More and more fashion influencers over 50 are solidifying their brand on social media and showing us that age is just a number.

Many of them have been successful in securing modelling contracts later in life, something that was only reserved for their younger counterparts.

Older women are having fun with fashion while dishing on their beauty regimes and fitness routines. These women are not afraid to experiment with new trends and styles, whether it's a bold print or an unexpected color.
