Supermodel Paulina Porizkova is known for many things: being an advocate for aging naturally, being open about what it’s like to age in the public eye, rocking her gray hair, and everything in between. But as one of the original supermodels, she’s also known for her gorgeous red-carpet fashion.
Now, Porizkova has shown off her vulnerable side and glamorous side alike to the world, showing that both are fabulous. And with her new era of self-confidence, she’s all about choosing what’s best for her and her body.
“When I was the most seen, I was the least heard,” she said to YOU UK. ‘If I choose to show my body and if I control the way my body is seen, does that mean that I then have the power? Yes. This is my body. And I will do with it as I please.’
For the No Filter: The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful author’s 58th birthday today on April 9, let’s celebrate her most chic and glamorous red carpet moments that have shown off her confident spirit since the late 1980s.
