Paulina Porizkova Admits She ‘Gained Like 15 Pounds’ Turning 60

Model Paulina Porizkova has never been shy about sharing the way her body looks. Her Instagram page is full of photos and videos featuring her discussing body positivity and aging gracefully. In one of her latest videos, Paulina posed in pink undergarments and got candid about her weight gain over the past few years.

Paulina Porizkova Answers ‘How Do You Look So Fabulous At 60?’

In an Instagram video set to MANCINI’s “Music To Watch Girls By,” Paulina shared a video of herself standing in front of the camera in pink lace undergarments. “How do you look so fabulous at 60?” text at the bottom of the video read.

“Well, it’s all just in good light and posing,” she responded. “The reality is this. I am 60 years old. This is what it looks like and also in the last few years, I’ve gained like 15 pounds and this tummy is not going anywhere. Also it carried two children.”

She went on to say that it “doesn’t matter how many Pilates lessons” she does, adding, “The skin is just the skin. But you know what? I like myself better this way.”

Paulina Says ‘Gravity Takes Its Toll’

In the video, Paulina highlighted her saggy skin. In the caption, she emphasized that her “perfect” body was just “smoke and mirrors, folks.”

“That’s how you make it look good for a moment. The truth is, gravity takes its toll. But! Gravity has also built your strength so you can hold your head higher than ever,” she wrote. “I first bought this lingerie set seven years ago for someone who couldn’t have cared less about the lingerie, he just needed me to be twenty years younger.”

Paulina Shares A Sweet Shout-Out To Fiancé Jeff Greenstein

Paulina even gave a sweet shout-out to her fiancé, writer Jeff Greenstein, in her caption. She said that even though she can “barely fit into” her old lingerie set, “it’s entirely worth to put it on just to see the look on my love’s @sjeffgreenstein face.”

“And so with all the obvious so-called-flaws of age, I have never felt sexier and more at home in my skin,” she added, crediting @oliverotcasek for the “vintage” robe that she can be seen wearing in the video. She capped off the caption with the hashtags “Between JLo and Betty White,” “This Is 60,” “Sexy Has No Expiration Date,” “Lingerie,” and “No Filter (ever!).”

Fans Applaud Paulina’s Body Positive Message

Many fans praised Paulina for sharing the truth about aging. “This 53-year-old feels seen. While I admired you in the 80s, when I was basically a teen/adolescent, I adore you today. Legend. This is how matriarchy and fulfillment are done,” one fan commented.

Another follower shared, “It is a privilege to get old. And beautiful changes come with that privilege. We should embrace them!! But let’s be honest. You, at 60, even with that little tummy, look better than most 25-year-olds. You really do!! Look around.”

A third fan wrote, “I love that we get to love our bodies at this age (whoa, I’m 69 today!), not apologize or try to be something else. I love my Crowley wrinkly skin, skin pouches, and wiggle jiggles. This body is amazing for what it’s endured. Your beauty is eternal, Paulina!! The light you shine is what is the real beauty!”

Paulina Porizkova Had A Hip Replacement In 2024

In several of her “Get Ready With Me” videos, Paulina has highlighted the scars from her hip replacement surgery. She shared a look at her “from bikini to hospital chic” in January 2024, giving fans a look at her “long overdue” hip replacement.

“It turns out I was born with congenital hip dysplasia- and because of that, the cartilage in my hips is worn out. And I don’t mean worn out as in ‘worn down.’ No. There is none left.
The three doctors I’ve visited all recoiled when they saw my X-rays,” she wrote at the time.

She assured fans that she was being well-cared for following the surgery, writing, “I have my Jeff at my side, my mom and papa Joe, my boys and a slew of friends volunteering to come and bring me soup.” In the comments, many fans shared their own surgery experiences and wished her a speedy recovery.
