These chic senior fashion influencers show true style has no age
- Instagram stars such as Maye Musk, 71, and Yazemeenah Rossi, 63, highlight how perceptions of beauty are evolving
- Meanwhile, celebrities including Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion and Helen Mirren are also embracing a more unique and eclectic style as they get older
Yazemeenah Rossi, Maye Musk, Daphne Selfe and Lyn Slater aren’t your typical Instagram fashion influencers.
The social media app may be popular with a younger audience – according to a recent study over two-thirds of its global users are aged 34 or younger – but that hasn’t stopped these four women, aged 63, 71, 91 and 66, respectively, from amassing a huge following thanks to their unique personal style.
This may seem odd considering that the fashion industry has long been accused of being ageist and obsessed with the concept of youth. But as perceptions of beauty evolve, more designers and brands have started to look beyond millennials and are tapping into an older demographic for inspiration.
“The world’s population is getting older and it’s becoming harder to ignore the power, wisdom and influence of the older woman. An older face can tell a story with a depth and insight that only time and experience can bring to light.”
