Martha Stewart has delighted her fans on social media with a stunning "thirst trap".
The 82-year-old took a break from celebrating her vacation in Italy to share a seductive-looking selfie that certainly left her 1.9 million followers breathless.
The after-dark selfie was taken in a 13th-century castle "remade by a very creative couple into a special resort of extraordinary quality," according to her caption on Instagram. "The heated pool in a stone tower was the perfect place for a new selfie!" the TV personality said, explaining it was just the style she wanted: "Dark. Candle lit. Mysterious."
The bestselling author added that she was "relaxing before a massage" before celebrating the "@brunellocucinelli_brand founder's 70th birthday in Solomeo."
Of course, Stewart's picture was taken well with her followers as they inundated her comments section with praise. One user wrote: "Queen of the thirst trap," with a fire and queen emoji, while another said: "CASTLE THIRST TRAP," with five heart-eyed emojis.
A third user remarked: "Martha is back with the thirst traps," and a fourth quipped: "Martha breaks the internet...again!"
Martha's latest thirst trap seemed to be a reference to the viral photo she took in 2020 in which she showed off the same pout while cooling down in a pool.
Speaking about her love for risqué selfies to PEOPLE earlier this summer, Stewart said she may have plans for more pictures in the future.
"I'm leaving in a couple of hours to go to Greenland, so I doubt I'm going to be doing any thirst traps there… But, you never can tell…. Maybe there'll be a polar bear in the background," she joked.
While fans are loving the lifestyle guru's heated picture on the social media platform, they weren't too pleased with her using "a small iceberg" to chill her cocktails on a cruise from Iceland to Greenland last week.
Stewart sparked backlash after sharing a deck of photos to Instagram on Monday (August 28) that showed the icebergs in their natural state. However, what angered her followers the most was the TV star adding a picture of two chunks of ice on a kitchen cart, ready to be made into cocktails, and another snap of her smiling while using a "small iceberg" to chill her alcoholic beverage.
"End of the first zodiac cruise from @swanhelleniccruises into a very beautiful fjord on the east coast of Greenland," Stewart wrote in the caption. "We actually captured a small iceberg for our cocktails tonight."
It wasn't long until her followers flooded the comment section to condemn her use of the ice blocks as one person wrote: "Hey Martha, I really love what you do for the most part, but an iceberg? When they’re melting? When the planet is on fire? It’s not a good look."
However, Swan Hellenic Cruises - the company that runs the cruise that Stewart was on - has a page about their commitment to sustainability on their website.
They stated that they care "deeply about our planet's rich environmental and cultural heritage," and that a trip with the company is "one of the most sustainable choices for anyone looking to explore our beautiful planet."
