Martha Stewart Poses At 82 Years Old For ‘Sports Illustrated’ Cover In Gold Sequined Dress

Martha Stewart stunned once again as a Sports Illustrated cover girl in celebration of the magazine’s 60th anniversary. The lifestyle guru was joined by other inspiring women like Gayle King, plus size model Hunter McGrady, Chrissy Teigen, Kate Upton, Christie Brinkley, Megan Rapinoe, Paulina Porizkova, and Tyra Banks to grace the publication’s cover.

Martha stood out in a gold sequined gown, which she paired with matching jewelry and heels. The 82-year-old looked elegant in the dress featuring a cape that cascaded down her arms and back, while her lush blonde hair fell to her shoulders in a side part, framing her glammed-up face near-perfectly.

Martha’s post received over 23,000 likes and hundreds of comments praising her gorgeous looks and blossoming modeling career. “Martha, you have definitely found the fountain of youth,” someone gushed. “Martha’s gown is stunning! She looks fantastic. All the ladies look beautiful,” another added.

Martha blew everyone away last year when she debuted as a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model in a white one-piece that showed a more sultry side to the TV personality. She made history as the outlet’s oldest cover girl and delivered nothing short of gorgeous to the viral issue. She admitted it was quite challenging to pose in swimwear at her age; however, she enjoyed every bit of it.

Martha revealed that she cut off bread and pasta and amped up her workouts ahead of the shoot to look that good. She is unbothered about aging, noting that she “wouldn’t go back to my 20s if you paid me all the money in the world.”

Martha continues to “try new things every single day,” regardless of how old she gets. Her daring approach to life has not come without criticism either, with social media trolls accusing her of too much cosmetic surgery and acting inappropriate for her age group.
