'80s Icon Paulina Porizkova Looks 20 Years Younger in Swimsuit Vacation Pics

Paulina Porizkova is looking forever young – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the 1980s supermodel shows off her fit-at-58 figure in a blue bathing suit. “Here come the vacation pics. The vacation itself was glorious and sometimes bittersweet- I took my love, Jeff , to the island in the Caribbean which I first discovered on a work trip when I was 16, in 1981. I got married there in 1989, and have been going back with my husband, his kids, then our kids, every year until 8 years ago. This is the first time back since. So many memories. And now, @sjeffgreenstein and I have added new ones. (And had fun doing pin-up photos.) Much has changed . Both for the island and me. But the essence is the same. In both of us, I hope,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Beautiful strong and vulnerable ❤️🔥❤️ all at the same time,” commented her supermodel pal Helena Christensen. “It is one thing to do a pinup at sixteen but to do one in your late fifties is next level and absolutely fabulous 🙌🏻 but let’s face it you are always in the next solar system,” added another follower. How does the model keep herself looking young and fit? Celebwell has the details on her health habits.

1. Intermittent Fasting

After post-menopause weight gain, Paulina started exercising more, which was "great for my emotional state ... [but] it made me be more hungry,” she explained to People. She discovered intermittent fasting, which is “all about balance,” she said. “I don’t eat very much, but when I eat, I eat the stuff I want to eat,” she said. “Sometimes they’re very healthy, and sometimes they aren’t, because they make me happy.”

2. Clean Eating

Paulina sticks to healthy food. “I live reasonably clean- don’t much enjoy processed foods, but love a variety and do love my cakes,” Paulina wrote in a recent Instagram post.

3. Moderate Exercise

“I started exercising when I was 40. I never did anything before that. Just cigarettes and poor nutrition. I could eat whatever I wanted because I smoked. Cindy [Crawford] would be there sweating and working out, and she had a fabulous body that she worked for and I was just like, 'Oh, that's stupid.' I had a good time being unhealthy for a while, but then you pay for it,” Paulina told Elle. She works out “at least three times a week- sometimes less, sometimes more,” she revealed on Instagram. “I found out if I worked out every day my anxiety was kept a lot at bay. And I felt better. So how great is that?” she told Elle.

4. Dancing

Paulina has another form of cardio she enjoys. “I still dance. I've done boxing. I've done rowing. You name it, I've done it. Except for running. I don't like running. It doesn't feel good to me. It feels bad on my knees,” she told Elle. “I'd rather do Zumba. And Bollywood dancing is a great way to get the aerobic part done. I do some really hard rowing classes. It's become something that's like brushing my teeth. It's something I have to do.”

5. Pilates

In a recent Instagram post Paulina revealed that she is a fan of the Nofar Method, a New York City based pilates workout studio. According to research, Pilates exercises are designed to increase muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility, and to improve posture and balance. Experts maintain that it is a great workout for leaning out.

Paulina Porizkova has #greypride! The 56-year-old supermodel, who is quickly becoming an inspiration to women around the world, is embracing the natural aging process. On Tuesday she shared a photo of her makeup-free face, explaining why she opts to post untouched photos on such a filter-friendly social media platform. Read on to hear what Paulina Porizkova had to say and read about some of the other ways she is embracing her age the healthy way—and for more celeb inspiration, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bikini Photos!

1. ”Sexy Has No Expiration Date”

Wrote Paulina: “I was recently in a restaurant, and as I came back from the ladies room to go back to my table, a young woman at the bar stopped me. ‘Are you- are you…’ she was fumbling around for a name. I wanted to to get back to my table, so I decided to make it easy on her. I smiled and nodded “yes, I am” as I tried to walk past. And then she said it. 'YOU’RE THE LADY WHO CRIES ON INSTAGRAM!'"

"That stopped me," she continued. "This woman was much too young to know me as a model. She knows me as the lady who cries on Instagram,” she wrote. “Then the young woman continued to thank me! She thanked me for being honest and sharing painful stuff , because it freed her to do the same. It released her shame of feeling guilty for having a range of emotions, and for not having to pretend. I think it was the best compliment I have gotten in years. THANK YOU PRETTY GIRL AT THE BAR😘 #truthisnotalwayspretty #betweenjloandbettywhite #sexyhasnoexpirationdate #greypride #nofillers #nobotox #nofilter 💯The reason I put in these hashtags is NOT to shame women who have had work done! Merely to let those who haven’t and those are aren’t sure if they should - see a face that’s resolutely without. Because untouched faces in the public eye are fewer and further between.”

