With an alluring accent, jet-black tresses, and a bodacious body, Salma Hayek makes her way into 2007 as our It Girl of the month.
Long before she was Sofia Reyes on this season’s TV hit Ugly Betty, Hayek reached superstar status in her native Mexico playing the title role in the beloved telenovela Teresa. Soon after her move to the United States, Hollywood was smitten. Movie deals poured in for roles that varied from a voluptuous vampire in From Dusk Till Dawn to a heavenly muse in Dogma. And who can forget Hayek's famous unibrow and Oscar nod portraying the celebrated Mexican painter Frida Kahlo in the biopic Frida?
With the release of her new movie Keep Coming Back in which she plays a stripper, this year promises to be anything but dull. And the star is as gifted at choosing her men as she is at selecting her films: Her list of former flames includes Hollywood hunks Josh Lucas and Edward Norton.
Never a fashion wallflower, Hayek isn't afraid to show some skin and exhibit her ample assets, often opting for low-cut, curve-clinging clothes. Her perpetual glow, perfectly groomed brows, and enviable figure set her apart from many other Hollywood stars. Salma Hayek deserves all the accolades, and so we celebrate her as our It Girl for January 2007.
