For her Swimsuit cover, which she described as a "historic moment," Stewart posed in multiple outfits in various colors, including white and red.

Stewart has revealed that she has no plans to model for Playboy despite her recent sexy cover appearance for Sports Illustrated Magazine's 2023 issue alongside Megan Fox, Kim Petras, and Brooks Nader.

The female entrepreneur said during a recent interview with Variety that her conservative upbringing wouldn't allow her bare her body in a manner as expected by such a collaboration.

"No. I would never have done Playboy. I found that a very improper magazine because I was brought up a prude. We were very conservative," Stewart told the publication.

She added, "When we changed clothes, we closed the bedroom door. We were not overt – except my middle sister was overt."

While Stewart was adamant about not working with Playboy, she did not share whether she had once received an offer from the sensual magazine.

In her chat with Variety, Stewart shared that she has avoided plastic surgery, adding that her excellent looks mainly come from eating healthy, taking vitamins, and other non-invasive beauty measures.

She said, "I've had no plastic surgery whatsoever. I have very healthy, good hair. I drink green juice every day. I take my vitamins. I eat very healthfully. I have excellent skin doctors. I'm cautious in the sun. I wear hats, and I wear sunblock every single day."

Doubling down on her remark, she revealed that "now and then there are certain fillers that I can do for a little line here or there" before reiterating her dislike for "Botox."

"I didn't starve myself, but I didn't eat any bread or pasta for months. I went to Pilates every other day," she said, per Daily Mail. "I live a clean life anyway. Good diet, exercise, healthy skin care, and all of that stuff."

Stewart acknowledged that being the oldest person to appear on a magazine cover was a "historic moment" before admitting she "doesn't think about age very much."

"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'" the cookbook author and TV personality said.

However, she said that posing for the swimsuit cover in the crew's presence felt "odd," although she found the entire process "fun."

She hoped her cover appearance would "inspire" others out there, implying that it was never too late to try new things.
