Martha Stewart, the renowned lifestyle expert, has made her debut as a cover girl for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. This historic moment marks a milestone for Stewart, who at 81 years old, has become the oldest participant to ever grace the cover of the esteemed magazine. She shares the spotlight with three other cover models: Megan Fox, Kim Petras, and Brooks Nader.
Stewart’s reaction to the news was one of excitement and humility. “When I heard that I was going to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, I thought, ‘Oh, that’s pretty good, I’m going to be the oldest person I think ever on a cover of Sports Illustrated,'” she said. Stewart acknowledged that this achievement is not only a personal milestone but also a historic moment.
For her photoshoot, Stewart traveled to the Dominican Republic, where she donned 10 different looks. The chosen cover photo features Stewart wearing a stunning white bathing suit with a plunging neckline, paired with an orange shawl draped elegantly over her shoulders.
Stewart’s attitude towards age is truly inspiring. Despite being the oldest person to feature on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover, she believes that age is just a number. “Age is not the determining factor in terms of friendship or in terms of success, but what people do, how people think, how people act, that’s what’s important and not your age,” she emphasized.
Stewart’s confidence and positivity are qualities that she actively promotes through her social media presence. She recently discussed being perceived as a “bona fide sex symbol” despite her age, stating, “I’m a teacher. I’m trying to teach others that you can look great. There’s no reason to slump around.” Her attitude towards aging is a shining example for us all, proving that age is indeed just a number.
