As she pretends to pull them loose, the clip cuts to Hayek Pinault dancing on top of a rooftop overlooking a mountainous backdrop with one hand in the air and the other gently grazing her abs.
Her dance moves don’t stop as she gets her triangular bikini top adjusted. After that’s all done, she continues to move confidently to the sound of the music.
At one point in the video, the camera pans closer to Hayek Pinault to show off the assortment of gold chains across her body.
Without missing a step, Hayek flips her hair as she dances in place to the music’s beat. The clip then cuts to some of the shots that were taken for the magazine.
“My cover of @sportsillustrated.mexico in now out in Mexico with a special edition 💃🏻🎉🇲🇽 #VIVAMEXICO,” Hayek Pinault wrote in the caption of the clip in English and Spanish.
It’s no surprise that Hayek Pinault is comfortable in a swimsuit, as she made her debut as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover girl for the American version of the special issue this year. Olivia ”Livvy” Dunne, Jordan Chiles and Lauren Chan also cover the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.
“Sports Illustrated Swimsuit has always been about more than swimsuits and stunning imagery,” MJ Day, the editor in chief of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, said of the Mexican actress’ first-ever cover.
“It’s about creating a platform to capture moments that define our times, celebrating people who are shaping culture, and showcasing beauty on a world stage,” she continued.
For Hayek Pinault, however, she couldn’t believe she was even considered for the honor, as she explained during an appearance on Today in March.
“I remember when I was young and hot, I used to look at this magazine,” said Hayek Pinault. “I wanted to see who was the new gorgeous model, the new girl of the moment. And it never crossed my mind that I could be on that cover because they didn’t look like me.”

“My body’s not necessarily the model type and I never thought that was a possibility,” she added. “And for it to happen when I’m 58? It’s really shocking.”
