The influencer, who loves skincare, makeup and fashion, often preaches that ‘age is just a number’.
The grey-haired beauty, who describes herself as a ‘silver fox’, is on a mission to empower women, especially ‘mature women’,
Posting on social media, the confident woman shared a clip as she posed in her swimsuit, leaving many speechless.
Therese shared her clip with the caption ‘Mature women should be included in advertising, and not just as a “token granny!” And as for swimwear, let’s represent all sizes AND ages!!’
The curvy woman then shared her love for swimwear but addressed the anti-aging advertising industry by saying: “I love wearing swimwear, I wear it a lot.”
Therese modeled a black floral cozzie, which she styled with a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses and a hat.
She explained that many swimwear companies don’t want to work with her to promote their products, and the ‘mature model’ assumed her age might have something to do with it.
She continued: “I looked at a lot of swimwear companies and got nothing, they were crickets, maybe I was too old for them, who knows.
“But you know what, we women are [61]I have money to spend, I love wearing swimsuits and I wear them all summer long.
“If I were a company and I knew this, I would be throwing swimsuits at women like me.”
Therese, whose motto is “age is never style”, added: “I am good enough.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @TheresegoesgrayIt clearly impressed many as it quickly racked up 53,300 views.
