Martha Stewart Becomes Oldest Sports Illustrated Model at 81

Let’s be real – it’s a historic moment when a woman over 80 makes the cover of Sports Illustrated. Martha has officially become the oldest SI cover model ever at the age of 81. The chef and TV personality is one of four cover models for this annual Sport’s Illustrated issue, including Kim Petras, Megan Fox, and Brooks Nader.

When Stewart first heard that she was selected for the gig, she mentioned in an interview that she thought to herself, “Oh, well that’s pretty good. I’m gonna be the oldest person, I think, ever on the cover of Sports Illustrated.”

While the celeb mentioned that she doesn’t think about age too often, she did think that this opportunity would be a historic moment and one that she wanted to look her best for. Martha Stewart was photographed by Ruven Afanador in the Dominican Republic. In the shot, she has a radiant smile and is rocking a cleavage-baring white one-piece with Marylin Monroe vibes. Stewart clearly isn’t afraid to show some skin in her older age.
