Martha Stewart is putting herself in front of the camera more than ever before.
The 81-year-old was unveiled as one of four cover stars for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2023, with her cover appearing on Today on May 15. Martha, who joins Megan Fox, Kim Petras, and Brooke Nader as 2023 swimsuit cover stars, humbly reacted to the cover shot, which portrays the former TV anchor reclining on the beach in a plunging white one-piece suit and billowing gold jacket, and said, “I like that picture.”
She then disclosed that she was asked for the job for the first time in November.
“That was a request I’d never had before,” Martha explained to hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb. “Being on the cover at my age was a challenge.” And I believe I succeeded.”
With only a few weeks between the call and the shoot, she went into depth about how she prepared for the big day.
“I didn’t starve myself, but I didn’t eat any bread or pasta for a couple of months,” stated the businesswoman. “I went to Pilates every other day, which was fantastic. I still go to Pilates every other day since it’s so beneficial.”
“I live a relatively clean lifestyle, with a healthy diet and regular exercise,” she continued. “And healthy skincare, and all of that stuff.”

She also attributed her accomplishment to leading a healthy lifestyle and not worrying about aging. “I believe that all of us should consider good living, successful living, and not ageing.” “This ageing thing is so boring,” she remarked. “You understand what I mean.”
And what about the shot itself? “It was kind of fun,” Martha replied, smiling. “I mean, they were prodding me, pinching me, and pouring water over my head.”
“There’s no tricks, actually, no tricks,” she continued. “I mean, they say you look okay, which is wonderful. They serve to reaffirm the fact that what you’re doing is acceptable.”
Savannah highlighted that Martha’s swimsuit cover modeling venture is consistent with her overall “yes” attitude, as evidenced by her willingness to open up about her experience with online dating several years ago.
“One of my mottos is, when you’re done changing, you’re done,” Martha responded. “Change is good, evolution is good, just try new things.” It’s great to be fearless.”
“Don’t be afraid,” she continued. “Don’t be afraid of anything.”
