Salma Hayek‘s casting photo from 1995 has gone viral nearly three decades later.
The actress, 58, was praised by fans after social media sleuths unearthed a Polaroid photo of her at the beginning of her acting career when she was just breaking into Hollywood.
The headshot was accompanied by her acting resume and appeared in Latina Magazine in 2018.
In reaction to the photo, social media users gushed about how she looked nearly the same as she does now despite how much time has passed.
The Desperado star — who showcased her chic sense of style while taking a smoke break and shopping last month — was lauded for her seemingly ageless beauty.
She wore a nude-colored, low-cut T-shrit with a gold cross pendant as she showed off her sultry smolder and her signature, voluminous dark hair.

Most recently, she starred opposite Channing Tatum in Magic Mike’s Last Dance, which was released in February 2023.
Earlier this year, she talked about her decades-spanning resume and said her acting career improved after she turned 40.
‘I would think every time, “This is the one. Now, you know, people are gonna bring me the good roles.” But it didn’t happen like that for me,’ she explained.
‘Even after I was nominated for an Oscar, the type of roles that I got didn’t change.’

About her most iconic, breakout role, she told the Wall Street Journal in October: ‘I don’t think there was one that opened so many doors; pictured August 1995 in Los Angeles
Hayek added: ‘What has opened the doors for me, it’s been my tenacity, my consistency. I just wouldn’t go away.
‘And it’s funny, just when they told me, like, “After a certain age, that’s it, your career is over.” That’s when my career started getting better.’
She continued: ‘They said, “You stop working at 40 in Hollywood.”
‘And here we are, 58, I’m still working.’
