Martha Stewart becomes oldest women to model for swimsuit at 81

(MENAFN) Martha Stewart, the 81-year-old author, lifestyle expert, and media personality, has made history by becoming the oldest model to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. Reflecting on this achievement, Stewart expressed her thoughts on being chosen for the cover. She acknowledged the significance of being the oldest person ever featured on the iconic magazine's cover and considered it a historic moment, although age is not something she usually dwells upon.

Photographed in the Dominican Republic by Ruven Afanador, Stewart appeared in numerous photos that showcased her beauty and confidence. During an appearance on the "Today" show, she mentioned feeling pleased with the picture but admitted to being a bit nervous before the big reveal. Stewart humorously shared her experience of changing into nine different bathing suits in front of a crew and strangers on an island, ultimately feeling satisfied with the outcome.

Stewart acknowledged the challenge of gracing the cover at her age but felt that she successfully met it. She described the photo shoot as enjoyable and considered it a testament to living well. Emphasizing the importance of embracing a positive and fulfilling lifestyle, Stewart urged everyone to focus on thriving rather than aging during her interview on the "Today" show.

With this accomplishment, Martha Stewart surpasses Maye Musk, Elon Musk's mother, who held the previous record as the oldest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model at the age of 74. Stewart joins a distinguished group of four cover models, including actors Megan Fox and Brooks Nader, as well as singer Kim Petras, all of whom are featured in the magazine's latest edition.
