Martha Stewart doesnt wear underwear, she wears bathing suits under her clothes
If you told my younger self that one day I would enjoy Martha Stewart, I would’ve said “you’re crackers!” I have no aspirations to be a home or kitchen or hosting maven (though I am an excellent baker, if I do say so myself). No, what I marvel at with Martha these days is her casual IDGAF energy. Here she is at a luncheon in Palm Beach, Florida, wearing a retro floral patterned top that I would love to have in a muumuu, commenting on her preference for wearing bathing suits instead of underwear. As if that weren’t enough, she also seamlessly manages to kinda sorta maybe definitely troll Kim Kardashian and Snoop Dogg. Stop it, Martha! (Don’t stop.)
Martha Stewart has had it with underwear.
The lifestyle legend tells Page Six she only ever wears swimsuits under her clothes “just in case” she “wants to go swimming.”
“I like bathing suits. I like wearing bathing suits under my clothes just in case I want to go swimming,” she told us at the 25th Old Bags Luncheon held at the Breakers in Palm Beach, Fla. benefiting the Center for Family Services Palm Beach County.
“Bathing suits are my underwear,” she declared. “I don’t wear any of that structured stuff. No tight lace, so Skims for Martha. But I love Skims. I think they serve a very good purpose — but I don’t wear those. I only wear Eres bathing suits under my clothes.”
She wondered of the Skims mogul, “Is Kim Kardashian going to be mad at me?” But then she figured, “No, she won’t be mad at me. She knows I don’t wear Skims.”
It’s no wonder Martha loves her bathing suits: Sexy Stewart was on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2023 as the mag’s oldest cover model.
She’s also become known for posting thirst traps on social media, including pics in her pool.
The 82-year-old grandmother-of-two — who is about to publish her 100th book — already has a vast business portfolio herself, of course. But she tells us she’s also had a business boost from her relationship with her buddy Snoop Dogg.
“We work on a lot of projects together, like with Bic lighters, wine. We are also working on Skecher shoes. He’s more than a rapper to me. He is an excellent business man.”
The unlikely duo debuted their cooking show “Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party” in 2016 which ran for two seasons on VH1.
But a different Dr. Dre associate is her favorite on the mic.
“I love Eminem. He is my favorite rapper,” Stewart told us. “I just love his music. He is a genius. He was the first rapper I paid attention to.”
Holy bikini, Batman! I looked up Eres swimwear and they’re $300 – $500+! The cheapest, skimpy bikini top on their site costs $200 (sans bottoms). What’s it made out of, the tears of baby silkworms?! But Martha does have a valid point about always being prepared for the impulse to go swimming. That’s why I always wear parachute gear under my clothes, just in case I get the urge to skydive off a Manhattan building. No, seriously folks, please explain this to me. I’m stuck on several points. For starters, ok so she’s hypervigilant about being ready to strip and take a dip… then what? Does she put her clothing back on over the wet suit? Or does she go commando? (Don’t tell me she has a spare pair of undies in her purse, cause then she’s really just playing with us.) My next question is: since when is a bathing suit more comfortable than underwear? It’s like Spanx that can get wet, which is part of why her diss of Skims is so hilarious.
And Martha is the one bringing up Skims, mind you. She name-drops the brand, insists they serve a “good purpose” (for the peasants, but she wouldn’t be caught dead in them herself), then spends a hot second faux-concerned she might have upset Kim, only to conclude that no she hasn’t. And why? Because of course Kim Kardashian already knows that Martha Stewart doesn’t wear Skims! Why wouldn’t Kim be up to date on Martha’s underwear?! I wouldn’t be surprised if Martha herself called Kim to say, “I just want you to know, I don’t, nor will I ever, wear Skims. You’re welcome.” Click! Which feeds right into her diss of Snoop Dogg, her frequent collaborator. More accurately, it’s like she disses him by what she doesn’t say. After “He’s more than a rapper to me,” you feel like she’s about to say “he’s a friend,” right? No! He’s a businessman! And then she makes sure to add that he’s not her favorite rapper. Miss Martha, you’re a Shady B! And Mr. Dogg, I look forward to your upcoming statement of enthusiasm for Goop as America’s preeminent lifestyle guru.
