Yahoo Lifestyle Martha Stewart Teases 'Fantastic' “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit” Legends Shoot with Past Cover Models (Exclusive)
Stewart joined past 'SI Swimsuit' models including Christie Brinkley, Tyra Banks and more for the epic photo shoot
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 60th Anniversary Legends photo shoot promises to be, well, legendary.
The magazine brought together 29 of its past models for the epic shoot — and they've all been teasing it since early March, when they came together in Florida for a glam photo shoot (by Sports Illustrated Swimsuit favorite Yu Tsai) that's sure to break the internet when the issue drops in May.
Past models like Paulina Porizkova, Kate Upton, Brooks Nader, Winnie Harlow, Leyna Bloom, Molly Sims and many more are part of the shoot.
Martha Stewart, one of the magazine's 2023 cover models, tells PEOPLE while discussing her new role as a member of QVC's Quintessential 50 that the 60th anniversary photos are "so beautiful."
"It's all the super girls!" she gushes over the women she joined for the photo shoot. "I mean, Christie Brinkley and Tyra Banks and all of them. Fantastic. And I look just as good as they did, which was even better. I'm joking, of course."
Stewart made Sports Illustrated Swimsuit history last year with her cover: She was 81 years old at the time that it ran, making her the oldest cover model the outlet had ever had. Previously Maye Musk was the oldest cover model at 74 in 2022.
Stewart told PEOPLE in 2023 that her cover shoot, lensed by Ruven Afanador, was a "once in a lifetime" job but she joked that it should have happened "30 years" earlier.
"That would have been great. It was not a goal I set for myself, but once asked, I thought to myself, let's do it!" she said.

The lifestyle entrepreneur views her modeling gig as not just something she had fun with but also something to show women that they can be sexy and achieve amazing things no matter their age.
"It got something like 108 billion impressions," she tells PEOPLE recently. "It made other women feel good. It made women feel like there are possibilities. If Martha Stewart can pose in a bathing suit at her age and look good and give the impression of utter success and happiness, then why can't they?"
