Martha Stewart, the iconic entrepreneur renowned for her culinary expertise and impeccable home decor, is once again making headlines.
This time, however, it’s not for her latest recipe or DIY project.
At 82 years old, Stewart is defying ageist stereotypes and embracing her individuality, particularly when it comes to her fashion choices.
Recently, while attending the Fashion Group International Night of Stars gala in New York City, Stewart was questioned about her approach to dressing at her age. When asked about “dressing for one’s age,” Stewart effortlessly dismissed the notion, responding (via Huffington Post) with “Dressing for whose age?”
Stewart’s rejection of age-related fashion norms is something that is empowering for all women. She boldly states that she doesn’t consider age when it comes to her wardrobe choices, saying: “I don’t think about age. I think people are more and more fabulous than they’ve ever been in their senior years, and I applaud every one of them,” per Page Six.
Her confidence is evident as she proudly states: “I’ve dressed the same since I was 17.”
Beyond her red carpet appearances, Stewart has been making waves on social media with her bold fashion statements. From poolside snapshots to becoming the oldest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model in history, Stewart fearlessly embraces her sensuality and self-expression.
In a candid interview, Stewart expressed her delight at being recognized as a sex symbol at her age, viewing it as an opportunity to inspire others. “I’m a teacher,” she declared, as per Huffington Post. “I’m trying to teach others that you can look great. There’s no reason to slump around.”
When asked about her future plans for posting “thirst traps” on social media, Stewart maintained her trademark wit and spontaneity. Whether joking about capturing a snapshot with a polar bear in Greenland or simply leaving it to fate, Stewart’s playful attitude towards life is both endearing and inspiring.
Stewart’s refusal to conform to ageist stereotypes should inspire us all to realize that self-expression knows no age limits!
