And it seems this logic is starting to catch on - when Jennifer Aniston posed naked for the cover of GQ in 2008, it was a big deal that a 40-year-old woman would show herself so fully. Porizkova’s logic makes perfect sense to us: a society that encourages teenagers to sexualize themselves while denying women in their 50s the same right is not a world we want to continue to live in, on either end of the spectrum. I may be 56, but I’m as fully a woman as I was thirty years ago, in fact, I’d argue: more so.” This is a major societal taboo which is precisely why I post what I post. “ An older woman is allowed wisdom, humor, patience - but not sensuality. Back then, I couldn’t be proud of who I was because I didn’t yet know who I was,” she continued. “I have done the same sort of photos since I was fifteen. By what standard is it ok to ogle a nude teen, but not a mature woman?” No one tells them to put their clothes on. I’m doing it because you see thousands of images of younger women in the same situations. “I don’t do this for compliments or likes. “I post bikini and nude photos because I finally feel good in my skin,” she wrote below one nude November post. Paulina Porizkova, who frequently speaks out on Instagram about navigating her changing appearance as a former supermodel in her 50s, has posed nude countless times to prove how much beauty she has to offer in this iteration of herself, and to share commentary on how we’ve treated nudity in media for so long. Luckily, our current crop of celebs have been fighting back hard against the idea that you should have to look one specific way in order to feel good about showing off your body, and they’re putting their own figures on the front lines of Instagram trolls and outdated critics to prove just how messed up it is to think that 19-year-old models should be encouraged to strip down for the camera while 55-year-old models should be hiding their features.
