Martha Stewart, the 83-year-old lifestyle mogul, recently shared a striking new selfie on Instagram, capturing attention and admiration from her followers. On April 8th, Clé de Peau Beauté took to the global beauty stage, revealing The Selfie Heard Around the World. This still from their inaugural 2022 TikTok campaign featuring the Thirst Trap Queen herself Ms. Famous for her self-assuredness and high-end aesthetic, Matsuki isn’t afraid to let her colorful flag fly online and still makes a splash on social media.
Her latest selfie has Stewart looking all types of fierce in a silky brown top and sporting an absolutely fabulous sultry makeup look. Her lips pursed, hair sculpted and lacquered into submission, the silhouette evokes an Effie Fashionista’s fantasy. Stewart thanked her glam team for setting up this iconic “wow” moment. She appreciated their crucial functions in her breathtaking gilded glory.
“Thanks @parvinklein for the hair color @julienfarel.” – Martha Stewart
Martha Stewart first gained viral fame for her thirst traps with a pool selfie taken in July 2020 at her East Hampton residence. She wanted to get a photo of her gorgeous turquoise pool and planter. Rather, she happily discovered that the camera was on her!
“I was trying to take a picture of the beautiful turquoise planter at the end of the pool, but the camera was on me, so I just snapped it. It looked so good, so I posted it.” – Martha Stewart
Since then, Stewart’s name has become shorthand for selfies that are cool, fun and totally in control. In that campaign, she was all about projecting confidence in front of the camera—in fact, she suggested that people should “project fabulous.” Her attitude embodies a larger, powerful statement of confidence and being comfortable in one’s own skin.
“It’s no good running around feeling unsure of oneself, or not believing that you can get a job done in the right way, so, I constantly try to get people to just step up, step up to the job and feel good, and be proud of the result.” – Martha Stewart
Stewart’s playful spirit of discovery is evident when she tells you how much fun she has making these wondrous images.
“I love doing those promiscuous, provocative things, because it’s just fun.” – Martha Stewart
