"Thank You For Being REAL": People Are Applauding This Supermodel After She Shared Side-By-Side Photos Of Her Body At 60
Paulina Porizkova, the Czech supermodel who became one of the most recognizable faces throughout the '80s and '90s, is going viral for her honest take on aging. For her 60th birthday, Porizkova posted side-by-side images on Instagram of her body at 60. In the first, she's kneeling on a beach cabana in a bikini. The caption reads: "This is me. Vacation, pretty light, posing for a shot." In the second, she stands for a casual selfie in her bathroom at home. "This is also me. Home, not great light, not posing," she wrote. Related: Alongside the images, she reflected on what 60 means to her, writing, "This is 60. This is 60 years of sometimes healthy eating, sometimes not. 60 years of sometimes working out, sometimes not. 60 years of doing the right things followed by doing the wrong things and over again and again. It's 60 years of learning of what works and what doesn't. And just as I think I've figured it out, everything changes and I have to start again." She ended, "The beauty of 60 is that now I understand the importance is IN the lesson, not passing the exam." In a world where beauty standards keep getting more extreme, and social media often favors faces that look decades younger than they are, many have found it refreshing to see a supermodel be candid about aging. The comments quickly flooded with gratitude and personal stories. One person wrote: "Thank you for sharing and being real. I often see images of women on here going 'this is' and then whatever age they are but it's ALWAYS a super flattering photo not ever the realness of our ageing bodies. How are we ever going to accept ourselves if we're not seeing ourselves ✌🏽🧡🦋." Related: Others shared their own struggles and the freedom that comes with letting go of perfection: "Looking gorgeous, as always, Paulina. I'm 64 and while I still hate my stomach—no matter how light the numbers on the scale read, it makes me sad—but with my sixties came this wonderful sense of 'f*ck it all,' and I keep on going." Many said her post helped them feel less alone. "THANK YOU - turning 60 this year and was feeling bad about myself but now I see I am totally normal - actually feel great now - THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS - so important for real women to see real women," one wrote. "Love you for showing that you are bit normal and that makes me feel better about myself 💕," another added. Related: "Thank you for being REAL," this person said. In a interview back in January with TODAY, Paulina reflected on her career, her new partnership with Estée Lauder, and her life now — sharing how she hopes to use her platform to shift the conversation around aging and beauty. "I'm almost 60! I'm almost two months to 60 and I have never been so thrilled about a birthday in my life," she said. She continued, "I feel like I've paid my dues. I've raised the children, had the family, I've been the wife, I've done everything society expected of me. And you know what? It's my turn." When asked how she challenges the stigma around aging, Paulina replied, "We're so scared of wrinkles, have you noticed that? We are so terrified of wrinkles because I suppose wrinkles make us no longer relevant, no longer sexy, no longer desirable, and as women, that has been sort of our calling card." Yet, she added, "I keep looking at wrinkles, mine, yours, any woman that I see, and I think, 'It's your map of life. I see how you are as a person.'" "Why do we make wrinkles on the same par as acne?" she went on. "You know, those are the two things that people go to the dermatologist for, is acne and wrinkles. Acne is a disease, and wrinkles are the signs of privilege that you are alive. Why eliminate, why not embrace them? And I understand why, because society tells us that they don't want us once we become wrinkled." Related: Since that interview — and outside of her birthday post — Paulina has continued to share photos and posts that challenge expectations of what aging "should" look like. In one post, she shared a photo of herself with what she called "an unfortunate angle and seriously unflattering light" to challenge the unrealistic standards and expectations on the app. "In selecting my photos for IG, I almost unconsciously gravitate to pictures where I look best — as in youngest. Least wrinkled, least saggy. So, in the last year or so I'm consciously choosing some that I would have never posted before," she wrote in the caption. In an online world that feeds me — a 27-year-old — consistent applause for face-lifts, advice on the "best" time to start preventative Botox, tips for hiding fine lines "before it's too late," and constant pressure to filter, Facetune, and alter my appearance to meet impossible standards, seeing an older woman embrace a natural process feels refreshing. We're taught to fear aging as early as children, so Paulina's openness is a perspective I think we need more of. Of course, Paulina is a supermodel, so I think the message is easier to swallow for some (would we be as accepting if she weren't already considered beautiful?). Still, I'm grateful to see even a hint of change. But what do you think? Let me know in the comments. Also in Goodful:

