Paulina Porizkova, 60, Boldly Shows Off Her Body Without Filters Revealing the Reality of Aging

Paulina Porizkova is proudly embracing her natural beauty. The supermodel took to Instagram to share two unfiltered, makeup-free photos taken in different lighting, offering an honest glimpse into what it’s like to be 60.

The 60-year-old Vogue supermodel shared a striking Instagram post with her 1.2 million followers, featuring two contrasting images — one in a sultry bikini and the other in simple lingerie.

In the bikini shot, she appeared effortlessly flawless, lounging in a lakeside cabana with smooth skin and perfectly styled hair. In contrast, the lingerie photo showed her under harsher lighting, revealing a more vulnerable side as she appeared to be in low spirits.

“This is me. Vacation, pretty light, posing for a shot,” she wrote, describing the glowing bikini photo. She then reflected on the contrasting image: “This is also me. Home, not great light, not posing,” the ’80s icon said of the more candid lingerie shot.

Porizkova closed her post with a thoughtful reflection on aging: “This is 60. This is 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. It’s 60 years of learning of what works and what doesn’t. And just as I think I’ve figured it out, everything changes and I have to start again.”

“The beauty of 60 is that now I understand the importance is IN the lesson, not passing the exam.”

Porizkova’s fans applauded her honesty, flooding the comments section with messages of appreciation and support. “We love how authentic and real you are, thank you for that! You are beautiful,” one follower wrote. Another added, “You make me feel utterly normal, we all need to celebrate of us, the beautiful self.”

Echoing the same sentiment, someone else commented, “Thank you for sharing and being real. I often see images of women on here going ‘this is’ and then whatever age they are but it’s ALWAYS a super flattering photo not ever the realness of our ageing bodies. How are we ever going to accept ourselves if we’re not seeing ourselves.”

Even Alyssa Milano joined in with praise, writing, “The most beautiful at any age and in any light.”

Paulina Porizkova is known for confidently embracing the changes in her body. In January, the model shared in an Instagram post that she had gained 15 pounds after undergoing double hip replacement surgery.

Porizkova revealed that she had recently gained some weight, which initially concerned her because it affected her ability to fit into outfits for a job.

In a detailed caption accompanying several photos of herself in swimsuits during recent trips to Jamaica and Iceland with her boyfriend, she opened up about the experience. Paulina wrote, “I gained about 15 lb after my bilateral hip replacement in early 2024.” She continued, “The funny thing is, I was so happy with my life ; the end of chronic pain, building a life with my love, traveling with friends and working on new writing projects — that I had no idea I had gained all this weight.”

The No Filter author was determined to lose the weight but encountered a “post-menopause bump.”

“No matter how little I ate, the weight didn’t budge,” she shared with her followers. She incorporated weight-lifting into her workouts, increased her protein intake, and gave up desserts, yet none of these efforts made a difference.

Despite the challenges, Porizkova has embraced her “new, fuller body.” “Compared to a year ago when I was 15 lbs. less but in constant pain, my new softness feels soothing,” she explained.

Meanwhile, Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the red carpet — and fans were quick to notice the same thing.
