There have been a lot of unbelievable things to happen this year - many of which have left social media users shocked, in denial, and with their jaws firmly on the floor.
But perhaps the most inconceivable thing to happen throughout 2020 is the fact Salma Hayek turned 54 years old. I'll say that again: Salma Hayek is 54!
And the Mexican-American actress has once again left her fans in awe after posting a series of bikini pics in order to celebrate the final days of 2020.
Writing to her 16.8 million Instagram followers, the From Dusk Till Dawn star said: "Last days of 2020. Never been more grateful for being healthy and in contact with nature."

In the post, the actress can be seen posing in front of a hammock while wearing a bright pink bikini, lightweight beach shirt, sunglasses, and hat.
And in under 24 hours of posting, the snaps have already amassed over 1.2 million likes from Hayek's adoring fans, as well as more than 8,000 comments with social media users in total disbelief of the 54-year-old's "timeless" appearance.
One fan simply asked "Do you ever age[?]"
And a second compared the actress to a "fine wine", writing: "Selma selma selma........talk about aging like fine wine....goddamn gurl!"
Another gushing fan commented: "What year is this from? Can’t be recent. No one looks that good in their fifties."
The Like A Boss star has previously revealed some of her best beauty tips in an interview with The New York Times, telling the publication back in 2017:
"I never cleanse my skin in the morning. My grandmother taught me that at night your skin replenishes all the things you lost during the day. Also, if I cleanse very well at night, why would it be dirty when I wake up? It’s for companies to have you use more products.
"At night I take off my makeup with coconut oil. Then I use rose water to take off the residuals. You can use a hot towel with the rose water — you put a wet towel in the microwave — to do a little steam. I’ll use the chamomile cleanser from Nuance. Then I splash with cold water."

The 54-year-old beauty added: "I have an edible mask with Juice Generation that has hibiscus in it that I might use. Or you can use a little bit of oatmeal and then some water or almond milk, and a little bit of honey.
"You let it soak, and it’s a great cleanser that makes your skin very soft. But I don’t over-exfoliate. Exfoliating a lot may make you look good in the short term, but not I think in the long term."

And despite looking absolutely remarkable, it turns out that even Salma hasn't always been fully on board with the whole "getting older" thing.
Back in 2016, Hayek opened up about how she felt turning 50 in an interview with Harper's Bazaar. She said:
"Well I am entering my fifties so your body confidence isn’t that good. I think it depends on the day, for everybody, there’s some days you say, ‘This is it,’ and you love it. Then there are days when you go, ‘This can not be it! Is this really it?’ So I think it’s up and down all the time!"
