Any expansion of a narrow and often punishing beauty ideal is probably good.Īnd Stewart isn’t the first or only Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model to break the tiny-20-something-girl-with-big-boobs mold. This year, the magazine is shaking things up, and essentially saying, “the elderly can be super-hot, too.” In a culture that ties youth to beauty, the women the magazine deems among the most beautiful in the world are typically many decades Stewart’s junior.
Stewart does indeed look amazing on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and her presence there is historic: She’s the oldest cover model in the history of the Swimsuit edition, long an annual festival of the hottest of hotties: gorgeous, sun-kissed women who are (with a few exceptions) improbably thin and busty – and also young. In case it’s not obvious, I’m in the second group.
