How Salma Hayek Lost All of Her Swimsuits Before Her Sports Illustrated Debut

Salma Hayek says gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit was a “spontaneous adventure,” but it almost didn’t happen! Access Hollywood interviewed the actress on May 15 in New York City at the launch party for the magazine’s 2025 issue, and Salma revealed that the suitcase containing dozens of swimsuits — with custom alterations — was lost in transit. The team was forced to pivot at the last minute, but the “House of Gucci” star still looked stunning. Salma also spoke about deciding to go topless for the shoot and what sea creature made a “magical” cameo.
