A 73-year-old woman has taken to social media to hit back at trolls who criticized her choice of swimwear.
Taking to TikTok, Colleen Heidemann posted a video about body positivity after she received some negative comments about wearing swimsuits on her account.
The sexy senior usually uses her platform to spread positive messages to her 319,000 followers, showing us that age really is a number when it comes to following your dreams and wearing whatever you want to wear.
While this video does follow her usual content style, it also addresses the haters that have been trying to take away her confidence when it comes to her body - and let's just say Heidemann's not having any of it.
Watch the full video below:The 22-second clip shows a montage of photos of the 73-year-old skipping down a hallway in a skintight pair of leggings before donning an array of gorgeous swimsuits.
From ones that offer coverage from the neck to the ankle to skimpier styles with cutouts and embellishments, Heidemann showed off all the looks that make her feel like a million dollars, in the hopes that it will empower other women to embrace their bodies too.
"'This swimwear is not age appropriate,' is what they say," she writes at the start of the post. "I say: Wear what makes you feel good!"
"Every body is a swimsuit body," she concluded, and people were loving it!
"Queen. I am literally speechless every time I see you on here. I hope one day I have that amount of confidence and self-love," commented one user to which Heidemann replied: "What a most wonderful thing to say, thank you."
"You look amazing!!", praised another user. "Keep wearing what you love!"
A third commented that they "love that kind of positivity," to which the model responded emphasizing that it's important to find "something positive in each day."
Others stated that they wanted to be like Heidemann right now, as opposed to just when they were older.
As Heidemann shows, there's no right or wrong age to wear any item of clothing if it makes you feel good - and the secret to looking this good is having the confidence to rock every single look.
In some of her other videos, Heidemann spreads a similar empowering sentiment, giving us an insight into what it's like to be an older model.
From BTS videos showing her posing for photoshoots to giving her fans product reviews, the senior model has it all going on right now, and it's truly wonderful to see.
You go, girl!
