You know the moment at the hairdresser when you’ve just had your hair washed and your reflection is well, humbling? Well, how would you feel about whipping out your phone and sharing not one, but four selfies to your 1.7 million Instagram followers? Unenthused, we assume.
Well, unless of course you’re 81-year-old Martha Stewart, who just did exactly that. And rocked it, we might add.
In her first of two posts during her hair appointment, Martha captioned her selfie: “lying in the shampoo area. The light was perfect for a new selfie!”
And hot damn, she was right about that. Without a line, blemish or spot on her face, naturally, we all had the same question: what is her secret?
Luckily for us, Martha was in the mood to spill (some of) the beans.
“Skin looking good after a mostly dry January and Pilates every other day,” she wrote. And those of us who suspected a blurring filter? “Absolutely no-reimaging,” Martha proudly noted. And “by ‘re-imaging’ I mean not filtering my selfie,” she clarified.
Understandably, fans weren’t totally convinced that Pilates and one month off alcohol were behind Martha’s near-perfect complexion. And they made that known.
What did Martha’s followers have to say?
One follower commented: “you look amazing but be honest about your facial regimen. Using Botox, fillers, laser treatments etc to help enhance your beauty it’s not just diet, exercise and facials.”
Another said, “Martha you do look great, but you have to admit that you did have some surgery.”
Martha’s response? To post another three selfies from the hair basin, obviously.
The confident queen captioned the images, “my expression was better in the first one but my skin looks great in all of them.”
Hitting back at the trolls calling her out, she said “Unfiltered. No facelift. Great derms my whole life.” She also credited a great diet, exercise and 40 years of facials with Mario Badescu.
Whether you believe her or not, you’ve got to credit Martha for her positive self-talk and confidence! Plus, regular Pilates at 81 is nothing to scoff at.
What do you think of Martha’s selfie? She looks great, doesn’t she!
She looks great, but I’m not convinced it’s a natural look either.
Lol yeah right.
Martha Stewart looks absolutely Amazing she must be using a great Skincare Regime to look like she does wonder if she uses a Gua Sha.
I don’t buy it.
Neither do I.
Don’t know don’t care she looks good, that’s all that matters
Totally agree I couldn’t believe she’s 81!!
Definitely not an 81 year old’s skin!
Agreed. A great surgeon.
She looks good but compared to photos of a few years back she’s definitely had lots of work done.
Some people are mean and she shouldn’t listen to them. She has great skin.
She looks great for 81, if she’s had some work done I don’t really care.
Do not care of her procedures. She just does look great
Not really a natural look for any 81 year old that I’ve ever seen. Looks very similar to someone who has used a lot of Botox, fillers, etc.
omg i am shocked, its not right
Looking great for 80’s
I don’t think people are being mean to her, I think they are calling her out for being dishonest, a nice photo is enough, why say it’s all natural? it’s obvious she is wearing make-up for a start.
Not Martha trying to make her lips all pouty lmao.
Her skin looks great…but I’d be willing to bet she has had botox or something.
Looks good but also looks nothing like her.
Mm, it’s hard to believe that’s completely natural.
The first photo looks like it’s had a filter put on it. The next three look more natural.
She does look great and good on her.
She does pilates at 81! Wow! Good on her!
She got a nice skin.Can’t believe she is in her 80s
she has no wrinkles around her mouth?! that’s amazing!! Jail time served her well. Maybe the lack of UV exposure helped
She probably had a few appointments booked for her first day of freedom
I feel like that photo has a filter
She looks gorgeous!
She’s very photogenic
I’m calling BS on that.
She looks great but I also don’t believe it.
Not buying it, either
She looks amazing and has definitely had the benefits of certain treatments!
She looks great! but definitely, there is something she’s done to her face. what’s her secret?
Okay Martha, you look great…so whats the secret?
Hmm… she does look good though.
