Paulina Porizkova is confidently celebrating her natural beauty. The supermodel posted two unfiltered, makeup-free photos on Instagram, taken in different lighting, giving an authentic look at what life looks like at 60.
The 60-year-old Vogue supermodel captivated her 1.2 million Instagram followers with a striking post featuring two contrasting portraits — one in a glamorous bikini, the other in understated lingerie.
In the bikini image, she exuded effortless beauty, reclining in a lakeside cabana with luminous skin and flawlessly styled hair. By contrast, the lingerie shot, captured in harsher lighting, revealed a more candid and vulnerable side, as she appeared subdued and introspective.
She shared two contrasting snapshots of herself. “This is me — on vacation, in beautiful light, posing for the camera,” she wrote of the radiant bikini photo. Then, beside a more candid lingerie shot, she added, “This is also me — at home, in less-than-flattering light, not posing,” the ’80s icon remarked.
Porizkova closed with a candid meditation on aging: “This is 60. Sixty years of sometimes eating healthy, sometimes not. Sixty years of working out, then skipping it. Sixty years of doing the right things, then the wrong things — over and over. It’s a lifetime of learning what works and what doesn’t, and just when I think I’ve figured it out, everything changes, and I have to start again.”
She concluded with a perspective shift that only time can bring: “The beauty of 60 is knowing the value lies in the lesson itself — not in passing the exam.”
Porizkova’s fans praised her candor, filling the comments with gratitude and admiration. “We love how authentic and real you are—thank you for that! You’re beautiful,” one follower wrote. Another shared, “You make me feel completely normal. We all need to celebrate ourselves—the beautiful selves we are.”
Echoing that sentiment, someone else commented, “Thank you for being open and real. I often see posts of women saying, ‘This is me at [age],’ but it’s always a super flattering shot—never the unfiltered reality of our aging bodies. How can we accept ourselves if we never truly see ourselves?”
Even Alyssa Milano joined the chorus of praise, writing, “The most beautiful at any age and in any light.”
Paulina Porizkova is recognized for openly embracing the changes in her body. In January, the model revealed in an Instagram post that she had gained 15 pounds following double hip replacement surgery.
Porizkova shared that she had recently put on some weight — a change that initially worried her because it made it harder to fit into outfits for a job.
In a candid caption accompanying swimsuit photos from recent trips to Jamaica and Iceland with her boyfriend, she reflected on the experience. “I gained about 15 pounds after my bilateral hip replacement in early 2024,” Paulina wrote. “The funny thing is, I was so happy — free from chronic pain, building a life with my love, traveling with friends, and working on new writing projects — that I didn’t even notice the weight gain.”
The No Filter author was determined to shed the extra pounds but found herself facing what she called a “post-menopause bump.”
“No matter how little I ate, the weight refused to move,” she told her followers. She added weight training to her routine, boosted her protein intake, and cut out desserts entirely — yet nothing seemed to work.
Still, Porizkova has learned to appreciate her “new, fuller body.” “Compared to a year ago, when I was 15 pounds lighter but constantly in pain, this new softness feels comforting,” she shared.
In the meantime, Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson lit up the red carpet with their undeniable chemistry — something fans were quick to point out.
