Brilio.net/en - They said that age is only a number and you only feel as old as you think you are.
The adage is true for Baddie Winkle. This 88 years old grandma is an Instagram sensation, with more than 1.7 million followers and counting! All due to her dare-to-live attitude and quirky fashion sense.
Since its first post, the Internet had fallen in love with this sartorial star.

Winkle photos are full of colours. In one photos, she used rainbow tutu and top-high platform (also in rainbow) with pride!

The whole Instagram pandemonium started by her great-granddaughter, Kennedy, who introduced Winkle to social media.
One day, I was laying out in the sun, and I put on some tie-dyed shirt and a pair of cutoff shorts of my great-granddaughter Kennedys. She came home and said, Oh, Granny, you look so cute! Let me take a pic of you.
And ever since the first Instagram post, Winkles outfits and antics have turned her into an social media celebrity!

Baddie Winkle is the alter ego of Helen van Winkle. To cope with the death of her husband and son, Helen Van Winkle began dressing more adventurously: You dont know whats going to happen to you. I blamed God forever. I cried all the time because I couldnt come to terms with it, so I made myself over into Baddie Winkle.
And now, her instagram posing has not only helped her to cope with her grief but also provides inspiration to millions of her followers.
Keep twinkling Grannie Baddie!
