At 57, Paulina Porizkova Posed in a Bikini and Fans Are So Inspired

Paulina Porizkova is reflecting on her superpower. In a new Instagram, the supermodel shared a topless bikini photo from a past St. Maarten beach vacation. Four years ago, she went on the trip with friends, who snapped the shot after telling her what they believed her “superpower” to be: making women feel beautiful.

In the photo, Porizkova stands before a striking sunset, the waves crashing in behind her. She wears only bikini bottoms with her hand strategically placed over her chest, giving the camera a soft smile.

Beneath the post, Porizkova wrote that she was “stunned” to hear her friends say that she uplifted women in such a special way, mostly because, as a model, she was often “accused of the opposite,” she wrote. “My image, I had been told, had been making women feel bad about themselves for decades.”

She continued: “But what my girlfriends were saying, was that my presence made them feel beautiful. Looking at me made women feel bad, but hearing me made them feel good.”

With a similar sentiment, she added that she likes to be intentional about complimenting people, especially because she doesn’t often receive them. “Everyone always thinks I get nothing but compliments all day long. So my friends and lovers, making the assumption I know and hear it all the time, very rarely give me one,” she wrote. “I understand how it feels to be told by someone that you are beautiful to them. And the opposite.”

So, she makes sure to throw in a “Nice shirt!” or “Love your smile!” where she can. “Is it shallow? Is it superficial? Maybe,” she wrote. “But who cares when the result is a heartfelt smile and a little extra bounce in the step.”

In her opinion, there’s something to love, uplift, and compliment in everyone. “Every woman is beautiful in her own and unique way,” she concluded. “Why not celebrate it?”

Fans and followers loved the post and agreed with Porizkova’s friends that her presence does, in fact, make women feel better. “I would add to that - you make us feel like we matter. Which is beautiful ❤️❤️❤️,” one person commented. “They are right! You always make me feel beautiful. ♥️??” another added. “The honesty and vulnerability is so powerful ???❤️ and YOUR BOOK IS AMAZING!! It’s like a little movie each chapter!” someone else wrote.

Porizkova’s memoir, No Filter, released November 15, and she has chronicled the ups and downs of the publishing experience on Instagram, including a raw makeup-free selfie on its emotional release day, and behind-the-scenes stories of the spicy lingerie photo that ultimately became her book cover.

Her beloved honesty is the constant that has carried her through the sharing process, and it’s what will propel her journey.
