Here we are again: A company not particularly known for being diverse has used inclusion as a way to “break the internet.”
This time, it’s Sports Illustrated, featuring 81-year-old business tycoon Martha Stewart in stunning beachwear as the oldest model to grace the cover of its swimsuit issue.
Stewart is not your average octogenarian. She’s outrageously rich, reportedly worth $400 million, and just so happens to be Snoop Dogg’s business partner and best friend. And yet, despite being such a force in her own right, she admitted that, while she didn’t “starve” herself, she stayed away from bread and pasta for a couple of months and took Pilates classes every other day to “prepare” for her cover shoot, presumably to ensure she got as close as she could to the universal body standard we’ve come to know and hate in this country.
