Martha Stewart revealed her latest magazine cover as she sizzled on the front of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2023.

The 81-year-old showed off her stunning assets as the publication's oldest ever cover star. Martha shared the cover with audiences on the Today show.

Her hair was styled into a gorgeous bouncy blowout and she opted for a natural, dewy makeup look for her cover debut. Martha modelled a plunging Monday swimsuit in white, which is worth $192.

She covered up with a billowing orange cover-up made by Torso Creations on the front of the iconic glossy cover.

Appearing on the Today show to debut the cover, Martha looked thrilled to see herself on the front of the magazine and after having an official first look, she said: "I like that picture" before applauding herself.

"To go to an island and get changed into nine different bathing suits in one day in front of all of those people and it turned out okay!" she told the show's hosts about her experience on the shoot.

Martha appeared to be taking the major moment in her stride as she admitted that she doesn't "think about age very much," in regards to being the oldest cover girl.

“When I heard that I was going to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, I thought, ‘Oh, that’s pretty good, I’m going to be the oldest person I think ever on a cover of Sports Illustrated,'” she told the magazine.

“And I don’t think about age very much, but I thought that this is kind of historic.”

She continued: “Age is not the determining factor in terms of friendship or in terms of success, but what people do, how people think, how people act, that’s what’s important and not your age.”

Martha is no stranger to sharing her impeccable good looks and ageless beauty with the world, and back in February she shared some of her beauty secrets with fans.

“I start every morning with my signature green juice, which I make with fresh ingredients from my farm,” the celebrity chef told Page Six. “This is key to maintaining healthy, glowing skin.”

Martha also recommended some pricey products for those who want to emulate her looks, including a $310 serum a $795 night cream and a $310 mask infused with 24-karat gold.
