In the clip, Porizkova stands in her bedroom and removes a “five-year-old bathrobe,” revealing her bare back and “four-year-old Victoria’s Secret underwear.” After wearing a bra from lingerie company Third Love that she called “amazing,” she showed viewers her “scars on my lower back from bilateral hip replacements.”
When a commenter asked how her lower back feels after surgery, the model replied: “Great. I don’t have to think about my lower back anymore!”
She went on to get dressed, joking that spending the day at home meant having an “elastic waist,” showing off the elasticity of “my favorite jeans or Rag and Bone sweat jeans.”
She also wore a quirky printed sweatshirt, a gift from her fiancé Jeff Greenstein. Who else would buy me a squirrel with a camera? ” Porizkova said. The self-described “nearly blind” wore contact lenses and “very old” Victoria’s Secret slippers.

She revealed that her only makeup of the day was literally adding “a pinch of color” to her cheeks, showing her squeezing the apples of her cheeks. “I’m ready to spend the day comfortably at home on my typewriter.”
she wrote in the caption of her video. “If you’re like me, you’ll also notice the shape of my body and, hopefully, find comfort in thinking, ‘Oh, she’s not perfect either.'” Then take a moment to rest, wrap your arms around your imperfections, and give them some love. Because our imperfections are what make us perfect originals. ”
Greenstein praised his fiancée’s appearance, saying, “Now you can all enjoy what I go through every morning ❤️.”
