America’s “Queen of Domesticity,” Martha Stewart, 84, has sparked plastic surgery rumors with a recent glow-up on Instagram.
The image, part of an effort to promote her new skin care line Elm Biosciences, comes almost a year after she credited her “good skin” to a homegrown vegetable juice recipe.
Despite this claim–and her latest assertions that her younger and softer looks were due to her magical new serum–the accusation of plastic surgery has surfaced and is now circulating among numerous tabloids.
In an earlier video, Stewart suggested she had been walking in Snoop’s shadow

In 2024, America’s first self-made billionaire posted a video of herself doing her makeup; a procedure reportedly preceded by a vegetable juice routine that she adheres to every morning.
“You might know me as Snoop’s friend,” she said into the camera, and reminded anyone who cared to watch the video that she was, in fact, his torch-bearing cohort at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
“You might know that he is afraid of horses and that I ride horses,” her spiel continued.

“I love everything that I have done in my life,” she gloated.
“I actually started modelling when I was a very young girl,” she said, taking a trip down memory lane.
Stewart recalled how she earned “fifteen dollars an hour, which was a lot better than the 50 cents I was making as a babysitter.”
She used the video to rehash her childhood and how she was one of six siblings, a brood whom she often served as “a second mother.”

Finally, she cut to the clincher and noted that she lives on a farm where she grows her own vegetables for her “green juices.”
“Thus,” she declared while pointing at her face, “good skin.”
In the new photo, her face appeared leaner and smoother with “tighter skin”
Stewart’s fans were there to support her recent installment, but the feedback was not without criticism.
The September 5 photo showed the home economics savant with her made-up face tilted back slightly, sporting features that appeared to have shed two decades.

“This selfie shows how beautifully my skin has responded to every day applications of A30 serum,” the recipe book mogul wrote in the caption.
“My skin is tight. It is very clear. Few pores are evident and my skin radiates good health and good care,” she narrated.
Paris Hilton also weighed in on the transformation
Her fans swooned, Paris Hilton included, with many buying into her promotion unquestioningly, while others appeared to be impressed just because it was Martha Stewart.

“The only icon! She taught me to serve lunches and now she’s teaching me to serve LEWKS,” wrote one person summing up general sentiment.
“Martha, you look d**n good for any age. Period. No explanations need be made,” echoed another.
But not all were sold, and one person addressed what they seemed to think was the elephant in the room.
The critical “plastic surgery” remark drew 900 likes
“I think you’re fabulous,” came the compliment-sandwiched critique. “I understand it’s amazing and your skin looks great.”
“Isn’t it disingenuous not to mention facial surgery, though?” asked the critical follower.
The remark drew 900 likes, suggesting that while a percentage of the respondents were thinking the same thing, they could not bring themselves to say it.

She developed the skincare line with the same professional who partnered with Hailey Bieber for Rhode, Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali.
“And, you know, everybody remarks on my skin. It makes me very happy because I have worked to take care of my skin,” Stewart told the Wall Street Journal in an interview.
Stewart claims she has been using her new range religiously

Stewarts Elm Biosciences range is expected to launch on September 17. Initially, two products will be available: a serum ($135) and an oral supplement ($50).
The 84-year-old says she has been using both “religiously for quite a while now,” suggesting that it is solely responsible for her new look.
Netizens thinks the new look is a combination of editing, makeup, and a good surgeon
