Salma Hayek goes topless in a very sexy and tasteful photo shoot for Allure magazine.

The 48-year-old actress is on the cover for Allure's August issue. The bombshell posed nearly nude for the magazine which was done tastefully. The Mexican actress has aged gracefully judging from her fit figure as well as her timeless beauty.

According to People, the producer-actress was dolled up in a simple manner. With her hair curled and pinned up, minimal makeup and jewelry, Hayek really stood out.

"I got to work with the wonderful Patrick Demarchelier, and he always tries to do the minimum clothes possible. I kept my pants on though," Hayek said.

Although she posed topless with both her hands covering her modesty, she thinks that the final product "looked very nice" and "doesn't look vulgar." The "Frida" actress also admitted that she was shy and nervous at the beginning of the shoot.

"I was very nervous and I think I looked very uncomfortable at the beginning. I mean, you can't see anything. Don't get excited!" Salma said.

The actress opened up about her ageless beauty and revealed that the industry once tried to sell her the idea of Botox.

"When I was young, they tried to sell me on the idea [of Botox]: 'If you do it now, then you won't get the wrinkles.' And thank God I didn't do that," she said. "I think we change, and that's part of the beauty of being a woman. We get to be our own canvas every day when you wake up."

In another report by New York Daily News, she confessed that she was once afraid that she wouldn't find love. That was before she met her husband Francois-Henri Pinault. She spoke about her experiences in dating and the realizations that came after dating the "wrong" ones.

"I wish I knew [when I was younger] that I was going to fall crazy in love with the perfect man. I was so worried, and I dated some people I shouldn't have dated. You get desperate, and you start seeing wonderful things in, like, the wrong guys," she told Allure. "I also found some pretty good guys. But I wish I could say to myself, 'Hey, chill out. You're going to get a great husband that's going to adore you.' I would have saved myself a lot of personal drama."

After giving birth to her daughter Valentina, the actress admitted that she wanted to take a break from the movie industry but it was her husband that encouraged her not to.

"(He said), 'I don't want to be deprived of your work. I want to watch it, too. And the world has not seen the best of you yet,'" Salma revealed.
