  • Paulina Porizkova, 57, posted a new nude photo on Instagram with a message about “secret beauty.”

  • The post’s caption addressed how “pretty privilege” dissipates as we age, but inner beauty, or “secret beauty,” lasts forever.

  • Fans flooded the comments section to respond to the inspirational prose.


Paulina Porizkova isn’t one to shy away from the camera, and she always accompanies her iconic photos with meaningful prose (like when she celebrated her unique individual beauty). Now, the supermodel is taking the idea of “aging gracefully” to a whole new level, showing her fans that getting older can be powerful and beautiful by posing nude for an Instagram post.

In the photo’s caption, the 57-year-old opened up about aging and inner beauty—or as she calls it, “secret beauty.”

“When you’re deemed ‘beautiful’ by societal standards, your outward-facing shell is celebrated. You get pretty privilege until you age out of it. That sort of beauty is shiny and flashy, like a sequined dress. It instantly draws attention. But, it’s hardly comfortable, besides, the sequins will rub and eventually fall off.”

She continued: “Secret beauty works differently. That one is a dress made of quality fabric and careful stitching and will last forever. We are all that garment, the one of careful and unique construction.”

The star took on the meaning of inner beauty in the image’s caption. “This is what most call the inner beauty or the inner light. But what fascinates me about it is that once you glimpse it, it literally illuminates the person on the outside as well. Features that are unique and perhaps mathematically incorrect suddenly become beautiful. It’s like you’ve found a treasure in a second-hand store; it’s been waiting there for only those who have the patience and willingness to look. To really see. It will never go out of style because it’s never really been in style. It’s timeless.”

She closed out the post with this memorable statement: “Secret beauty doesn’t age. It only gets better the more it’s worn.”

This post is one of many on Porizkova’s grid that celebrates aging and self-love. She’s opened up in the past about embracing her gray hair and appreciating her aging body for all that it is. Perhaps more than anything, she wants her followers to know that she has nothing to hide.

Rest assured, her fans had plenty to say. One commented, “What a beautiful text. Accepting age is a privilege.😍😍.” Another wrote: “I absolutely love this. Your ability to go beyond the surface of what constitutes beauty is such a breath of fresh air. Thank you for sharing with us all.” Another simply pointed out: “You are [a] real genuine beauty, better by the minute. Thank you for the inspiration Paulina.”

It’s safe to say that Porizkova knows how to get her message out, and she’s doing so in a powerful way. We can’t wait to see what she inspires us with next!
