Martha Stewart's 'Thirst Trap' Sparks Age-Defying Beauty Rumors!

Martha Stewart fans were doing a double take and wondering how the 84-year-old looked so youthful in a thirst trap photo that went viral after she shared it on social media on Thursday

Martha Stewart, 84, Sets Social Media Ablaze with Scorching Hot Selfie

In a shocking display of age-defying beauty, Martha Stewart sent shockwaves through the internet with a sizzling selfie that left fans and critics alike speechless. The 84-year-old lifestyle mogul, known for her impeccable taste and strict adherence to etiquette, gave a whole new meaning to "age is just a number" with her sultry snap.

The photo, shared on Stewart's Instagram page on Thursday, showcased the domestic goddess in all her glory. With a full face of makeup, including a luscious pink lip color that would put any 20-something-year-old to shame, she raised a bottle of Elm Biosciences A30 Elemental Serum as if it were a trophy. Her shoulder-length blonde hair was styled in loose layers, parted on the side with effortless chic.

Many fans thought her flawless face was the result of cosmetic surgery

The picture quickly went viral after being picked up by Pop Crave and shared on its X account. The reaction was instantaneous, with fans and non-fans alike taking to the comments section to dissect every inch of Stewart's face.

"It looks like she's had a facelift... or three!" exclaimed one commenter.

"Girl, you're aging backwards! I'm dying over here!"

Others speculated that it was all due to the power of plastic surgery. "I bet my bottom dollar she's had some serious work done on her face and jaw," declared a fan.

However, not everyone was convinced that Stewart had resorted to drastic measures. A few enthusiasts thought she was simply "Aging like fine wine! The lighting in this selfie is absolutely perfect."

But the majority of commenters couldn't help but wonder: "What's behind Martha's miraculous transformation?"

The answer lies in the new company Stewart has launched, Elm Biosciences. According to her Instagram post, the 84-year-old beauty mogul was holding a bottle of their A30 Elemental Serum, one of two products offered by the brand.

But what really caught our attention was the video shared on Elm Biosciences' Instagram Stories. It appears that a makeup artist applied the serum as the first layer for Stewart's youthful-looking photo. Talk about a multi-tasking beauty trick!

Stewart took to her own Instagram page to gush about her experience with the product, claiming that it had transformed her skin in just a few days.

"This selfie shows how beautifully my skin has responded to every day applications of A30 serum," she wrote next to the photo. "My skin is tight, it's very clear, and few pores are evident. It radiates good health and good care."

But what really got our attention was the hefty price tag: $135 for a bottle of serum that promises to deliver "tight, radiant" skin in just a matter of days.

Of course, no luxury skincare product launch would be complete without a supplement to match. Elm Biosciences' Inner Dose Daily Supplement is billed as a "daily blend of adaptogens, antioxidants and essential minerals" designed to target "inflammation, stress, and hormonal shifts."

We can't help but wonder: Is this the secret to Martha's age-defying beauty? And at $135 a pop, can we really afford it?

Stay tuned for our in-depth review of Elm Biosciences' products and find out if they're worth the hefty price tag.
