Salma Hayek shows off her curves in a little black dress

Salma Hayek looks like a Hollywood screen siren as she shows off her curves in a little black dress while in Mexico

She's one of the world's most beautiful actresses, and Salma Hayek lived up to her reputation by squeezing her trademark curves into a little black dress while visiting her homeland, Mexico, this weekend.

The brunette beauty, 49, looked exquisite in her short sleeved black number as she waved at crowds from a balcony in Mexico City.

The beaming beauty was snapped out and about on Sunday after arriving in Mexico for the premiere of her animation film El Profeta.

Salma looked classy in her get-up as she showed off her trademark curves in a timeless little black dress.

The Hollywood siren oozed glam in the short-sleeved number that fell just above her knees.

The stylish star wore a pair of black tights to complete the look as she stepped out in Mexico.

Ever the trend-stetter, the brunette beauty's locks were styled big and bouncy after a curly blow-dry, and she kept her mane glossy, neatly trimmed and softly curled under to frame her face.

Salma accessorized with a black clutch bag and silver jewelry including a bling-tastic knotted chain bracelet.

She looked every inch the movie star by completing her polished look with a pair of sunglasses.

The From Dusk Till Dawn and Wild Wild West star let her natural beauty shine through by opting for a natural look, going for a peach lipstick and her lips were lined with soft brown pencil to perfect her pout.

Her cheeks were flush, with a touch of blush and a highlighter to accentuate her stunning cheekbones.

It's been a busy week for Salma, who was back in her homeland of Mexico illustrating she is a showstopper when it comes to walking a red carpet.

The brunette looked stunning in a black and white frock which had a bold print design of flowers at the photo call for The Prophet in Mexico City on Saturday.

The Prophet has been something of a labour of love for Salma - and has been successful in the locations it has so far been shown around the world.

She revealed her own daughter, Valentina Paloma, seven, was the voice of the little girl, Almitra in the French version of the film.

Appearing on Good Morning America in August she spoke about the animated feature which uses the poetry of famous Lebanese poet Khalil Gibran.

She said making it brought her closer to her grandfather and his memories.

Salma also revealed she wanted to help give inspiration and motivation to younger people who wanted to be creative with the movie: 'The words are timeless but now the words have images. So even for little ones, who might not understand every word they are getting poetry and the meaning of this amazing concepts through the images.'
