Ruven Afanador photographed the cookbook author in the Dominican Republic for the shoot. She sported 10 different elegant swimsuits which included a sassy red Norma Kamali one-piece.

Talking about her historic photos, Stewart said,

“When I heard that I was going to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, I thought, ‘Oh, that’s pretty good, I’m going to be the oldest person I think ever on a cover of Sports Illustrated,’”
“And I don’t think about age very much, but I thought that this is kind of historic.”

The popular celebrity chef continued,

“Age is not the determining factor in terms of friendship or in terms of success, but what people do, how people think, how people act, that’s what’s important and not your age.”
