Modelling After 60: The Next Chatper Of Janna The Stylish Rebel

She’s bold, fun and not afraid of ageing playfully. Thriving at 65, Janna, the modelling rebel, radiates the kind of confidence that can’t be bought, only earned.

Based in Amsterdam, she is a psychotherapist, lecturer, model, mother, grandmother, and the vibrant force behind the Instagram account Timelessstyle, a platform dedicated to inspiring women over 50 to be visible, stylish, and unapologetically themselves.

Janna, Modelling After 60 With a Cause

“I once was a punk girl,” Janna says with a smile. And in many ways, she still is.

There has always been something rebellious in her,  a refusal to shrink, to blend in, or to follow a path dictated by others. That same spirit fuels her mission today: to show women that ageing out loud is what matters, not fading into the background.

Her Instagram journey began as she entered her sixties. What started as a creative outlet quickly evolved into a movement. Through fashion-forward outfits, silver hair worn with pride, and an unmistakable joie de vivre, she challenges outdated ideas about getting older.

“Be visible,” she says. “Now that you are older, show yourself in your own style. Style is what you wear, your clothes. But style is also your attitude, your wrinkles, your silver hair.”

Getting Older? A Second Chance In Life

For Janna, ageing feels less like an ending and more like a restart.

“The strangest thing about becoming an older woman is that a new life is starting,” she explains to CrunchyTales. After decades of balancing career ambitions with raising three daughters, she feels she has entered a new chapter filled with possibility.

“It’s a gift getting older. It’s a second chance. Now you know what is really important to you — and you have time to roll it out.”

That belief led her not only to Instagram but also to modelling after 60. She wanted to represent vivid silver-haired women on catwalks, in photoshoots, and in fashion campaigns. Visibility, she insists, is powerful.

Love, Work, and Gratitude

Janna lives with her husband, “the love of my life”, in Amsterdam. They have been together for 35 years and share three adult daughters. She considers herself deeply blessed by her family.

Professionally, she has worked in mental health care for over 30 years and continues to do so with passion. As a lecturer in psychotherapy, she values the uniqueness of every person she meets , patients, students, colleagues alike.

That deep understanding of human complexity perhaps explains the warmth and authenticity she brings to her online community. She treasures the sisterhood she has found among women over 50, both digitally and in real life.

When she’s not modelling, Janna enjoys quiet moments with a good book, her favourite being The Guide by AndBloom, and savours her beloved cortados. “I’m not addicted to Chardonnay,” she laughs, “but to cortados.”

Regrets? Very few. If she could send a message to her younger self, it would be simple:
“Dare to follow your own path, despite what others say. Don’t waste time worrying. Enjoy life — it’s short.”

At 65, Janna feels completely at ease with her age and she hopes to keep embracing every opportunity along the way, living fully at every stage of life.
