Martha Stewart is back at it with another thirst trap selfie on Instagram. On Sept. 3, the 2023 SI Swimsuit Issue cover model offered up a moody close-up pic captured inside the Hotel Castello di Reschio in Italy. The 82-year-old pursed her lips for the camera with her blonde hair pinned back as she frolicked in the resort’s pool.

“The #castellodireschio is a 13 century castle remade by a very creative couple into a special resort of extraordinary quality,” Stewart wrote in her caption of her surroundings. “The heated pool in a stone tower was the perfect place for a new selfie! Dark. Candle lit. Mysterious. Relaxing before a massage and ablutions prior to @brunellocucinelli_brand founders 70th birthday in Solomeo.”

“we live for the Martha selfies😍,” one of Stewart’s 1.9 million followers on the platform commented.

“Martha breaks the internet…again!” someone else added.

“My autumn mood board in a single image,” another fan gushed.

“Visual poetry!” singer-songwriter Jewel declared.

The Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia founder’s expression was very similar to that of her OG thirst trap pic, which she posted three summers ago from her East Hampton pool. She recently reflected on the July 2020 photograph with People, and noted simply that “it looked so good, so I posted it.”

“Now I'm looking for the next thirst trap,” she told the publication, perhaps foreshadowing her most recent snap. “I love doing those promiscuous, provocative things, because it’s just fun."
