At the age of 81, Martha Stewart has made history by gracing the cover of the renowned Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Accompanying her are three other cover models – Megan Fox, Kim Petras, and Brooks Nader – but Stewart stands out as the oldest participant in the history of the issue. This remarkable achievement is a testament to her timeless beauty and indomitable spirit.
When Stewart first heard the news, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride. “Oh, that’s pretty good, I’m going to be the oldest person, I think ever, on a cover of Sports Illustrated,” she shared. Her age wasn’t something she dwelled on, but she recognized the significance of the moment. “Although I don’t think much about my age, I felt this was historic,” she added. Stewart’s positive attitude towards aging is truly inspirational.
For her photo session, the 81-year-old traveled to the beautiful Dominican Republic, a challenge she gladly embraced. With determination in her heart, she showcased her elegance by donning ten different outfits for the cover shot.
Each outfit captured her confidence and undeniable allure. One particular standout is the chosen image for the cover, where Stewart effortlessly rocks a stunning white bathing suit with a plunging neckline. Adorned with an orange shawl gracefully draped over her shoulders, the photo encapsulates her ageless beauty.
What makes Stewart’s achievement even more remarkable is her attitude towards age. She firmly believes that age shouldn’t dictate one’s friendships or success. It’s not about the number of years lived, but rather about what people do, how they think, and how they behave that truly matters. Stewart is a living example of this philosophy.
In a recent interview with InStyle, Stewart spoke about being viewed as a “bona fide sex symbol” despite her age. To her, seeking validation through thirst traps on social media is not important. Instead, she wants to inspire others by showing that they can look fantastic and lead fulfilling lives, regardless of their age. With her grace, confidence, and timeless beauty, Stewart serves as a role model for everyone who believes in embracing life with zest and confidence.
Martha Stewart is an extraordinary woman who looks absolutely fantastic at 81. Her perspective on aging is an inspiration to us all, reminding us that age is just a number and that we should embrace life with zest and confidence. Let her story be a reminder that there is no expiration date on living your best life.
