A dedicated follower of fashion?
Instagram sensation Baddie Winkle is never knowingly underdressed and she makes up her own style rules, thank you very much.

This octogenarian wouldn’t be seen dead in a twinset and pearls, favouring over-the-knee platform boots and latex mini-dresses over sensible slacks any day of the week.

She’s certainly one of a kind!
Baddie’s inimitable style and quick wit have won her millions of Instagram followers – 3.1m and counting, to be precise. A fan of technicolour get-ups and slogan T-shirts (“Bad b***h”, “Babygirl” and “Booty is love” feature in her collection”), Baddie has been uploading photographs of herself in all her sartorial glory since 2014. Her biography on the app reads “stealing your man since 1928”.

The Kardashian-Jenner sisters must be quivering in their Louboutins
Or trying to work out how they can slide into shot. Baddie has earned herself quite the celebrity following: among her recent offerings to the photo sharing platform are pictures of herself posing with Miley Cyrus and popstar Fergie. Rihanna is also a fan.

Her name’s nearly as memorable as her wardrobe
Baddie’s real name is actually Helen Van Winkle.

According to Urban Dictionary, the term “Instagram daddie” denotes a person “famous for being beautiful, spreading trends, having on point brows and an unspoken confidence”.

A true baddie can have “any guy she wants”, is the “ultimate package” and “never hates on other women”, the online, crowdsourced dictionary of slang words and phrases states.
