For Stewart’s spread, the businesswoman showed skin in a plunging one-piece by Monday Swimwear paired with a billowing orange cape from Torso Creations. Stewart looked as glamorous as ever with her blonde locks styled in bouncy, loose curls. Her ‘do was teamed with warm glam that included blush and a glossy lip. Elsewhere in the issue, the New Jersey native looked radiant in a red halter swimsuit by Norma Kamali. In a different shot, she gave the camera her famous pout while dressed in a metallic look by Body Glove styled with oversized Gucci sunglasses.
The most standout shot, however, is perhaps the look of Stewart — who was photographed by Ruven Afandor in the Dominican Republic — sipping on a martini while lounging in a crochet cover up.
SI Swimsuit editor in chief MJ Day explained that this year’s issue is meant to uplift women. “There is no theme — rather, there is a vision, a sentiment, a hope that women can live in a world where they feel no limitations, internally or externally,” she shared in the article. “But, the absence of a theme is not to say that [these women] don’t share certain common traits.

Stewart, for her part, opened up about her modeling moment on a Monday appearance on Today. “To be on the cover [at] my age was a challenge, and I think I met the challenge,” she told hosts Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie.

Stewart celebrated her on Thursday, May 18 at the launch event in New York City. The 81-year-old, understanding that she was the star of the evening, wore a long-sleeve beaded Jenny Packham gown in a look-at-me shade: gold.

Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle Editor Martha Stewart had just two months to get ready for her already iconic Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover. She upped her Pilates to three times a week, watched what she ate and stopped drinking alcohol. “I had my regular facials but maybe more frequently and I also got a spray tan,” Stewart, who is up for three Daytime Emmys this year, tells me during a phone interview on Tuesday. “And I’m not a hairy person, but I got a complete body wax.” At 81, Stewart made history as the oldest SI swimsuit model. A model in her 20s, Stewart worked with legends like Richard Avedon. “When I was a model and posing all the time in bathing suits and sporty sexy things, that’s the time I should have been on the cover,” she says before adding with a laugh, “But I wasn’t $75-an-hour model then.
