'80s Model Paulina Porizkova Gave Detractors A Reality Check About Aging: She's 'More Grateful' Now

Paulina Porizkova has something to say to those who comment about her weight. The '80s supermodel addressed the unsolicited weight loss advice she's been given in epic fashion: with an Instagram post appreciating her fantastic body. Porizkova posted a candid video of herself posing in her underwear, intersplicing it with clips of throwback pictures of her modeling days — during which, she explained, she wouldn't take care of herself well and was insecure about her figure — and her current workout routine, showing that health and wellness have nothing to do with numbers on the scale. "I know I can get rid of the weight. I can eat less and work out more. I can get liposuction, or freeze my extra fat off in little bricks," Porizkova wrote on her post in June 2026 . "My point was and is: to resist to age takes an awful lot of time and money. And at this point in my life, I'm more comfortable in this body than I've ever been. More grateful for it." Paulina Porizkova was a stunning '80s supermodel, but videos and pictures like these prove she is even more stunning (and confident) now. 

This isn't the first time that Porizkova has clapped back at those who make negative remarks about her body. In March 2023, the model went viral for an Instagram post in which she highlighted several comments she received after posting herself in lingerie, some of which alleged that Porizkova was trying to act as a "representative" for all mature women, and others that claimed she was objectifying herself. "Most of you are wonderfully supportive and understand what I'm trying to do in representing an older woman as still sexy and viable, and certainly not invisible," Porizkova wrote in the 2023 post. "Many of the unkind comments seem to focus on me needing validation — which is true in part, I do need to be noticed in order not to be invisible ... I'm not trying to represent all women of my age. How could I? How could anyone? Don't we all look different and isn't that where our beauty lies? In our uniqueness?" she told the haters.

Like her fellow OG supermodels that you wouldn't recognize today, Paulina Porizkova has aged beautifully. The model is now in her 60s, but she has defied all expectations for mature women, choosing to flaunt her figure with unapologetic confidence. Porizkova has also embraced her gorgeous gray hair over the past few years, showing that she isn't shy about embracing the changes that come with age. "I love my gray hair. It still requires maintenance, believe it or not, but I feel very good about [it]," Porizkova told Harper's Bazaar in 2025, going on to explain that, on a deeper level, the best part of growing older is "turn[ing] into the person that you were meant to be all along." She wisely said, "I think if you try to live your life with an understanding that other people matter, that connections matter, and that love matters, then you won't be disappointed with who that person is that you truly are." 

As for her beauty routine as a mature woman, Porizkova has shared that it is relatively simple. In an Instagram reel from 2023, the model explained that her main skincare priorities are SPF and retinol, which she called "the only two products that actually do something to your skin [...] One protects it from damage and the other, ever-so-slightly, reverses it." Porizkova continued, "I must admit, I love skincare. I always try out new things even though I know the best they will do is a slight glow, or a slight plumping, and that's good enough for me. The gorgeous supermodel also revealed her go-to products, which include the Hippie Stick from Jones Road and Trish McEvoy's Beauty Booster SPF 30 cream.
