Stewart last had an elevated style moment at the Hermès spring 2024 ready-to-wear fashion show during Paris Fashion Week in September. She wore a white cashmere jacket with a vintage shirt and toted the brand’s 2001 Birkin bag.
This has been an exciting year for Stewart. In May, the celebrity, became the oldest person (at 81 years old) to appear on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. “It’s actually had an extraordinary response from women everywhere in the world because they feel there are new possibilities for them. That was my objective,” Stewart told WWD in June about the cover. “Other than being very glamorous and gorgeous in those pictures, it really served a very good purpose and it attracted a tremendous amount of attention for my brand. It got 100 billion impressions.”
