The cover girl is Martha Stewart!
The lifestyle maven has debuted on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue. The 2023 issue adds three more covers: Megan Fox, Kim Petras and Brooks Nader. At 81, Stewart is the oldest competitor.
“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 recalled. “And although I don’t think much about my age, I felt this was historic.”

The 81-year-old traveled to the Dominican Republic for a photo shoot.
She described it as a “challenge” for her in an interview with Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb but said she thought she “met the challenge.”
Despite becoming the oldest person ever to grace the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover, Stewart claimed that age doesn’t play a significant role in her daily activities.
Age is not a deciding factor in friendship or success; rather, it is what people do, how they think, and how they behave that matters, not your age.
Stewart wore 10 different outfits for the cover photo, but the magazine chose her in a white bathing suit with an orange scarf wrapped around her shoulders.
In a recent interview with InStyle, Stewart discussed how she is considered a “symbol of the fairer sex” despite her age.
“I’m an educator. I want to demonstrate to others that you can look fantastic.” She argued that sharing her popular thirst traps on social media was pointless.
Martha Stewart looks fantastic! Her perspective on getting older should be an example for all of us.
Martha Stewart is so cool! His approach to aging should be an example to us all.
