The magazine dubbed her the “OG of influencers,” and we can’t disagree. Martha Stewart first emerged on the scene in the 1980s, when she began writing cookbooks and appearing on TV after gaining success as a chef. Since then, the star has written a whopping 99 books, and hosted several cooking shows. She’s also launched her own lifestyle magazine and released her own home, cooking, and clothing product lines.
The editor-in-chief of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit stated, “Never in her life has she let her circumstances dictate her outcome. She’s changed with the times – always one step ahead, it seems – to build a wide-reaching business empire.”
Kim Petras is also breaking boundaries as the second trans woman to make the Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover. These days, magazines traditionally focused on the male gaze now celebrate people of all genders, ages and sexualities.
