The personal style that makes Martha Stewart a fashion influencer, and her streetwear line – she’s turning 81 on a roll
- Martha Stewart is living her best life as a bona-fide fashion influencer, not just a lifestyle guru, and counts Snoop Dogg, Justin Bieber and Drake as friends
- Stewart, who turns 81 on August 3, favours neutral colours and simple silhouettes – her favourite brands include Ralph Lauren, Hermès and Brunello Cucinelli
Television personality, lifestyle guru and self-made billionaire Martha Stewart is living her best life.
She is now also an official hypebeast and has collaborated with streetwear brand Anti Social Social Club for a line that includes hoodies and T-shirts printed with cheeky photos of the doyenne seductively eating an oyster and enjoying a lobster.
While Stewart is mainly known for her impeccable taste and for decorating homes, cooking lavish meals and throwing the perfect party, she is also a fashion maven – as these little-known facts about her fabulous life show.
When it comes to her personal style, she is a fan of neutral colours and simple silhouettes – often pairing tailored trousers with a cashmere jumper or a flowy kaftan when she is on holiday.
In 2004, Stewart was famously sentenced to five months in jail for insider trading after selling 4,000 ImClone shares one day before the biopharmaceutical firm’s stock price plummeted.
She made headlines when she showed up to her trial carrying one of her many Hermès Birkin bags, which some saw as a bit tone-deaf. On the flip side, supporters released Free Martha T-shirts that sold out on the internet.
Back in 1996, People magazine named Stewart one of the “50 Most Beautiful People in the World” – but she looked even better 25 years later in a glamorous shoot for Harper’s Bazaar.
Smack in the middle of the pandemic in the summer of 2020, Stewart posted a selfie from the pool in her East Hampton summer home.
The post went viral and became a meme for not just her sultry pose but for her beautiful make-up, which featured eyeshadow and lipstick in pastel hues and a sun-kissed glow that perfectly matched her complexion.
