads and left tongues wagging at the fourth annual Caring for Women Dinner on Sept. 11.

Hayek dazzled on the black carpet in a black, strapless, trench coat-inspired gown with a plunging neckline. She wore her hair in a half-up, half-down style with a high ponytail and kept her glam look on the subtle side, opting for a naturally bronzed glow with minimal eyeshadow and lip color.

What many fans witnessed was a timeless beauty. “How does she stay so young?” asked one person. A second admirer commented, “Salma really bout to be FINE till 90 and beyond.” A third said, “U had the teenager facelift too? Wow.”

But not even the glare of flashing lights and soft editing could pull the wool over eagle-eyed observers who suspect Hayek’s good looks are not gifted through genetics. As told by one naysayer, “She’s finally losing her looks smh.”

An outright critic presumed, “She did something to her face.” That theory was supported when one of Hayek’s followers commented on an Instagram post to allege, “In these photos you can see the swollen lips, if you inject them, it’s fine, with age they disappear… She still has a great figure and was always VERY hot.”

The “Like a Boss” star is adamant that she has not followed the gaggle of celebrities who have nipped and tucked their way to youthful appearances.

“I have no plastic surgery” and “no filler,” Hayek gushed to Allure beauty editor Dianna Singh in April.

But if she did want to reverse the signs of aging, cost would be the least of her concerns. It’s obvious her husband Francois-Henri Pinault, CEO and president of luxury holding group Kering, has no issues with his wife’s body or beauty. The couple married in 2009 and are parents to daughter Valentina, 17.

The 63-year-old’s business empire includes ownership of brands such as Balenciaga, Gucci, Yves Saint-Laurent, to name a few. Pinault’s net worth has been estimated at $31.2 billion.

Hayek’s entertainment endeavors have amassed her an estimated net worth of $200 million.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
