Maye Musk's 2022 SI Swimsuit Cover Shoot

Maye Musk might be a modeling industry legend, but she’s so much more than just that. In 2017, the dietician became CoverGirl’s oldest spokesmodel and released a memoir, A Woman Makes a Plan: Advice for a Lifetime of Adventure, Beauty, and Success, two years later.

Last year, Musk not only made her SI Swimsuit debut, but she also landed the cover and became the oldest woman to do so.

“If I thought I could be a swimsuit model for Sports Illustrated, people would have locked me away as a crazy lady. And now here I am. And I’m very excited about the photo shoot,” Musk said at the time. “I’m very excited that they’ve decided that even older women can wear swimsuits and look great. I think they’re going to give a lot of hope and inspire many young women to know that you can wear a swimsuit and look great at any age, and women around the world are going to be so excited. I think it’s really going to change how women feel when they walk out in their swimsuit.”

The 74-year-old, who began modeling at 15, is mom to three successful children: producer Tosca Musk, billionaire businessman Elon Musk and restaurateur Kimbal Musk. She discussed what it was like to raise them as a single mother in her book.
