AGE is just a number and one grandma proved just that as she walked the runway during Miami Swim Week.
The 96-year-old woman wore a blue swimsuit as she appeared on the arm of two male models.
Miami Beach native Gloria Mantell Pallot made history as she strutted her stuff during a swimwear fashion show on Sunday.
She wore a blue one-piece with floral contrast paneling up each of the sides — and a scarf to match.
And she had escorts, too, walking arm-in-arm with two hunky male models, each of who sported the same floral print somewhere on their outfits, too.
I love flaunting my curves & it's not for the likes from men
The beach ensembles were part of a collection by Love for Upcycling, a sustainable brand.
Pallot is the oldest person ever to participate in an official Miami Swim Week event.
She spoke to 7 News, a local Fox affiliate, about her experience walking in the show.
Pallot described feeling nervous because of her age but explained that she had put in work preparing for the event.
"I ride the bike, and then I do general exercises, you know, stretches, a lot in the chair, and then standing up and stretching," she said.
Pallot also revealed her motivation for participating in the swimwear show.
"My son’s girlfriend is a model, and they encouraged me to do it, my grandson and his girlfriend, that I should do it," she explained.
But she admitted that she had "second thoughts" about walking in the show, having not walked down an aisle since her wedding day 73 years ago.
Her appearance was a hit, though, and several audience members, including Ramona Messore, shared videos of Pallot walking in her heeled sandals.

Instead, they repurpose the old and use it to create something beautiful and timeless.
In addition to walking on the arms of two male models, Pallot appeared for the show's grand finale.
She proved to be a crowd favorite, going viral online for her record-setting appearance.
And she's just the latest mature woman to take on swimsuit modeling.
Martha Stewart made history this year as the oldest woman to model for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue at the age of 81.
Kathy Jacobs was previously the magazine's oldest rookie, modeling at the age of 57 in 2021.
Miami Swim Week concludes on Wednesday, June 5.
