Donna D’Errico, the iconic Baywatch actress, has a powerful message for all the women who believe there’s an age-limit to rocking a bikini. At 54 years old, she effortlessly shuts down the shame and criticism, declaring that she can wear and do whatever she wants. And boy, does she look amazing doing it!
Recently, Donna took to Instagram to share a stunning picture of herself chilling in a light pink bikini. In the caption, she addressed the comments she received after posting a video in a patriotic red, white, and blue bikini on the 4th of July. Some women had the audacity to claim she was “too old” and even went as far as calling her “desperate.” But Donna had the perfect comeback – “Let me tell you something that might surprise you. I can wear and do whatever I want.”
Needless to say, Donna’s fans were quick to rally behind her. In the comments section, one supporter praised her, saying, “Do whatever you want, dear! We love you! Women always attack other women and try hard to make them feel bad. You have no reason to feel disappointed.” And another fan reminded her, “Donna, you can wear and look absolutely phenomenal in a bikini. Don’t let those jealous ones bother you even a bit.” It’s clear that Donna’s confidence and refusal to let naysayers bring her down have inspired many.
And Donna is not alone in this battle against ageist comments. Other fierce women, like Pamela Anderson from Baywatch, have also faced similar criticism. But they refuse to let others dictate what they can and cannot wear. It’s a powerful reminder that beauty has no expiration date.
Model Paulina Porizkova, who is 57 years old, once shared the hateful comments she received on her own bikini photos. One comment read, “It must hurt so much to post bikini pictures at your age.” But Paulina had a profound response, stating, “I get comments like these every time I post a picture of my body. Older men are distinguished, older women are ugly. People who think beauty equals youth don’t understand beauty.”
She further explained, “Pretty is easy on the eyes, partly because it is a little bland, harmless. It is easy to accept and easy to forget. Not so with beauty. Beauty can be sharp. It can hurt you and leave a scar. To perceive beauty, you have to be able to see. That’s why I believe we become more beautiful with age. We have earned beauty, we understand what it is, and we can see it much better. There is no such thing as ugly and old. Just nearsighted and ignorant.”
These incredible women are redefining society’s limited norms and championing the idea that age is just a number. They are embracing their bodies, celebrating their beauty, and proving that confidence is truly the most attractive quality one can possess.
So let Donna D’Errico’s inspiring words resonate with all the women out there – wear that bikini, rock that swimsuit, and let your inner beauty shine, agelessly and unapologetically. Because true beauty has no boundaries!
