Supermodel Paulina Porizkova, 60, proudly shows off her body in unfiltered snaps: ‘This is me’

Former supermodel Paulina Porizkova has broken industry norms by posting unfiltered bikini pics of herself, declaring “this is me” in raw before and after shots.

Paulina Porizkova is proudly showing her figure – minus the filters – at age 60.

The supermodel shared two snaps of herself on Instagram on Tuesday, highlighting the differences between one photo with a flattering angle and good lighting, and another photo without.

“This is me. Vacation, pretty light, posing for a shot,” she said of the first picture of her in a white bikini standing in front of a picturesque view.

“This is also me,” she shared of the second picture of herself in a nude bra and underwear in a bathroom, rocking grey hair. “Home, not great light, not posing.”

Porizkova admitted to experiencing ups and downs over the years when it comes to diet and exercise.

“This is 60. This is 60 years of sometimes healthy eating, sometimes not. 60 years of sometimes working out, sometimes not,” she wrote.

The supermodel wasn’t afraid to share a picture of herself in unflattering lighting.

“60 years of doing the right things followed by doing the wrong things and over again and again,” she continued. “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.”

Porizkova shared what she has learned to accept at this stage in her life.

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

The Swedish model, who is a spokesperson for Estée Lauder, has spoken out about ageing before.

“I feel like we’re so scared of wrinkles,” Porizkova said during an appearance on the US Today show in January.

“Have you noticed that? We’re so terrified of wrinkles because I suppose wrinkles make us no longer relevant, no longer sexy, no longer desirable, and as women, that has been sort of our calling card — it’s tagged with us for such a long time.”

“And I keep looking at wrinkles — mine, yours, any woman that I see — and I think, ‘It’s your map of life,’” she continued.

“I see how you are as a person. Why would you want to erase it? Why do we make wrinkles on the same par as acne?”

Earlier this month, the mother of two got engaged to producer Jeff Greenstein, six years after the death of her husband, Cars frontman Ric Ocasek.

Porizkova and Ocasek married in 1989 and welcomed two sons together — Jonathan, 31, and Oliver, 27 — before announcing their separation in 2018 after 28 years of marriage. He died in 2019.

She and Greenstein, who was the showrunner of Will & Grace, went public with their relationship in May 2023.
