Paulina Porizkova is showing off her stunning figure in a vibrant red bikini ahead of her 61st birthday.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, April 9, Porizkova flaunted her abs in the swimwear as she shared an empowering message about aging.
“I’m trying on this new super cute summer bikini and I’m reminded how far I’ve traveled in self-acceptance. I will be 61 tomorrow,” she said via the social media clip. “And I understand that this might sound crazy to you, but 40 years ago when I was 21 and when I was at the height of my career and supermodel-dom, that was when I felt the most insecure.”
Porizkova explained that there were several factors in her younger years that caused her to be insecure.

“[It was] partly because [of] the endless comparisons to other models by the people who employed me. I never seemed to be good enough,” she explained. “And of course, partly because my self-worth was entirely tied to my looks.”
Porizkova said she was leaving behind the insecurities to embrace her current age.
“So today I’m trying on this cute summer bikini and I flex muscles that I’ve been working my cellulite butt off for. And not necessarily so I can look best in this bikini, but to feel my best in this sixth decade,” she said.
She then joked, “You know, actually? Who am I kidding? I kicked my workout up like 10 notches because I do want to look my best this summer, but not necessarily in a bikini… in a wedding dress.”
Porizkova has often been candid about aging, beauty and body positivity via her social media posts.
Last month, Porizkova stripped down to lingerie for a shoot she shared via her Instagram, telling her followers that “good light and posing” is the secret to looking great.
“Smoke and mirrors, folks. That’s how you make it look good for a moment,” the model captioned the March 12 post. “The truth is, gravity takes its toll. But! Gravity has also built your strength so you can hold your head higher than ever.”

In July 2025, Porizkova shared another sizzling lingerie snap via her Instagram and spoke about the effort she’d put in to maintain her figure.
“This is 60 years of sometimes healthy eating, sometimes not,” she captioned the post. “60 years of sometimes working out, sometimes not. 60 years of doing the right things followed by doing the wrong things and over again and again.”
Porizkova added that she’s still learning things in life, even when she thinks she’s “figured” everything out.
She continued, “The beauty of 60 is that now I understand the importance is IN the lesson, not passing the exam.”
