Salma Hayek takes a moment from her busy life to honor National Sunglasses Day


UPDATED JUNE 28, 2019 10:08 AM EDT

With summer being officially here it feels like every day should be National Sunglasses Day, however, the must-have accessory has its very own special day which falls on June 27. Few people might know this, and one of those people is Salma Hayek. The Mexican actress took a moment to remind us of the day (is it a holiday?) with a photo in which she appears relaxed over a hammock wearing – you guessed it – a pair of oversized sunglasses.

The 52-year-old star looks ultra-stylish nonetheless in a green halter jumpsuit featuring colorful embroidery and a ‘70s-inspired silhouette. “Happy National Sunglasses Day!!!” she wrote next to the iconic face emoji wearing dark sunnies. As per usual, the mother-of-one has been keeping busy, you know, being a movie star and all, and just recently it was announced she might be starring on a new gig.

It seems Salma is in early talks to join Marvel’s The Eternals. Created by Jack Kirby in 1976, the storyline focuses on a race of ancient human beings (known as the Eternals), and if all goes as said, Salma would appear opposite Richard Madden and Kumail Nanjiani. No further details have been disclosed about her role, but we imagine it will be an imperative one to the film.

However, one of her new roles we do know about is her latest for Amazon’s upcoming sci-fi drama titled Bliss. The Beatriz at Dinner actress took to social media to announce her new character of Isabel in which she stars next to Owen Wilson.
