Paulina Porizkova and Ricki Lake share an extraordinary bond that defies the boundaries of their differing career paths — fashion and TV. The duo met 36 years ago when Porizkova’s then-husband, the late Ric Ocasek, starred in the 1988 film Hairspray, where Lake played Tracy Turnblad.
The ladies have maintained their relationship over the years. Recently, Porizkova celebrated their decades-long friendship with a heartfelt tribute alongside a series of heartwarming photos capturing their shared moments at a recent concert.
In the emotional post, the former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model reminisced on when she first met her friend and how they maintained a healthy relationship despite their careers. “I was at the top of my career, she was just about to join the Valhalla of celebrities, in the following 36 years we both went through marriages, children, career successes and failures, romantic involvements, and deaths. And here we are,” she captioned the photo reel. “It’s our turn to fully step into the power we know we own.Two women in middle age, both feeling the happiest -and best- we’ve ever been. If this is not our prime- then what is?!”
Lake also took to the comment section to express her gratitude for the gift of Porizkova as her friend. “You are an inspiration to me and my mirror,” she replied. “We have both overcome so much and deserve these oh so sweet days with our giant kings.”
Fans took to the comment section to express their thoughts in response to Porizkova’s post, showing their enthusiasm for the close bond between the two friends. “You are both extremely beautiful,” a fan wrote while another commented, “So beautiful and empowering to have a friendship like that.”
Some users also noted the presence of grey hair on both women while praising them for how far they’ve come. “Awwww two VERY inspirational and VERY beautiful silver haired lovelies!” a fan commented. “Just the best!” “Silver goddesses,” another person wrote.
