Paulina Porizkova posted a naked photo in honor of her 59th birthday

Supermodel Paulina Porizkova posted a nude photo in honor of her 59th birthday. In the photo, the 90s catwalk star poses on a bed without clothes, covering part of her body with a blanket. “The birthday girl in her festive suit,” Paulina captioned the photo.

Under the publication, Porizkova reflected on the topic of her age and nudity, for which she is often criticized by haters. The supermodel called the last decade of her life "the worst, the most difficult and at the same time educational" and noted that she has never felt better in her "worn skin" than now.

"I'm proud to say I've reached level 59! And I'll continue to be proud of every new level in this game of life. For those of you who will always lecture me about age and nudity, rest assured, it took me 59 years to to feel so confident and free from shame. And I wish you the same."

Paulina, who speaks out against ageism, has repeatedly responded to criticism of her photos in lingerie, which she publishes on Instagram*. Users asked the model to stop showing off her naked body at almost seventy, and many noted that she did not look like the average woman of her age. Many of them, according to users, unlike Porizkova, do not have as much money and access to expensive procedures and cosmetics. To which the star urged everyone to learn to love themselves: “What’s really sad is that women, because of their insecurities, cannot find the strength to love themselves for who they are. To love their body. Instead, they will compare and envy."

Paulina Porizkova recently underwent hip replacement surgery and showed off scars on her hips. Last October, she posed topless for two covers of fashion magazines Vogue and Elle.
