Candace Leslie Cima is a 76-year-old woman who takes care of herself and maintains good physical fitness. This radiant woman, with resolute beauty, is a fashion enthusiast who campaigns to break society’s stereotypes.
At seventy-six, this blogger challenges ageism and defends the idea that one can be beautiful at any age. Periodically showcasing her various looks, from classic to glamorous, she is praised by some and criticized by others.
When we think of elderly people, we often imagine them dressed in old-fashioned, loose-fitting, unstylish attire—a typical grandma look! But this grandmother had other plans. She absolutely refuses to be labeled, especially when it comes to fashion and beauty.
She’s not locking away her femininity just because of her age! Why shouldn’t she be elegant at seventy? That’s her motto: when people challenge her style, she loudly proclaims that ‘old age does not mean we can’t dress elegantly and harmoniously.’
Her challenge against stereotypes of old age began a few years ago when she first opened her Instagram account at the age of 72. Interested in the world of influencers, she quickly noticed the lack of representation in her age category.
So, she decided to change that. She soon became involved in this new ‘mission,’ which led her to launch her own fashion blog and post various videos on popular platforms like TikTok.
Her efforts paid off as her message quickly gained the interest of many users. Her videos even went ‘viral’ on TikTok, amassing millions of views. One of her videos was watched 7.5 million times, and another over 5 million times.
Despite numerous criticisms, to show the world that she refuses to conform to societal expectations, she chose to post a video in a swimsuit. The height of defiance, according to her detractors!
Regardless of what her critics say, Candace looks simply stunning in this beautiful black swimsuit, highlighting her superb silhouette. For her, wearing such attire was a bold way to wink at those who judge her aesthetic choices as inappropriate and inelegant.
