A 72-year-old woman has gone viral on TikTok after hitting back at trolls who say she dresses 'inappropriately' for her age. Keiko Guest, a professional dancer and wellness advocate, has gained over 400k followers on the social media site by showing off her incredible moves and style.
However, others have criticised her outfits for being too revealing and told her to 'dress her age'. Instead of getting bogged down by the haters, Keiko has responded by mocking them in her videos while sporting low-cut tops, short dresses and knee-high boots.
The influencer has also opened up about her mental health issues, with many fans praising her candid accounts and positive outlook on life. Keiko also regularly uses her platform to promote thrift shopping and shows off stunning outfits she has created out of second-hand clothing, the Mirror reports.
In response to trolls who judge her sense of style, Keiko has posted a comedic skit that directly rejects the comments about her age. At the start of the video, she is dressed in a grey knit sweater with a button-up shirt and tracksuit bottoms, holding an adult walker with the caption "like this at 72?" written across the clip.
The footage then moves to Keiko in a completely contrasting outfit, in a bid to debunk the myth that all women her age need to dress a certain way to avoid scrutiny. Keiko is seen wearing a low cut black bodysuit with slits running across the chest area, paired with ripped jeans and strapped stilettos, as well as silver hoop earrings. "I like this better. What do you think?" she says to her viewers as the video concludes.
The starkly different outfits are supposed to prove that age is just a number and that the 72-year-old shouldn't have to prescribe to societal norms to live a happy life. Keiko strongly rejects the notion that she needs to dress as she does in the first clip, and says she 'doesn't care' about the haters, as she focuses on expressing herself through fun and creative outfits.
The viral video, which has amassed a huge 4.6 million views on TikTok, has sparked praise from thousands of commenters who love the woman's attitude. People are stunned by Keiko's athletic physique, with one commenting "wow beautiful I hope I look as good as you at 72!".
Another wrote some powerful advice in the comments section, adding: "Mam keep slaying.. misery loves company". One admiring social media user said "when I grow up, I wanna be just like you" while another added "ma'am if I looked as good as you then I would dress the same way".
When asked what her secret is to keeping youthful in spirit and appearance, Keiko replied saying: "Been working with teenagers for over half a century. I’ve taught, directed, coached, wardrobe/costumed, posed them. I can do it in my sleep".
