Paulina Porizkova always keeps it real.

The 57-year-old supermodel is famously candid on social media, whether she’s posing nude to celebrate her body or clapping back at those who think her face needs “fixing.”

And while promoting her upcoming book, “No Filter: The Good, the Bad and the Beautiful,” Porizkova spoke with WWD about the beauty of aging.

“Before my husband died our marriage had disintegrated and we were already separated for two years and we were going through a divorce and the invisibility to my husband coincided with my invisibility to the rest of the world,” she explained, referring to The Cars’ late frontman, Ric Ocasek.

Despite her perceived “invisibility,” however, Porizkova felt better than ever.

“I was suddenly a divorced woman who had no career, had no way of making money and also was completely ignored by the population at large and I thought that’s not cool because I’m actually a lot cooler now than I was 20 years ago,” she said.

“I am way smarter. I have more patience. I’m more intellectually curious. I’m more generous. Everything about me is better. But I have wrinkles and that does not make me ugly. I just thought that’s unfair.”
