If you ask Martha Stewart, there’s nothing that a good night of beauty sleep can’t cure.
The TV personality and retail mogul took to Instagram on Friday to share a glamorous bathroom selfie with fans. In the photo, Stewart is seen wearing a luxurious gray nightgown and matching robe with frilly, white embroideries.
Stewart said in the post that her glamorous slumber helped remedy the aftereffects of an unpleasant plane ride.
“After an eight hour plane trip from westchester to palm beach – horrible by the way – we went to bed early and wore my beautiful (Sabbia Rosa) nightgown (linen with robe),” Stewart wrote. “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!!”
The selfie earned Stewart praise from fans in the comments section, including some of Stewart’s famous friends.
“Smoke show!! ❤️🔥😍,” actress Ellen Pompeo commented.
“Thrist Trap Martha is my favorite Martha,” user @avdoeswhat wrote.
“We were due for a thirst trap and the people have been waiting! 🔥,” user @thegluterecruit wrote.
“if this isn’t living don’t know what is,” entrepreneur Kim Kaupe commented.
“Sheesh! Save some sexy for the rest of us Mama! 😍,” TV personality Lauren Makk wrote.
Stewart has previously opened up about her unapologetic style. While on the red carpet for the Fashion Group International Night of Stars gala in October, the 82-year-old businesswoman was asked by Page Six about the idea that people of a certain age should stick to dressing in a particular way.
“Dressing for whose age?” Stewart replied, when asked about the topic. “I don’t think about age. I think people are more and more and more (fabulous) than they’ve ever been in their senior years, and I applaud every one of them.”
Style coach Megan LaRussa told USA TODAY that Stewart’s comments push back against a narrative that women should conceal themselves more as they age.
“She’s not hiding herself just because she’s 82,” LaRussa said. “Where I think a lot of women can go astray with their style is they think, ‘Oh, I’m getting older, so therefore I need to hide my body,’ or ‘I can’t wear short sleeves anymore,’ or ‘I can’t stand out too much.’ “
