Martha Stewart just keeps getting hotter.

Stewart has been an integral part of American culture since her first cookbook was released more than 40 years ago, and she became the country's first self-made female billionaire in 1999.

But the 82-year-old has been making waves for more than just her cooking and entrepreneurial prowess. She's become an icon for embracing your senior years — and looking damn good doing it.

Stewart made history once again when she became the oldest woman to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated's 2023 Swimsuit Issue, and she regularly posts thirst traps on Instagram that rival the Kardashians.

But while Kim and her kin have frequently discussed their fear of aging, Stewart is proudly — and loudly — thriving.

The former model made headlines in October after saying she refuses to dress a certain way because of her age.

"I don't think about age," she told Page Six. "I think people are more and more and more fabulous than they've ever been in their senior years, and I applaud every one of them."

Stewart was also quick to defend Dolly Parton after the 77-year-old country-music icon was criticized for wearing a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader uniform while performing during the Washington Commanders and Cowboys game on Thanksgiving Day.

"She looks great!" Stewart told Business Insider. "I looked at a picture, and I thought, 'God, she's fantastic.'"

"If you look like Dolly Parton, you can dress any way you goddamn please, she's fabulous," she added.

And while cosmetic work continues to boom in Hollywood, Stewart told Variety that she's never had any plastic surgery.

"Every now and then, there are certain fillers that I can do for a little line here or there, but I hate Botox," she said during the May interview. "It's a weird thing for me. I really and truly don't do a lot."

Stewart has credited her glowing skin to Mario Badescu facials and products and her daily homemade green juice, which she told BI is one of the five recipes she thinks everyone should learn how to make.

"If you have my green juice every day, you would just feel great all the time," she said.

Stewart's showing no signs of slowing down. She continues to partner with major brands (including with her best friend Snoop Dogg), has her products in major supermarkets and department stores, opened her first restaurant in Las Vegas, and is currently writing her 100th book.

Leave it to Stewart to prove that what they say is true: like a fine wine, we really do get better with age.
