Salma Hayek, 56, leans into Barbiecore trend in plunging pink swimsuit: 'Beautiful'

Move over Bikini Barbie, there's a new poolside diva in town.

Salma Hayek channelled her inner Barbie like a boss over the weekend, taking to Instagram to post a series of smokin' snaps of herself rocking a hot pink swimsuit and frolicking in the water with husband, François-Henri Pinault.

Showing off her famous curves, the 56 year old star of Black Mirror wrote, "Enjoyed the great blessings of sun, water and love #grateful," also sharing the same message in Spanish with a bilingual caption below.

After the Greta Gerwig-directed Barbie film smashed box office records over the weekend, Salma gave a subtle nod to the film as she soaked in the sun in a bold pink swimsuit with plunging neckline; a choice that would undoubtedly win Barbie's seal of approval.
