Celebrity chef, homemaker, and television personality, Martha Stewart, 82, made history by being the oldest woman to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit issue.
According to Martha, at a Las Vegas fashion event, she had only two months to get ready. “So let’s just say I’m now an avid Pilates fan,” she said.
Stewart revealed that though she didn’t starve herself, she didn’t eat any bread or pasta for a couple of months. She lived a clean life – had a good diet, a good exercise routine which consists of pilates every day, and a healthy skincare routine.
Stewart revealed that though she agreed to feature in the issue, there was one thing she wouldn’t do which was posing on bare midriffs. “Bare midriff. I can’t do that anymore and no amount of Pilates can help me with that,” she pointed.
Stewart posed in nine different swimsuits for the island photo shoot.
