81-year-old Martha Stewart makes history as Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model.

Martha Stewart, the 81-year-old lifestyle guru, has made history by becoming the oldest person ever to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition. The iconic magazine, which has been featuring models in bikinis since 1964, has long been synonymous with youth and beauty. However, Stewart has shattered ageist stereotypes and proved that age is just a number.

In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Stewart explained that she wanted to inspire other women to embrace their bodies and feel confident in their skin, regardless of their age.

"I think that it's important for women to see someone my age in a swimsuit," she said. "I mean, there aren't that many women my age who would be asked to do this, but I think it's important for everyone to know that you can still look and feel great at any age. It's all about attitude and confidence."

Stewart's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover has been described as historic, not only because of her age, but also because of her status as a successful businesswoman and household name. She has built an empire on the foundation of her homemaking skills and has since expanded her brand to include cooking, gardening, and crafting. Her cover appearance is a testament to her enduring popularity and relevance, even in the highly competitive and constantly evolving media landscape.

Stewart has been a role model for many women over the years, and her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover is sure to inspire a whole new generation of fans. Her message of self-acceptance, body positivity, and empowerment is one that resonates with women of all ages and backgrounds, and it's a message that we can all learn from and aspire to. At 81, Martha Stewart has proven that there are no limits to what a person can achieve if they believe in themselves and their abilities.