Kate Moss, 51, stuns in maroon bikini on beach getaway with daughter Lila
TRIM Kate Moss heads for a swim to keep cool on a beach break. Supermodel Kate, 51, stood in shallow surf in a maroon bikini and sunglasses. 7 The catwalk queen then enjoyed a spell sunbathing on the sand on the Spanish island of Formentera. Kate was joined on the trip by her 22-year-old model daughter Lila, and Lila's friend Bella Tilbury. Earlier in the week, Kate opted for neutral-coloured swimwear but covered up with a white blouse as she hit the beach. Croydon-born Kate left her signature blonde locks in loose waves over her shoulders and pulled on a pair of sunglasses as she strode across the sands. While the supermodel's swimwear gave a glimpse at her toned figure, passers-by were more bemused by the presence of her brown Hermes Birkin accessory slung over her arm. The coveted designer bag took pride of place on her left arm, with Kate leaving the clasp open for easy access to her beach essentials. She was seen making her way away from the crystal-clear see waters up to a more hilly part of the beach in Formentera. Kate was with look-a-like daughter Lila, who has followed in her modelling footsteps. Later in the day, they were spotted taking a trip on a private boat. Inside Kate Moss' wild new lifestyle as pals fear boozy supermodel, 51, is going back to her old 90s partying ways 7 7

Star, 34, flaunts bum in tiny swimsuit after divorce news
Emily Ratajkowski is living her best divorced life under the summer sun in the Amalfi Coast in Italy. The supermodel, 34, once again turned heads in a black one-piece swimsuit that was so skimpy, a wardrobe malfunction almost seemed inevitable. She was seen soaking up the sun-drenched day on a yacht in Positano with her signature toned abs on full display in a halter-neck cozzie with a plunging cut-out front. The suit's strappy, backless design also featured high-cut hips and nearly non-existent sides and a cheeky thong back. Ever the fashion girly, Ratajkowski paired the look with a Burberry print bucket hat, vintage black sunglasses, and chunky gold earrings. After a swim, she dried off and put on some baggy maroon-coloured low-waisted shorts to enjoy the rest of the day with friends. Ratajkowski is currently holidaying in the Mediterranean with her four-year-old son, Sylvester Apollo Bear (nicknamed 'Sly'), who she shares with her now ex-husband, film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard, 44. The model-turned-author welcomed Sylvester in 2021, sharing many candid snaps on her Instagram of the two enjoying their Italian adventure. In some photos, Sly can be seen napping on the deck of the yacht, sitting on the famous sunbeds, playing Lego as mum did her makeup, and walking on the pebbly beaches. The holiday comes just after the 'My Body ' author and Bear-McClard formally finalised their divorce in Manhattan Supreme Court in late July, following nearly three years of legal back-and-forth. The split, which came four years after they tied the knot in February 2018, was marred by allegations of infidelity on Bear-McClard's part. Sylvester, who was just one at the time of his parents' divorce, is said to live full-time with his mum and visits his dad several times a week. Ratajkowski gave a rare insight into her marriage in August last year, when she told Vogue she viewed marriage as 'a romantic thing' that would 'ultimately be a partnership' – but this perspective changed after the birth of her son. 'I never cooked, and suddenly I was not just cooking, but also being the breadwinner, while simultaneously organising our social schedule and being the primary caretaker of our child,' she revealed. The podcaster, who hosts the show ' High Low ', said it was never her intention to marry someone who 'needed me to feel small'. The divorce settlement marks a new chapter for the star, who is now legally single and embracing a fresh start in life and her career. So, if these beach snaps feel like a victory lap, maybe they are. Ratajkowski has just finished her role on Lena Dunham's Netflix series ' Too Much ' and is now stepping into her next gig as a debut screenwriter. She's co-writing and set to star in an upcoming yet-to-be-named Apple TV+ project about modern motherhood and identity, collaborating with Dunham once again. If this isn't proof that Ratajkowski can do it all, we don't know what is.