2. She Recently Shared A Photo of Herself Crying

Paulina is trying to be transparent, posting about her bad days as well as good. “I know you all enjoy happy posts, seeing people pick themselves up, dust off their pants and get back on the horse, all while smiling to let you know this fall just made them stronger and better people. But. Everyday is not a happy day in the path of recovery,” she wrote in a recent post. "Trust after being betrayed seems as far fetched as being shot into space. Correction. It’s easier to see myself shot into space at this moment. When you’ve been betrayed- promised something, only to have that promise broken without your participation - you were blindsided. You trusted someone you loved, and now all love is suspect. But love is not possible without trust. And a world without love is not worth living. (All kinds of love). So what does one do when you want to stay open, but the wind of betrayal keeps slamming the door? I guess -maybe - walk outside and brave the weather? You’ll find me in the metaphorical closet pilling on layers for protection.🤣. For you who’d like to point out a crying selfie is the height of narcissism, I whole-heartedly agree!🤪 #nomakeup #nofilter #grief #heartache #justsitwithit.”

3. She Suffers From Anxiety

In a recent interview with Elle, Paulina revealed she started exercising to help with her panic attacks and to get off antidepressants. “I found out if I worked out every day my anxiety was kept a lot at bay. And I felt better. So how great is that?”

4. She Is Botox Free

Paulina has lines on her face, and she proudly shows them off. In a recent selfie shared to her Instagram, in which she was making a seriously funny face, sh added the hashtag“#clearlynobotoxhere.”

5. She Has a Healthy Approach to Exercise

Paulina has a laid back approach to exercise, which she didn’t start doing until she was 40. In a recent post she revealed that she does Pilates when in New York City, and while in the country she bikes and works out with her personal trainer.

Paulina Porizkova is one of the most successful and influential supermodels of all time. And she is still posting revealing photos on Instagram. Porizkova just posted a new swimsuit photo this week. She posed in a multicolored pattern bikini, showing off her figure. Porizkova captioned the post, “Some more food for thought. Athletes versus models. Both start their careers very young. Both make large amounts of money based on their physicality - in direct proportion to the demand - for their service. Both need to keep themselves in prime physical shape. Both jobs are physically and sometimes emotionally painful. Both careers end when most others just come into their best. Both are a celebration (or objectification) of the human body. Both demand sacrifices in personal lives. Both are used for your entertainment and to sell you products. One highlights mostly men, the other mostly women. And as they start aging out of their careers, if they refuse to give up quite yet - one gets applauded and is seen as heroic, and the other shamed as pathetic.

Porizkova is a supermodel, however, she doesn’t always want to be the ideal beauty standards. Porizkova posts a lot of natural, unedited photos on social media. She explained why in this Instagram post. “When I post no Botox no fillers hashtags, I get a fair amount of criticism from women assuming I’m somehow being superior. And I always have a knee jerk reaction to this - wanting to defend myself. ‘No, no,’ I want to say, ‘I’m merely going for representation.’”

3. She Enriches Her Good Bacteria

Porizkova spilled some of her skincare secrets on Instagram. She says that she wants to protect the good bacteria on her face, and uses products that will do that. "I am very fond of the good bacteria on my skin," she says. "[The cream] is very matte in texture, and it's also nice and rich."

4. She Focuses On Aging Well

In the same Instagram post, Porizkova talked about her approach to aging. "I have a little bit of an issue with the name anti-aging, because I don't actually mind aging,” she says. “I just want to age well. It's preferable to being dead, right?"

5. She Ignores Critics

Porizkova has had a lot of people comment on her appearance. However, she ignores them. The model wrote on Instagram, “I’m told my face needs ‘fixing.’ It has somehow gone ‘wrong’ by aging. Is it any wonder that most of us who have the means will resort to some forms of fixing what we’re told is broken?”
