Paulina Porizkova, 60, Stuns Fans With Candid Clip: ‘Spectacularly Unflattering’ originally appeared on Parade.
Legendary supermodel Paulina Porizkova isn’t afraid to have a bit of fun at her own expense. A new social media post from the former Dancing with the Stars contestant and America’s Next Top Model judge provided an honest take on aging, and fans loved her for it.
On August 5, Porizkova shared a short video on her Instagram page. Text over the video read, “Oh… Oops!” and she explained what she meant in the caption.
“You know, that spectacularly unflattering angle when you’re looking down at your phone, and accidentally film yourself! So much for ‘oh, aging is easy for you, Miss Supermodel.'”
Of course, Porizkova didn’t have to share the brief video that showed her from an unflattering angle. However, she chose to do so to allow her to make an important point about aging.
Regarding aging, Porizkova wrote, “It’s easy only for those who have never cared what they look like, spent a lifetime pursuing noble goals, and are in perfect health.”
She quipped, “Those of you who qualify, I bow to you: You’re karmically waaaay ahead of me.” Porizkova continued, “For the rest of us: I love my age. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. I wouldn’t trade it for any other age.”
Despite that, Porizkova admitted that it’s work to accept her changing looks as she ages.
“Having relied on my looks for most of my life as a part of my personality, this physically aging stuff demands an inner courage I’m still working on,” she acknowledged.
At the same time, Porizkova added, aging is “also a privilege of which I am absolutely conscious and grateful.”
Porizkova added a handful of hashtags at the end of her caption. One joked she was between Jennifer Lopez and Betty White, and another declared, “This is 60.”
The supermodel’s message rang true with her fans.
“That angle gives me a fright regularly, and then I step back and give myself some grace. Thanks for being so honest,” commented one supporter.
“It’s very affirming that you are as vulnerable as non-models,” a fan noted.
Someone else added, “Oh you nailed it as at our age this is the reality and I too embrace it! As one person here commented, ‘age is not a crime’!! YAAAAS!”
