We all have to deal with becoming older as we go through life. As we age, everyone eventually gets wrinkles and sagging skin—even models.
She kept showing up in bikinis, but when she posted the pictures online, she got negative feedback.
To find out more about Paulina Porizkova’s life, keep reading.
Paulina Porizkova started her modeling career just fifteen years after her birth in 1965.
She has gradually gained notoriety in the modeling industry and has been on the covers of several prominent publications.
She had several appearances in magazines, TV shows, films, and music videos.
She has lately developed a reputation for being open and honest about a variety of topics, including aging, sadness, and loss.
Despite the criticism, she has almost 40 years of experience and is currently 57 years old, fully entrenched in the modeling profession. She continues to share pictures of herself online in bikinis.
“I am a 57-year-old woman, and it seems like you kind of lose your license to be able to show up in bikinis too when you get older in society.”
Porizkova talks a lot about the criticism she receives for promoting herself as a model at her age. She has heard comments like “too old to be doing this” and “a desperate grandma,” but she never takes it personally and stands up for herself.
She previously spent 28 years as the wife of the late leader of the venerable rock band The Cars, Ric Ocasek. The ex-supermodel was candid about the highs and lows their marriage had.
In the months leading up to his passing, she said, the two of them had essentially grown apart.
“I just noticed that we shared less and less, and we communicated less, and then he sort of stopped desiring me,” she said in an interview after his death.
“Since I was hitting my late 40s and early 50s, I think I figured, maybe he doesn’t fancy me because I’m getting older,” she stated, expressing her misgivings at the time.
But she still makes an effort to protect Ocasek’s memory of their fun moments spent together.
She now ardently advocates for women to age naturally without having aging-reversal surgery.
She wants more women will choose to accept their aging bodies and their innate beauty. “I want to be an older woman who hasn’t changed at all,” she said.
“What I like about my face now at 57, is that it’s like a really good novel of the history of my life, like it’s all written into my face,” she says, expressing respect for her aging appearance on many occasions.
She always reminds other older ladies and even younger ones of the importance of accepting oneself as you age and how it is a beautiful, natural process.
“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,’” the speaker added. “We have to make older cool, I’m really trying.”
She is gorgeous even at this age!
