At 54, Baywatch actress Donna D’Errico is proving that age is just a number when it comes to confidence and self-expression. Recently, she took to Instagram to respond to critics who claimed she was “too old” to wear a bikini.
D’Errico posted a photo of herself relaxing in a light pink bikini, accompanied by a powerful message. She wrote, “I’ve received comments from women saying I’m ‘too old to wear bikinis’ and that it’s ‘desperate.’ Let me tell you something that might surprise you – I can wear and do whatever I want.” Her post was met with an outpouring of support from fans, who praised her for her confidence and self-acceptance.
D’Errico’s message is one that resonates with many women who have faced similar criticism. Fellow Baywatch actress Pamela Anderson, for example, has also been open about her own experiences with body shaming. Another model, Paulina Porizkova, recently shared her own story of receiving hateful comments on her bikini photos. The 57-year-old model wrote, “Older men are distinguished, older women are ugly. People who think beauty equals youth don’t understand beauty.”
Porizkova’s words are a powerful reminder that beauty is not limited by age. In fact, she argues that beauty can be sharper and more profound with age, as we gain a deeper understanding of what it truly means. Her message, like D’Errico’s, is one of empowerment and self-acceptance, encouraging women to defy age stereotypes and celebrate their unique beauty.
