Smashed it!

Entrepreneur, writer and TV presenter Martha Stewart has added more to her list of accomplishments after becoming the oldest person to feature on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

At 81 years old, she has made history with the latest front page of the sports magazine.

Martha Stewart is now among other famous cover girls including Tyra Banks, Kim Kardashian and Megan Thee Stallion.

The culinary icon is one of four cover models for this year’s issue, which aims to celebrate powerful women who “live in a world where they feel no limitations, internally or externally”.

The other models were actor Megan fox, model Brooks Nader and musician Kim Petras.

Martha’s shoot was photographed in the Dominican Republic by renowned photographer, Ruven Afanador.

She looked absolutely beautiful wearing a chic white swimsuit by Monday Swimwear and a vibrant orange cover up by Torso Creations.

She wore gold jewellery by Anita Ko and Jacob & Co.

“I don’t think about age very much”

The shoot consisted of 10 outfit changes – each as beautiful as the last.

Stewart looked beyond comfortable in front of the camera posing for one of the most elite magazines in the US.

In a video posted by the publication, Stewart said: “When I heard that I was going to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, I thought, ‘Oh, well that’s pretty good.’

“I’m gonna be the oldest person, I think, ever on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

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

Stewart was on the cover of many magazines but one that’s most similar to this one is the 1996 cover of Spy magazine.

Sitting in an over-sized clam shell, Martha looked super sexy as she posed naked for the front page.
