What a glam nan.

Eileen Smith, aka @eileenstylequeen, is Dublin’s InstaGRAN after totting up 18,000 followers on the social networking site.

Eileen, from Ballsbridge in Dublin, first joined up to Instagram as a way to keep in touch with her daughter who moved to Australia, however, she took to it straight away, uploading outfit of the day shots and pictures of her glam outings.

She told the Independent: “I’ve got three daughters and they’re all mad about clothes and style. One of my daughters said, ‘Go on this and have a bit of a laugh’.

“One is in Australia and we started doing the photo a day thing for each other, so it kept us in the loop,” she explained.

“I go out to her a couple of times a year, my husband worked for Emirates, so I get two first class tickets which is lovely. I’m literally and metaphorically flying.”

The granny-of-13 also added about her style: “I like classical clothes rather than fussy clothes. I tend to go for a lot of the older women that dress like that.

“I just love watching what they’re doing and what they’re wearing. Sometimes you see something on it, and you think, ‘Oh I have those two colours at home, I can put them together’ – it’s great for inspiration.”

We don’t know about you, but we’re definitely going on to follow Eileen Style Queen!
