Looks like Martha Stewart, 81, has traded in her cooking apron for a summer bathing suit to pose on the cover of the latest issue of Sports Illustrated.

The DIY craft and home decor queen just made history as the oldest person to grace the cover of the renowned magazine’s swimsuit issue. For her iconic debut, Stewart rocked voluminous blonde curls with a one-piece white swimsuit and an orange shawl draped over her shoulders.

While talking with the magazine, Stewart knew that her cover debut would be one to remember. “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 publication. “And I don’t think about age very much, but I thought that this is kind of historic.” 

For her cover spread, Stewart’s photos were taken by Ruven Afanador in the Dominican Republic (per Glamour). As for her various swimsuits? The entrepreneur and best-selling author stunned in an array of designer swimsuits from names like Norma Kamali, Zimmerman, Yves Saint Laurent and so much more.

Stewart was just one of four cover models chosen for the issue, which included Megan Fox, Kim Petras and Brooks Nader.

Martha really can do it all.
