After capturing the hearts of Instagrammers for almost two years, 87-year-old Baddie Winkle was named "Instagrammer of the Year" at the Eighth Annual Shorty Awards on April 11.

Born Helen Von Winkle in 1928, Baddie Winkle is a grandmother from Tennessee. She's become Instagram-famous for her psychedelic, teen-influenced personal style and her seemingly carefree attitude.

She got her big break when she attended the 2015 Video Music Awards, and Refinery29 also visited her at home for a touching video and profile the same week.
