Paulina Porizkova has brought new meaning to the phrase 'when in Rome' after nearly breaking the internet with a stunning nude mirror selfie that she snapped in the bathroom of her Italian hotel room.
The 56-year-old supermodel, who has been staying in Italy's capital for the past ten days while working on an unnamed project, took to Instagram to share the risque snap, which captures her enviable figure reflected from all angles, courtesy of the many mirrors in her bathroom.
Paulina shot her photo while standing in her empty bathtub, flashing her derriere in the mirror behind her, while ensuring that the front-facing shot revealed nothing from the waist down.
She then used her arms to cover her breasts, and kept one leg in front of the other to protect her modesty in one of the other mirror reflections.
If you've got it... Paulina Porizkova, 56, showed off her incredible figure in a nude selfie that was posted to her Instagram on Tuesday, joking that she snapped it because she was 'bored
In her caption, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit alum joked that her saucy selfie was the result of 'boredom' after a day of work in Rome and a 'leisurely bath', before poking fun at herself by referring to the naked photo as a 'celebration of narcissism'.
'My hotel Eden in Rome, has, besides a beautiful room I’m staying in, this pretty happening bathroom,' she wrote.
'After work and a leisurely bath, I was bored, which led to this celebration of narcissism, the naked selfie. What else was there to do? I mean, besides things like reading a good book or watching Italian TV.'
Paulina went on to pose a philosophical question, asking whether a man would have done the same thing had he been given a camera and left in the same room with some time to kill.
'...It made me wonder what would happen if you gave a man a mirror and a camera and lots of spare time, versus a woman,' she wrote.
The model then warned off any trolls who are tempted to criticize her for posting the nude snap, writing: 'And for all of you who have a rough time with nudity, this thread will not be a safe place for you. Godspeed.'

Unsurprisingly, the photo caused quite the stir in the comments section, with tens of thousands of users rushing to compliment her figure - and her photography skills.
Fashion photographer Nigel Barker was one of the first to praise Paulina's use of 'angles', while fellow model Carolyn Murphy simply wrote: 'Damn,' alongside several fire emoji.
Former America's Next Top Model coach and judge Miss J. Alexander added that Paulina was 'serving a reflection of a positive Body moment', while supermodel Helena Christensen chimed in: 'The butt cheek lower left corner is my favorite.'
The fashion star's latest post is certainly not the first body-baring image that she has shared - quite the opposite in fact.
In April, Paulina posed nearly-naked on the cover of Vogue CZ, which featured a series of beautiful unretouched photos of the supermodel, which were taken in her apartment in New York City.
The cover photo itself saw the mother-of-two modeling a sheer black bodysuit while leaning against her mantel, while another snap featured Paulina posing topless, wearing nothing but a pair of lacy green panties and some high heels.
