Martha Stewart Responds Brilliantly to Critics Who Say She Should “Dress Her Age”
At 84, Martha Stewart is proving that age is just a number — especially when it comes to style.
The beloved lifestyle mogul recently made waves during her appearance at the Fashion Group International Night of Stars gala in New York. Dressed in a fashionable leather ensemble that turned heads, Stewart was asked about her views on age-appropriate clothing. Her response? Both witty and empowering:
“Dressing for whose age?”
That one line says it all.
Martha has never been one to follow conventional rules — whether in the kitchen, in business, or on the red carpet. Speaking to reporters, she explained that she doesn’t let her age define how she dresses or lives her life.
“I don’t think about age,” she said. “I think people are more and more fabulous than they’ve ever been in their senior years, and I applaud every one of them.”
She proudly admits her fashion sense hasn’t changed in decades:
“I’ve dressed the same since I was 17.”
And it shows — in the best way. From her poolside selfies to gracing the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue as its oldest model ever, Stewart has continued to embrace boldness, confidence, and authenticity.
But for Martha, it’s about more than just appearances. In an interview, she said:
“I’m a teacher. I’m trying to teach others that you can look great. There’s no reason to slump around.”
When asked if she’ll post more “thirst traps,” she replied with her usual sense of humor, joking about snapping selfies with polar bears in Greenland. That playful spirit is exactly why fans love her.
Martha Stewart’s unapologetic attitude is a powerful reminder that self-expression doesn’t expire with age. In fact, it gets better.
