When model Paulina Porizkova began posting photos of herself in bikinis well into her 50s, she never envisioned the backlash to be so cruel and vicious. However, she has risen above her naysayers to stick to her guns in advocating beauty at any shape, age or station in life – even a grandma of five with naturally graying hair.
Porizkova has long been an anti-aging advocate who has encouraged women – and men – of all ages to embrace themselves through the passage of time. She does a lot of this by walking the talk and posting photos of herself going make-up free or in bikinis. Speaking to “60 Minutes Australia” in March 2023, Porizkova lamented:
“I am a 57-year-old woman, and it seems to mean, in society, when you go into your middle age, you sort of lose your license to be able to show up in bikinis.”
She also told the program she had settled comfortably into the aging process and wasn’t looking to modify her features unnaturally.
“What I like about my face now at 57, it’s that it’s like a really good novel of the history of my life, like it’s all written into my face,” she said and added, “My desire is to be an unaltered older woman.”

Despite the harsh and brutal comments Porizkova elicits from her social media posts, she remained determined to advocate for self-love at any age.
“We have to make older cool, I’m really trying, but we need more women to sort of embrace age and keep trumpeting it out there, going ’look at what I’m doing at my age,’” she told “60 Minutes Australia.”
