Podium icon in the 80s and 90s, Paulina Porizkova is today one of the strongest voices against egism. And now the old muse Estée Lauder shared on Instagram two radically different shots: the first, taken on vacation under a golden light, the bikini watch, posing with elegance. The second, captured at home, reveals a face without makeup, in a less flattering light, far from the codes of the “perfect” photos of social networks.
In legend, the top model has delivered an intimate text on the realities of its 60th anniversary. She evokes a life made of unstable balances, sometimes healthy diet, sometimes less, irregular sports sessions, and launches: “It’s me. On vacation, pretty light, posing for a photo. It’s also me. At home, bad light, not posing. Here’s what 60 years looks like”.
A plea against the fear of aging
A simple but powerful statement, which quickly generated more than 170,000 likes and thousands of support messages: “Thank you for this sharing”, “so inspiring”or “Finally someone who shows the truth”. For several years, Paulina Porizkova has been using her notoriety to denounce the pressure on women as they advance.
Invited last January on the set of Today Show, She confided: “I have the impression that we are so afraid of wrinkles now. Have you noticed this? We are terrified, because we assume that wrinkles make us less sexy, less desirable. And for women, it is somehow our business card-it has been sticking to our skin for a very long time”.
Paulina Porizkova: a woman oh so inspiring
For her, these brands of time are not a defect to erase, but a precious testimony: “I constantly look at my wrinkles-mine, yours, those of any woman-and I say to myself: ‘It is the card of your life. I see who you are as a person. Why would you like to erase them?'”. A vision that breaks with Traditional diktats of the fashion industry, of which it was however one of the most famous faces.
An influence that goes beyond the Paulina fashion is not at its first post viral advocating self -acceptance. His publications, often without filter or makeup, are intended to be a space of truth in the face of the superficiality of social networks. His credo? Inspire women to reclaim their image and to see beauty in authenticity. At 60, she is not content to parade or pose: she redefines what it means to be beautiful, proving that no ride can erase the brilliance of confidence.
