Beyond her undeniable prowess as the domestic doyenne, the 80-something has cemented herself as an unwavering fashion and beauty icon. Read on to revisit some of her most famous fashion moments over the decades.

No one rocks a pantsuit like her.

There are few celebrities whose names are also considered a noun and a verb—but national treasure Martha Stewart is one such person. 

An influencer before that was even a concept, the New Jersey-born media personality reaches up to 100 million people around the world each month, according to the Public Broadcasting Service, helping them to enhance their lives with her dispatches on everything from cooking and entertaining to home renovating, pet care, and crafting. Hence we can say that something is “so Martha Stewart” or “we’re Martha Stewart-ing this weekend,” and everyone will know what we mean.     

Beyond her undeniable prowess as the domestic doyenne, the mogul has cemented herself as an unwavering fashion and beauty icon. A staple presence on the New York City social and philanthropy scene, as well as an attendee at tent pole fashion, pop culture, entertainment, and sporting events throughout the year, she’s proving that not only do blondes have more fun, but octogenarians have even more. 

Read on to revisit some of her most famous fashion moments over the decades, so you too can be “a little more Martha” next time you get dressed.

At an Oscars Party, 1993

At an event in New York City, 1984
