While many celebrities have embraced the thongkini trend [1] this season, Salma Hayek [2] still makes a case for the classic bikini. On 30 July, the Mexican-American actress took to Instagram [3] to show off moments from a scuba diving trip that featured a cheery photo with her instructor Martina Engel [4]. As the two friends held beers post-swim, Hayek bared her cleavage in a bright yellow bustier swimsuit top with triangle-shaped cups joined together with a chic bow. She kept things laid-back with her black diving suit over her lower-half, possibly covering a matching yellow bottom. Hayek's hair was styled in a messy ponytail, and she sported a face free of makeup.
Hayek's cemented herself as the queen of bikinis, often donning bra-inspired tops. In fact, she wore this same bikini on another boat outing [5] in April, proving that it's more than okay to repeat a swimsuit. The 56-year-old practically broke the internet in the suit when she posted a similar photo dump directly in front of the sunset. "Every time I need to feel renewed I jump into the ocean 🌊," she wrote. She also wore a grey version of the same two-piece [6] with oversize sunglasses while lounging on another boat in June. And, she rocked a Zimmermann patchwork set [7] for National Bikini Day last month.
Besides her affinity for two-piece swimsuits, the mum-of-one [8] has produced other noteworthy style moments. Hayek rang in the start of summer most grandly, wearing a black oversize sun hat [9] with a dark-wash denim corset and jeans from Alexander McQueen and a Mary Katrantzou midi dress [10] at a "Black Mirror" screening in New York on 13 June. The actor's daughter, Valentina Pinault, has also adopted outfit repeating [11], as she proudly wore her mum's old Isaac Mizrahi dress for the Oscars [12] in March when the two hit the red carpet together [13].
