Salma Hayek is Allure's September cover girl, and she shows off her assets in the Mario Testino-lensed photo shoot. Salma is currently filming The Savages in California, and in the magazine, she is promoting her upcoming animated movie Puss in Boots as well as her new self-named Salma Hayek skincare, cosmetics, and hair product line, which is sold at CVS. Salma also opened up about the lifestyle she and husband François Pinault are able to provide for their daughter, Valentina, and the actress is happy to show the 4-year-old the world. Check out Salma Hayek's full sexy shoot on Allure.com, and here are the highlights from the interview:

On what changed with her body over the past 10 years: "My boobs; they’re not bad, by the way. I’m not complaining about them."
On getting sexier with age: "As a woman, you should be more at ease with your sexuality when you are in your 40s. You are more self-assured about that part. And that's the way it should be. If you are a girl who cannot walk in heels, it doesn't matter how beautiful you are. If you look like a chicken that's been spiked in the feet, it's not going to be sexy."
On her sexy image: "When I first started, I found that I had to play the part of something they could swallow in Hollywood, which was the sexy Latin girl. I was not dressing like that in Mexico."
On her luxurious lifestyle: "I never understood the point of being privileged if you don’t get to have the privileges. Like, people who won’t take their kids to an expensive restaurant or won’t travel with them or make them pay for everything at a really young age. I think it’s important that kids have responsibilities and understand the value of things, but I think it’s great I get to travel the world with my daughter."

I'm sure Donald Trump's daughter ALWAYS was privileged and she grew up to be a successful, intelligent and determined woman who can be a great role model to anyone. It's up to parents and their culture to make the best of their kids. Considering Salmas little educational level and the way she exposes herself you guys are probably right though.

Her husband is worth over 10 billion dollars. I don't expect them to live like they're poor, but giving the kid everything she wants is only going to raise a brat, a la Suri Cruise.

I think if you can afford something, I don't see why not, but the kids need to learn not to take anything for granted. Therefore the kid should get a treat every now and again. I'm not sure.

I agree with all of you. How dare she enjoy all the money she and her husband worked for and then rub it under our noses. She really needs to just shut up about it... Despite the fact we already know she lives a lux life, she doesn’t have to say it... Damn her...

@littlemunchkin - her kid is NEVER going to want for anything or have to earn a living unless she chooses to do so. salma's comment about living the luxe life are obnoxious seeing how so many people are unemployed and can't make ends me.

I love the pictures, and I can't believe Valentina is four already! But i agree with #3 I found what she said about privileges a bit odd...If her child never learns to earn money and pay for herself, she's gonna struggle!

Salma looks amazing! I LOVE that dress on the cover.

Not sure I agree with her point of view on bringing up children with "privileges".. Why would a 4 year old need expensive clothes, expensive restaurants, fancy furniture? If kids only know luxury, good luck raising them to be normal adults.

No, they aren't bad at all. She is a sexy lady. It's been awhile since she's promoted herself in magazines or the screen. Glad to see her return. Here's hoping for more.
