Let Salma Hayek teach you how to master posing in a bathing suit this summer

This image personifies the feeling of being relaxed and free. Even though Salma’s big smile is the photo’s main protagonist, there’s no denying that her elegant navy blue swimsuit, which contrasts perfectly with the blue sky and green bushes in the background, also captures a great deal of attention. The best part about a swimsuit with a plunging neckline like this one is that it’s great for women who want to reinforce the bust area with proper support. Also, keep in mind that this pose itself is great for slenderizing the figure.

In a leopard print that adds character to this monokini, Salma recreates a look from the golden age of Hollywood; not only with the print, but with the details like the classic pose, the fabulous tan and the retro sunglasses. Take note if you’re looking for a pose that flatters your figure and elegantly defines your curves.

When we talk about relaxed poses, this is exactly what we are referring to. A lovely printed bikini is the perfect swimsuit to make you look great under the water.

Salma emphasizes her waist in this pose by using only one arm to support herself. In a two-tone design, which is a big trend this year, the actress defines her figure with these high-rise bikini bottoms, reminiscent of the 1980s; they’re also great for elongating the legs.

By raising up the arms, the body stays in an upright position, which is a great pose for flattering your figure, since it makes you look slim and toned, like the actress. Also, wearing a dark, solid-colored bikini top with wide straps is an excellent choice for women with a larger bust.

A one-piece black swimsuit, could there be any better way to look slim on the beach? Salma chose the best swimsuit for highlighting her body’s features, and all women’s features, when taking photos. She also knows that accessories are important, so sunglasses and a hat are perfect for adding a touch of personal style.

If you don’t associate summer with relaxation, then you need to take a long look at this photo of Salma and convince yourself that the only thing that should matter is the sun, sunscreen and your swimsuit. For this picture, she wanted to make herself stand out from the glistening pool water, and of course, the giant inflatable swan, so she opted for a bright fuchsia color bikini, making it clear that the best way to flaunt your tan is with a color that pops.

It seems like playing with the light is this actress’ magical trick to looking great in her photos, since you’ll notice she always faces the sun to avoid creating any unpleasant shading.

Naturally, we couldn’t forget to point out this bikini’s lilac color, which in addition to accentuating her tan, is a must-have during these months of warm weather.

When it comes to sensuality and creativity, there’s no better photo than this one. Salma shows us that lying in the sand is a great way to pose for pictures. And here, where the movement of the waves also comes into play, we learn a great lesson on how to look both sexy and relaxed. It is also a great pose for showing off her mauve-colored one-piece swimsuit, which brings out her olive skin and accentuates her entire body.
