When it comes to women in swimsuits, it's never just about swimsuits. Take lifestyle guru Martha Stewart, who at the grand age of 81, slipped into a one-piece to pose for the cover of Sports Illustrated's 2023 Swimsuit Issue. Or actress Mindy Kaling, who lost close to 15 kilos to model the swimsuits of the range she designed in collaboration with a fashion brand.
I know how we were supposed to react to these pictures. We were meant to marvel at the spectacle of an 81-year-old who is fit enough and glamorous enough to score a cover pic - in a swimsuit no less. How brave of dear Martha, we were meant to exclaim, to put herself out like that! How amazing that a woman in her eighties could look so good! What an utterly brilliant example she presented of not letting age define you!
