Did you hear the exciting news? Martha Stewart, the talented homemaker, entrepreneur, and lifestyle expert, has just been chosen to join the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model lineup for the 2023 issue! At 81 years young, she's proving that age is just a number and that you can achieve anything you set your sights on. She'll join the ranks of other amazing women like Megan Fox, Kim Petras, and Brooks Nader. It's truly inspiring to see such accomplished women shining in all areas of life.

Martha Stewart is a successful entrepreneur, TV personality, and best-selling author who transformed her catering company into a global media and home-furnishing corporation, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. Her iconic brand includes the Martha Stewart magazine, the popular television show, and the Martha & Marley Spoon meal-kit delivery service. At 15, Stewart began modeling to pay for her college tuition and appeared in advertisements for Clairol, Lifebuoy soap, and Tareyton cigarettes.

Stewart was born Martha Helen Kostyra on August 3, 1941, in Jersey City, New Jersey. She is an American, and her zodiac sign is Leo.

The sexy domestic guru shrugged off her reputation as a decorously entertaining homemaker and turned heads in a daring swimsuit for her SI shoot. The sultry shot was taken in the Dominican Republic and is part of the annual issue that hits newsstands on Monday. Stewart also dished on the other cover models, saying it's useless to try and pigeonhole them. Whether she's a decorated businesswoman, a canny white-collar criminal, or Snoop Dogg's BFF, Stewart is one woman who knows how to spin, drop and switch her inhibitions as adroitly as she switches between her many labels.

During an interview on NBC's "Today" show, Sports Illustrated editor-in-chief MJ Day confirmed that Martha Stewart was the oldest model ever to grace the magazine cover. The day she also acknowledged Stewart's legendary status, highlighting her remarkable success in entrepreneurship and her extensive portfolio of lifestyle books. As the founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia and a popular TV personality, Stewart is widely recognized for her impressive achievements in both business and media.

Stewart modeled a white Monday Swimwear one-piece ($192) and a billowing orange cover-up by Torso Creations for the 2023 issue. Photographed by Ruven Afanador in the Dominican Republic, Stewart wore ten swimwear looks in total for her shoot. She tells the magazine that she was motivated to participate in the shoot because she wants to show that you can look good and feel great at any age.

The 81-year-old homemaker, businesswoman, and author of more than 100 books is joined on the cover by actress Megan Fox, singer-songwriter Kim Petras and five-time SI Swimsuit model Brooks Nader. Stewart had advocated for older women and was a pioneer in the workplace when she became the first woman to serve as CEO of her own company at 62. She recently told Yahoo Life that appearing in the magazine doesn't bother her "one iota." Stewart believes change is perfect and encourages everyone to keep evolving and trying new things.

Can you believe it? Even at 81, the fantastic domestic diva has become a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model! She's got a massive following on Instagram - over four million people - and has been sharing some fun and flirty pictures of herself. If you watch the latest video from SI, you'll see her talking about overcoming her shyness and deciding to bare almost all for the cover shoot. Seeing someone her age and experience going for it like this is inspiring!

Witnessing someone embracing the aging process with such a positive outlook is heartwarming. Her vibrant photos have captivated the internet, and it's no wonder she's gaining so much popularity lately. The editor-in-chief of this E-magazine and website agrees (being almost the same age *male) that she's a great source of inspiration, and we're delighted to support her and her message.
