Paulina Porizkova posted an unfiltered photo in her underwear to prove a point about lighting and filters.
The 60-year-old retired supermodel has made candid comments about aging the past.
She previously encouraged other women to let their “seasoned lady flag” fly.
Paulina Porizkova is sharing an unfiltered look at what life is like as a retired 60-year-old supermodel. Taking to Instagram to prove a point about lighting and filters, the former America’s Next Top Model judge shared two photos: one in her bikini and one in her underwear.
“This is me. Vacation, pretty light, posing for a shot,” she wrote in the caption, referring to the first photo.

The caption continued, “This is also me,” referring to the second shot. “Home, not great light, not posing.”

Porizkova drove her point home with the remainder of her caption, emphasizing the importance of embracing the ups and downs of aging.
“It’s 60 years of learning of what works and what doesn’t,” she wrote. “And just as I think I’ve figured it out, everything changes and I have to start again. The beauty of 60 is that now I understand the importance is IN the lesson, not passing the exam.”
This isn’t the first time that Porizkova has spoken candidly about aging, of course. Last month, for example, she shared a selfie with an “unfortunate angle” and “unflattering light.”
“In selecting my photos for IG, I almost unconsciously gravitate to pictures where I look best—as in youngest. Least wrinkled, least saggy,” she wrote. “So, in the last year or so I’m consciously choosing some that I would have never posted before.”

“The majority are women like myself who feel like they are uncertain of what this aging thing is supposed to ‘look’ like, and like myself, madly grateful there is someone that mirrors them,” she continued. “So this one is for you, my sisters, to let you know that if you want to look pretty, find good light and a good angle. If you’re tired of being ashamed of your age, let your ‘seasoned lady flag’ fly!”
