For Paulina Porizkova, hot girl summer doesn't have to come to an end just yet.
Even with swimsuit season drawing to a close, the former supermodel isn't letting anything stop her from sharing an end-of-summer bikini post—and she surely won't be letting any insecurities about her body get in the way, either.
Instead, Porizkova shared a new golden hour swimsuit photo to Instagram on Friday, Sep. 1, sporting an itty-bitty print two-piece and embracing the fact that every body is a bikini body.
Even her dog, Ludwig, wanted to get in on the action, sweetly posing beside his mom on a towel next to the pool.
The 58-year-old opened up about the reality of body image issues in her caption, where she admitted, "I just saw a post of an IG friend of mine, a body pic in which her body looked unbelievable. She’s close to my age, but has none of my bumps or lumps or loose skin."
"And my first reaction was, 'holy cow, she looks amazing,'" she recounted, noting that after years of struggling with comparing her body to those others, she is finally able to say she's "not in the least bit envious" of other women's bodies.
She also looked back on how far she has come over the years, confessing, "In the past, I would at first make the inevitable millisecond comparison, feel ashamed for not measuring up, and then deal with my shame and envy," which she said would manifest as "either putting the woman down (in my head- not online!)" or putting herself down.
"When we make comparisons, we also judge," she further insisted, noting, "Both are programmed into us and exacerbated by society."
"It's taken me from my early fifties till now to get here," she said of her current outlook on body image, which requires her to look at other women "in celebration of who they want to be."
"And guess whose day will be the nicer for it?😁," she added of her positive new attitude.
"Celebrate!!" one of her followers echoed in the comment section, while someone else called Porizkova's post, "a heartwarming reminder about the joy in celebrating other women ❤️."
