Martha Stewart Stuns in Dazzling High-Slit Metallic Dress, Leaving Everyone Speechless

Martha Stewart, 82, showcased her glamour in a series of Instagram photos on Friday, October 13. She flaunted her legs in an elegant high-slit metallic dress crafted by designer Andy Chia Yu. The dress is accented with a stylish metallic tassel that ties at the front, along with quarter length sleeves that elegantly cinch at the bottom. Stewart completed her look with coordinating metallic open-toed pumps and stunning dangly silver earrings.

Stewart sported a stylish, voluminous bob that framed her face, showcasing her stunning blonde locks. The talented makeup artist Nicole Daisy Toye enhanced her look with a touch of glamour, adorning her lips with a vibrant pink shade, accentuating her eyes with black eyeliner, and adding a shimmery metallic smokey eyeshadow that complemented her dress.

In the accompanying caption, Stewart expressed her excitement to dress up occasionally. She acknowledged the incredible work of fashion designer Andrew Yu, who crafted her versatile silver dress. The photograph was beautifully captured by her trusted makeup artist, Daisy Toye.

Stewart donned the stunning ensemble for her presence at the Hudson River Park 25th Anniversary Gala in New York City on Thursday, October 12th. As per the official website of the gala, the prescribed attire for the occasion was "cocktail" with a special emphasis on incorporating elements of the "silver anniversary".

The event was organized to celebrate the nonprofit organization, Hudson River Park Friends, and their twenty-five years of commitment to preserving the park, which is renowned as a peaceful retreat for the local community. During the gathering, Stewart had the opportunity to interact with other attendees at Chelsea Piers. The evening included a delightful combination of cocktails, dinner, a live auction, and a special comedic performance by Ronny Chieng from The Daily Show. Alongside numerous other notable figures, Stewart holds a position on the honorary committee of this nonprofit organization, which boasts celebrities such as Julianne Moore, Diane von Furstenberg, Alan Cumming, Neil Patrick Harris, Martin Short, Eva Chen, and Andy Cohen.

In a departure from her usual modest attire, the TV personality stunned in a high-slit dress. Fans have lovingly given her the nickname "coastal grandmother" due to her association with the popular TikTok trend. To grasp the essence, imagine Diane Keaton's characters in Nancy Meyers movies, sporting flowy button-downs, linen trousers, pull-over sweaters, and floppy hats, all of which are key elements of the coastal grandmother aesthetic.

When questioned by InStyle in a 2022 interview about her thoughts on being labeled a "coastal grandmother," Stewart responded, "That's good! I mean, I am a grandmother." However, she added that she doesn't personally identify with the trend, jokingly saying, "I could never be in those [Nancy Meyers] movies. I work every day! I'm not retired yet, maybe when I retire in 20 years…maybe."
