Heidemann, who claims she only began her modelling career at 69, recently posted an empowering video – that swiftly went viral – in which she slips into an array of swimsuits.

“‘This swimwear is not age appropriate,’ is what they say,” she said at the start of the clip.

“I say: Wear what makes you feel good!”

The 73-year-old included a slide show of herself looking very cool in the seemingly summer heat while modelling various one-pieces and bikinis.

“Every body is a swimsuit body,” she wrote – and her viewers lapped the sentiment up.

“OMG YOU ARE GORGEOUS!” gushed one ecstatic user.

“I am literally speechless every time I see you on here,” commended another, who referred to Heidemann as a “queen”.

“I hope one day I have that amount of confidence and self love.”

“You are an inspiration,” wrote someone else, who said they want to be just like her when they “grow up”.

“You look amazing!! Keep wearing what you love!” another chimed in.

“Beautiful and elegant woman,” one user complimented, while another called Heidemann “ageing goals”.

In other clips, Heidemann, who is signed by NEXT Models, is fashioned in true ’80s exercise attire, emulating a Jane Fonda-esque look for her workout.

The former flight attendant also shares her skincare routine and glam sessions, as well as behind-the-scenes peeks from her runway gigs with fans.

The sophisticated senior often promotes confidence and self-love, embodying the message personally and professionally.

“When I ask myself, ‘When do I feel beautiful?’, it’s a mental thing for me that just brings the beauty of love,” Heidemann said in a YouTube video produced by her management agency.

“I can’t imagine living a moment, nor an hour, nor a day, without beauty in my life.”
