At the age of 81, Martha Stewart has become the oldest woman to ever appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. The business magnate and TV producer has proven that age is just a number, and she’s still got it.
Stewart was one of four models chosen by the publication for their annual 2023 issue. She was photographed by Ruven Afanador in the Punta Cana area of the Dominican Republic, and she looked stunning in ten different swimsuits.

For Stewart, posing for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit was a historic moment, not just for herself, but for older women everywhere. “I don’t think about age very much, but I thought that this is kind of historic and that I better look really good,” she said.
Stewart’s attitude towards age is inspiring. She believes that age is not the determining factor in terms of friendship or success. Instead, it’s about how people think, act, and live their lives. “Age is not the determining factor… but what people do, how people think, how people act, that’s what’s important and not your age,” she said.

Before the shoot, Stewart made sure to get in shape. She didn’t starve herself, but she did cut out bread and pasta from her diet for a couple of months. She also went to Pilates every other day. “I live a clean life anyway. Good diet and good exercise and healthy skin care and all of that stuff, but it was kind of fun,” she said.
Stewart’s experience posing for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit was a challenge, but she rose to the occasion. She even joked that it was a little “odd” to pose in front of everyone wearing swimsuits, but it all turned out “OK” in the end.
