Age clearly doesn’t dim the power of a well-timed glamorous and sultry social media moment. A recent wave of viral Instagram posts proves that the right light, confidence can make any selfie stand out, no matter how old you are.
Martha Stewart’s poolside snapshots routinely set social feeds ablaze, now the businesswoman has finally broken down to tell us exactly how to replicate her results. Her latest pic drew praise from celebrity admirers, Lauren Sánchez, Thalía, Paris Hilton, and Busy Philipps and more, who all chimed in with likes and comments.
Speaking with PEOPLE magazine, she stressed that timing is everything. “Well, don’t try to take it if you’re looking bad. When you’re looking good, that’s when you take a selfie.”
She continues, “And if you have good makeup or you just happen to look good that day, take a selfie. Set yourself up with a good light or good light, daylight is oftentimes very, very flattering. And take some pictures. And then discard the ones that don’t look good. Don’t let anybody see those.”
Beyond her own feed, Stewart fronts a new Knorr campaign, complete with uncanny look-alikes, which has her reflecting on years of Saturday Night Live impressions. Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Chloe Fineman, and seven other cast members have parodied her, yet one performer tops her list.
“That’s a lot of comedians to impersonate Martha. And my favourite was a guy impersonating me: David Spade. David Spade is my favourite…”“And then of course there’s Ana Gasteyer, who’s done me and still does me. She just did me on Drew Barrymore’s show. So it’s weird, but it’s funny.”

I was allowed to be out of my house eight hours a day.”
When Jimmy asked if her parole officer gave permission, she quipped: “No, that b******.”