Rosie Huntington Whiteley's Daughter Isabella Looks Like a Disney Princess in This Idyllic Photo
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham's daughter Isabella has always looked like a lil angel, but this latest photo proves Huntington-Whiteley gave birth to a Disney princess. On Aug 9, the supermodel shared a picturesque snapshot of her daughter on their latest vacation on her Instagram. She shared the photo with a simple caption of a white heart emoji. More from SheKnows Shemar Moore's Photo of Daughter Frankie Shows How Much She's Already Grown Up: 'You Are My Purpose' In the snapshot, we see Isabella looking off into the distance, looking like a little Disney Princess with her curly blonde hair and floral white dress! We already know she's fashionable like her mama, but this idyllic photo from their shaded villa shows she's an IRL princess. For those who don't know, Huntington-Whiteley and Statham have been together since 2010, soon after meeting at a party in London. They later got engaged in early 2016, and now have two children together: a son named Jack Oscar, born on June 24, 2017, and a daughter named Isabella James, born on Feb 2, 2022. In a previous interview with SheKnows, Huntington-Whiteley revealed how she loves learning from fellow moms, especially from those in her #MomSquad. 'I'm always fascinated to learn how working moms juggle it all. How all moms juggle it all. Because it's a juggling act whether you're working or not,' she said. 'I personally always leave conversations with other mothers feeling that I learned something or feeling inspired or comforted by their advice or opinions on things, and I certainly hope other mothers leave conversations with me feeling the same.'

Kate Moss in hysterics at naked man as she takes daughter to nude beach in Formentera
KATE Moss couldn't hide her feelings as she caught sight of a naked man on the beach while holidaying in Formentera. The supermodel, 51, enjoyed a bit of sea, sand and sunshine with her daughter Lila Grace, 22, and her boyfriend Yoni Helbitz, 23. 7 7 7 Kate slipped into a leopard print bikini for the beach outing teamed with oversized sunglasses worn on her head. The British star and her family were seen mingling with beauty entrepreneur Charlotte Tilbury's niece Bella Tilbury. But Kate was left very distracted when a bare-all beachgoer strolled across the beach. The uninvited guest left nothing to the imagination, giving the fashion icon a front-row seat to an unexpected full-frontal surprise. The model pulled a grimacing expression, but was then seen laughing it off while relaxing on a sun lounger. Kate put her trim physique on display in the co-ord swimwear as she walked across the beach. She then enjoyed a dip in the sea before she dried off and wrapped herself in a beach towel. Kate showed off her natural beauty with minimal makeup and her blonde hair tied into a messy bun. Earlier this week, Kate looked sensational as she stripped to a bikini and accessorised with a £35,000 designer bag on the beach. The supermodel opted for neutral-coloured swimwear but covered up with a white blouse as she hit the beach in Spain. Inside Kate Moss' wild new lifestyle as pals fear boozy supermodel, 51, is going back to her old 90s partying ways Later in the day, they were spotted taking a trip on a private boat. Just last week, during a recent trip to Ibiza, Kate was seen covering her boobs as she swam topless. Kate has been modelling since she was 14, and she is proving she's still at the top of her game. Recently, away from her vacations, she posed in just stockings and a bra for a steamy Saint Laurent ad. PARTY GIRL They told how she appears to be back on the party circuit and said at July's BST gig: "Kate was having it large at Hyde Park and was knocking back cans of Peroni. Recently, pals of the supermodel expressed their worries she had reverted back to her drinking, party girl heyday. 'She was hanging out in Van Morrison's private backstage area, before watching him from the side of the stage — before she went back to the bar for another drink. 'When she watched Neil Young, she flitted between the audience and the suites to keep the beers flowing. 'Kate sank a fair few drinks with her friends and quietly slipped away before Neil finished his set. 'The whole time she was laughing and giggling. 'Kate was quite literally the life and soul of the party. And there wasn't a crystal in sight.' Back in 2020, one of her closest pals, DJ Fat Tony, said she had been sober for two years. And as she launched her former wellness brand Cosmoss, Kate unveiled a rebranded version of herself to fans. It was Kate's return to her party lifestyle, pals claim, that influenced the break-up with her teetotal boyfriend of nine years, British photographer Nikolai Von Bismarck. In December, friends told us that the pair were going on 'different journeys'. One pal revealed: 'Kate feels fabulous and she wants to get back out there and have some fun.' 7 7
