Martha Stewart is the oldest model to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit edition. She called the milestone 'a testament to good living.'
“To be on the cover at my age was a challenge. And I think I met the challenge.”
In preparation for the shoot, Stewart said she “didn’t starve” herself but cut bread and pasta out of her diet while attending Pilates classes every other day — an exercise regimen she has maintained “because it’s so great.”While shooting in the Dominican Republic, the lifestyle influencer and homemaking expert modeled nine bathing suits spanning a variety of styles and colors — from a scarlet one-piece with a plunging neckline to a classic black number with spaghetti straps.
“No tricks” — other than constant validation from the production crew — were employed during the shoot, according to Stewart. Her Sports Illustrated cover photo was shot by photographer Ruven Afanador. “For me, it is a testament to good living,” Stewart said of her latest accomplishment. “All of us should think about good living, successful living — and not about aging. The whole aging thing is so boring.”The 23-year-old was just named the last of the 2020 Rookies for the magazine.
This is far from Stewart’s modeling debut. Long before she became an Emmy-nominated daytime TV personality, Stewart paid her way through college by posing for photo shoots and shooting commercials on the weekends.“Change is very good. Evolution is very good. Trying new things being fearless is very good. ... Don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid of anything.”
