But the 56-year-old supermodel, whose Photoshop-free, "full-frontal nude" Vogue Czechoslovakia cover recently went viral, never set out to start a #nofilter movement.
"I didn't know that you could filter yourself!" Porizkova admitted to Page Six Style with a laugh. "Had I known, I probably would have … like, 'Look at how great I look!' But I just had no clue."
In hindsight, the catwalker's happy she hasn't contributed to the darker side of Instagram culture, where users — many of them children and teens — feel pressure to filter their faces and bodies to perceived perfection .
"Oh my God, the damage it's doing is unbelievable," she said. "All these young girls look to those pictures and don't necessarily know that it's not real. Being immersed in that world … how inspiring is it to only see something that's so out of your reach?"
Perhaps that's why Porizkova's candid content has resonated with so many online. "The more I posted the reality and the real me, the more people responded to it," she said.
"It's not the men that are the worst critics, which is really interesting," she said. "[It's] all the women my age going, 'You're desperate, you're hungry, why don't you just retire and take care of your children and your household?'"
"I think we've made enormous strides in accepting all different sorts of beauty; I think size and color and all of these things that used to be so uniform now have broadened to a pretty spectacular [degree]," said Porizkova, who is currently dating director Aaron Sorkin . "But age, ageism, that's kind of like the last frontier."
But many brands, she's noticed, are content to cast one "token old lady" and call it a day — and to ignore what she refers to as "the invisible sector," the vast group of middle-aged women she honors with her other go-to hashtag, #betweenjloandbettywhite.
"It's all of us who don't either measure up to looking much younger than our age, or we're not quite at the age yet where we're celebrated as 'adorable,'" she explained.
Olivia Culpo, sister start rivalry over battling NFL boyfriends
Olivia Culpo joked with younger sister Sophia Culpo about their NFL allegiances after news broke that their respective boyfriends, Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey and New York Jets wide receiver Braxton Berrios, will face each other on the field in September.
“Uhhhh can we still sit together @oliviaculpo???" Sophia, 24, posted to her Instagram Story on Wednesday following the release of the league’s 2021 schedule.
Olivia, who has been dating Pro Bowler McCaffrey for nearly two years, replied: “Since Braxton and Christian are competing, I challenge you to a thumb war @sophiaculpo.”
The NFL released this year's schedule earlier on Wednesday, revealing that the Jets are set to kick off their season against the Panthers.
The upcoming season will mark Berrios’ third in New York and McCaffrey’s fifth in North Carolina.
A sixth-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, Berrios, 25, was with the New England Patriots for one season before being waived by the team in August 2019. He joined the Jets that September.
As for his game off the field, Berrios and Sophia, a model, made their romance Instagram official earlier this year.
McCaffrey, who inked a four-year, $64 million contract extension with the Panthers last spring, was sidelined for much of the 2020 season due to injury.
The 2021 offseason has been a memorable one for McCaffrey, 24, and Olivia, 29, however, as the duo enjoyed a scenic getaway together in March.

Emily Ratajkowski To Sell Controversial Art As NFT At Christie's Auction | The Daily Wire
Model and actress Emily Ratajkowski is the latest prominent figure to be selling a "nonfungible token," or NFT. The piece, titled "Buying Myself Back: A Model for Redistribution" is being auctioned at Christie's on May 14.

"As Ms. Ratajkowski chronicled in a widely read essay published in The Cut last fall, she'd been surprised to find out, in 2014, that a nude photograph of herself was hanging in the Gagosian Gallery on Madison Avenue. As part of his 'New Portraits' series, the artist Richard Prince had taken one of her Instagram photos and printed it on a large canvas, priced at $90,000," reported The New York Times .
"Ms. Ratajkowski tried to buy the piece but a Gagosian employee bought it for himself. After contacting Mr. Prince's studio directly, though, she was able to obtain a second 'Instagram painting' of herself, featuring a photo from her first appearance in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue. She had been paid $150 for the shoot, she wrote, and a 'couple grand' when the issue was published," the Times added.
The image which will be attached to the NFT being auctioned is a "digital composite showing Ms. Ratajkowski, photographed in her New York apartment, posing in front of the Richard Prince painting that hangs in her Los Angeles home."
NFTs have revolutionized the ownership of digital works, allowing such products to be "signed" with unique identifiers in the item's metadata using blockchain technology — the same technology which underpins the security of cryptocurrency transactions — thereby guaranteeing their originality.
"Someone owns the foreground photo of Ratajkowski in her apartment (possibly the photographer, possibly Ratajkowski herself). Ratajkowski owns a physical copy of the painting by Richard Prince, but she likely does not own rights to digitally reproduce it," the article stated.
As is the case with most NFTs, Ratajkowski will receive a portion of the sales value every time the NFT is resold in the future.
In late April, the model tweeted about the NFT, writing, " In a step toward my ongoing effort to reclaim and control my image, I'm thrilled to announce my first conceptual artwork to ever come to market, an NFT entitled Buying Myself Back: A Model for Redistribution."
