Martha Stewart Makes History as Sports Illustrated’s Oldest Cover Model

said of her cover shot, which made its reveal on Monday during NBC’s airing of “Today.” Stewart said the entire ordeal has her in shock. “I’m sort of shaking because it’s odd to go to an island and get changed into nine different bathing suits in one day, in front of all those people, and it turned out okay,” Stewart said of the shoot, which took place in the Dominican Republic.

The lifestyle influencer went on to explain that SI reached out to her in November of 2022 and told her that she’d have to be ready by the end of January to pose for the cover. “That was kind of a request that I’d never had before,” Stewart said. “And to be on the cover at my age was a challenge, and I think I met the challenge.” When Stewart says “challenge,” she was referring to the lifestyle changes she made to be personally comfortable with her body for the cover.“I didn’t starve myself, but I didn’t eat any bread or pasta for a couple months.

I went to pilates every other day, and that was great,” Stewart said. “I live a clean life anyway.”Thrilled to be on cover of the @SI_Swimsuit issue!

I hope this cover inspires you to challenge yourself to try new things. Pick up on newsstands May 18th! #SISwimsuit #SISwim23 @ruvenafanador pic.twitter.com/DsRgLr6crKModeling isn’t new for Stewart, as that was the opening to her professional career in media and entertainment.
