TL;DR Summary

Martha Stewart, at 81, has become the oldest woman to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit issue. While her appearance has been praised, it has also sparked conversations about aging and beauty standards. Some have called for high-profile women like Stewart to "age honestly," while others see her appearance as a challenge to decades of invisibility and stereotyping of older women. The magazine has taken a different approach in recent years, featuring models such as Halima Aden, Leyna Bloom, and Katrina Scott. The Martha Stewart issue goes on sale Thursday, featuring other celebrity models such as Megan Fox and Kim Petras.
