Paulina Porizkova poses topless: I have nothing to hide”

Paulina Porizkova continues to push the boundaries of her promise to remain unfiltered on social media. The 57-year-old supermodel and author just posed topless on Instagram and shared a caption about why she felt empowered to do so.

In the photo, Porizkova is wearing only black underwear while standing in front of a window. Her arms cover her chest as she looks out with her full figure.

“The new year is wide open,” she wrote in the caption of her Instagram post. "I welcome it naked. Because I have nothing to hide."

While the model has spent much of her life in front of the camera (she began her career in the early '80s), Porizkova feels comfortable posing in such a revealing way right now. “I finally feel comfortable in my skin,” she writes. “I have no need for armor when I am already armed with my experiences and the wisdom they have brought.”

What's inside really matters to them. “All the really good stuff is stuffed into this body and invisible from the outside,” the former “America’s Next Top Model” judge continues. "That doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's what keeps me standing tall and proud - even when I take my clothes off."

This post comes not long after Porizkova shared an "unretouched, unfiltered" selfie on Instagram, where she has earned a reputation for keeping it real and shattering sexist, ageist expectations about how women in their 50s should behave. Since 2020, she has posted makeup-free selfies and bikini shots on Instagram, paired with captions about aging, self-image and mental health, and has gained 965,000 followers and counting.

"I was suddenly a divorced woman who had no career, no way to make money and was also completely ignored by the general population, and I didn't think that was cool because I'm actually a lot cooler now than I was 20 years ago," she told Women's Wear Daily in an October 2022 interview. "Everything about me is better. But I have wrinkles and that doesn't make me ugly. I just thought that was unfair."
