Paulina Porizkova, a former icon in the modeling industry, recently sparked controversy by boldly sharing a series of bikini snapshots on her social media platform. Rather than letting negativity prevail, she used this opportunity to convey a powerful message promoting body positivity and self-love.

Born in 1965, Porizkova began her modeling career at 15 and has graced numerous magazine covers. Besides modeling, she has appeared in films, TV shows, and music videos. Renowned for her candid writing, Porizkova addresses topics like beauty standards and grief.

At 57, Porizkova defies societal norms by persisting in her modeling career and sharing bikini photos, challenging ageist prejudices. She unabashedly declares, “I am a 57-year-old woman, and it appears that in society, when you enter middle age, you’re somehow deemed unworthy of donning a bikini.”

Despite facing derogatory comments, Porizkova remains fearless. She was married to Ric Ocasek, The Cars’ frontman, for 28 years. Reflecting on their relationship challenges, she emphasizes the importance of embracing aging.
