Paulina Porizkova: Embracing Age with No Filter and Full Confidence
SIZZLING IN HER 60s: Paulina Porizkova Sheds Light on Aging, Beauty Standards, and Financial Struggles
Get ready for a dose of sass, sophistication, and unapologetic honesty from the one and only Paulina Porizkova! The stunning 60-year-old supermodel is still turning heads with her latest Instagram post, showcasing not one but two sizzling looks that prove she's got nothing to hide – or show off.
The Vogue cover girl and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue favorite flaunted a flawless string bikini body lounging by a serene lake in a cabana. Meanwhile, in a more candid snap, Porizkova was seen rocking some luscious nude-toned lingerie, her expression a bit downbeat due to the less flattering light.
But what caught our attention is not just her age-defying beauty – it's the way she proudly owns both looks and shares her unfiltered thoughts on aging. "This is me," she began writing about the bikini photo. "Vacation, pretty light, posing for a shot." The lingerie image? "This is also me. Home, not great light, not posing."
Porizkova then let loose with some brutally honest insights: "60 years of sometimes healthy eating, sometimes not. 60 years of sometimes working out, sometimes not. 60 years of doing the right things followed by doing the wrong things and over again and again." She continued to share her wisdom on aging, acknowledging that it's a journey of trial and error – but one where she's finally come to appreciate the importance of self-acceptance.
"60 is about learning what works and what doesn't. And just as I think I've figured it out, everything changes, and I have to start again," she shared with her 1.2 million followers. "The beauty of 60 is that now I understand the importance is IN the lesson, not passing the exam." Talk about a sage perspective from someone who's been there!
We must admit, we're hooked on Porizkova's unapologetic attitude and willingness to tackle tough topics head-on. Her celebrity fans can't get enough of her authenticity either! "Stunner," Charisma Carpenter gushed. "But also, fierce, intuitive, a talented writer, resilient, empathic, and so very intelligent." Alyssa Milano chimed in: "The most beautiful at any age and in any light."
This isn't the first time Porizkova has shared her candid thoughts on aging. Last year, she opened up to SheKnows about how she used to take her body for granted. Now, as a deliberate effort to prioritize her health, she explained that staying in shape takes "much more time and effort" but allows her to truly appreciate the beauty of the world – pain included.
But there's more to Porizkova's life than just her stunning looks and age-defying wisdom. In 2023, she wrote a memoir called No Filter, where she revealed the financial struggles she faced after learning she was left out of her late husband Ric Ocasek's will. The couple was married from 1989 until his passing in 2019.
"I wish I could have just told people on Instagram how f**ked up my situation was," Porizkova confessed to thescholarlynote.com, "but I had to set boundaries on what I'd reveal because it might have affected the sale of our house." The model shared that she was forced to sell her home due to financial constraints and admitted: "I lost quite a good amount of money doing so."
In a surprising revelation, Porizkova joked about writing a scripted TV series based on her own life – where the protagonist is a woman who's struggling financially but tries to keep up appearances. Sounds like something we'd binge-watch in a heartbeat!
Porizkova's #NoFilter post has been making waves online, and it's clear why: she's not afraid to speak truth to power, share her vulnerabilities, and show us that age is just a number. So, go ahead, join the conversation and let's give it up for this supermodel who's got nothing but love and sass to spare!
