81-year-old Martha Stewart flaunted her stunning figure on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2023 – making her the oldest woman to ever appear on the cover of the magazine.
The publication revealed its four cover stars this morning, including Martha, Megan Fox, Kim Petras and Brooks Nader.
The businesswoman, who described posing for the magazine as “historic” at her age, flaunted her amazing physique throughout the shoot, donning ten different swimsuits that showed off her physique to the fullest.
In one photo, she stood in a red plunging-necked one-piece suit, while in another, the 81-year-old smiled at the camera in a white swimsuit and orange scarf.

Another photo showed Martha lying on the beach in a frilly brown swimsuit and an oversized straw hat, while a fourth saw the TV personality in the water while wearing a silver zip-up swimsuit and giant white sunglasses.
She was photographed by Ruven Afanador in the Punta Cana area of the Dominican Republic.
Reflecting on the experience, Martha explained that she “doesn’t think much about age” but admitted that being a part of the magazine at 81 is definitely a big deal for her.
“When I heard I was going to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, I was like, ‘Oh, that’s pretty good, I’m going to be the oldest person I think will ever be on a Sports Illustrated cover see is’,” she called.
“And I don’t think much about age, but I thought that was kind of historical.”
“Age isn’t the determining factor for friendship or success, it’s what people do, how they think, how they act that matters, not your age,” she added.
Martha also spoke about the Today show’s cover shoot this morning, explaining that while it was a “challenge” for her, she felt she “overcame the challenge”.
“To me, it’s proof of a good life,” she continued. “I think we should all be thinking about living a good and prosperous life, not about aging.” “The whole aging thing is so boring.”

“I wasn’t starving, but I didn’t eat bread or pasta for a couple of months.” “I went to Pilates every other day,” she explained.
Speaking on the Today show’s cover shoot this morning, Martha explained that while it was a “challenge” for her, she felt she “did the challenge”.
“I live a clean life anyway.” “Good diet and good exercise and healthy skin care and all that stuff, but it was kind of fun.”
She said it was “weird” posing in her swimsuit in front of “all these people,” but joked, “It went pretty well.”
She added that she hopes people would feel “inspired” by seeing her on the cover.
Other SI Swimsuit cover stars for 2023 include actress Megan, 36, transgender Grammy Award-winning singer Kim, 30, and model Brooks, 26.
“There is no subject.” [to this year’s issue] “Rather, there is a vision, a feeling, a hope that women can live in a world where they feel no inner or outer limitations,” said MJ Day, editor-in-chief of SI Swimsuit, in a statement.
“But the absence of a theme doesn’t mean it is.” [these women] do not share certain common characteristics. They are constantly evolving.”

When it came to why she chose the four cover stars, MJ gushed, “She’s never done that in her life.” [Martha] Let your circumstances determine your outcome.
“She has changed with the times – always a step ahead, it seems – and built a far-reaching business empire.”
“Grammy-winning pop star.” [Kim] is a beacon of inspiration for the LGBTQ+ community and paved her own path to superstardom—but it hasn’t been a straight line.
‘[Megan] humbly accepts her stunning beauty while trying to be seen and appreciated as a woman of intellect and inner beauty.
‘[Brooks’] Heart and dedication not only got her the title, but also positioned the 26-year-old for success in business.”
Megan opted for a near-nude look for her cover, wearing just a row of beads and chains. Brooks stunned on the cover in a stunning red swimsuit, while Kim was seen in a sparkling gold bikini.
Megan (seen in 2022) admitted it was “huge pressure” to be on the cover but said she’s excited to take the opportunity to show she’s a “real soul”.
Kim (seen at the Grammys with Sam Smith) told the outlet that she was “proud and happy” to be a part of the cover shoot, adding, “It means being accepted by people, that’s friggin’ nice.”
Spotted by SI’s Swim Search program in 2019, Brooks (seen earlier this week) called being on the cover “empowering” after struggling with “rejection by the millions.”

Kim told the outlet that she was “proud and happy” to be a part of the cover shoot, adding, “It means being accepted by people and that’s pretty darn nice.”
Like Martha, she described it as “challenging” because she needed to build her “confidence.”
“It was a challenge, like, ‘Can you boost your confidence and think you’re hot?'” recalled the Unholy singer, who was shot dead by Yu Tsai in Los Angeles. “Since [the shoot]I feel more like I can do it [anything].’
Spotted by SI’s Swim Search program in 2019, Brooks called the presence on the cover “empowering” after dealing with “rejection a million times over.”
