Martha Stewart’s Instagram Mastery: From Accidental Thirst Trap to Selfie Expert

In a recent Instagram post, the ever-vibrant Martha Stewart, at the age of 82, once again captivates her audience with a steamy bathroom mirror selfie. The silver nightgown-clad Stewart playfully recounts her less-than-ideal journey from Westchester to Palm Beach and attributes her refreshed look to the glamour of her @sabbiarosa nightgown. Humorous and unapologetically candid, she quips, “I didn’t look so bad when I got up, at least not as bad as I did when I went to bed – it must be the $$$$$ outfit!!”

This latest post echoes the infamous July 2020 poolside selfie that inadvertently turned Stewart into a “thirst trap” sensation. In a revealing interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in April 2021, Stewart disclosed the flood of proposals and propositions she received post-virality. Unfazed by societal norms, she has since embraced the role of a “thirst trap expert,” even providing selfie tips in a TikTok campaign for beauty brand Clé de Peau Beauté in February 2022.

Stewart’s poolside mishap, initially a camera mishap while trying to capture a turquoise planter, has evolved into a deliberate pursuit of provocative moments. In a PEOPLE interview in November 2020, she admitted to enjoying the fun of such escapades. “I love doing those promiscuous, provocative things, because it’s just fun,” she shared.

This social media evolution challenges stereotypes about age and showcases Stewart’s fearless and playful approach to life. As she continues to actively seek the next captivating moment, it’s clear that for Martha Stewart, age is no barrier to having fun and redefining expectations on social media.
