When you think of someone who can be described as an Instagrammer and model, you probably think of someone quite young — and you might even feel a little derisive about these dang kids and their technology.
But if we're talking about Baddie Winkle, you better respect your elders.

This is Baddie Winkle. She's 86 years old, she's a babe, and she knows it.

Hailing from Kentucky, Baddie Winkle likes fashion, snarkiness, and proving to people that being a grandma and being totally rad aren't diametrically opposed. The usual.

In a world of barely-adult fashion models and an obsession with youth, she's a breath of fresh air.

We get that no one likes to grow old, but consider the alternative.

A bonus of having white hair? You don't have to mess with bleach to try out fun colors!

And she has a sense of humor about herself, too.

She's also totally comfortable in her own skin. She always feels good about herself and her body.

(Keeping in shape by dancing to hip-hop helps, too.)

All women should feel this good about themselves, but sadly, a lot of us still need to work on our confidence.

Take a cue from Baddie Winkle, ladies: Wear whatever you want.

Baddie Winkle gained hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram and Twitter, charming the world with her give-no-[swear word redacted] attitude toward life.
In an interview with Jezebel, Baddie dropped some serious advice that everyone should follow — like getting negative people out of your life, wearing whatever you want as long as it makes you feel good, and basically not giving a hoot what people think about you.

She also has a glamorous side...

...and a formal side.

This is the outfit she wears when she goes to church and prays for all the basic souls out there. Actually, going to church is one of Baddie's favorite things.

In case you were wondering, she was a babe when she was younger, too.
