Young Martha Stewart Is Striking with Sweeping Long Hair While Posing with a Cow

Fans have never seen the Yes, Chef! star quite like this.

Martha Stewart posing next to a cow with sweeping long hair is the vibe fans didn't know they needed!

How to Watch

Watch Yes, Chef! on Mondays at 10/9c on NBC and next day on Peacock

The American cultural icon — who will soon make her NBC co-hosting debut in the upcoming reality competition series Yes, Chef! — has a fascinating website that not only is a go-to source for all things cooking, gardening, and lifestyle, but also doubles as a fascinating treasure trove of throwback Stewart photos. The star looks stunning as she strikes a pose in the black-and-white vintage pictures! (The cow looks handsome, too.)

"Ever since I've owned a house, I've craved backyard farmyard animals," she said in an interview for her website.

While the photo itself is undated, it looks to be taken at sometime in the 1960s. Stewart was famously a model during this time in her career and had also become a mother, welcoming her daughter, Alexis, in 1965

"During my modeling days, we didn't have a team of stylists for photo shoots," she confessed. "I had to do my hair myself."

We're sure fans wouldn't mind if Stewart decided to bring back the long hair one day. Of course, that could require wearing a hair net while on the set of her new NBC series, Yes, Chef!

The co-hosts of Yes, Chef! are ready for the show's April 28 premiere

Stewart's big day is almost here! Yes, Chef! premieres on Monday, April 28 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on NBC, following a new episode of The Voice.

Yes, Chef! is co-hosted by Stewart and restaurateur/humanitarian chef José Andrés. And, as it turns out, they knew each other well before teaming up for the show.

"We had known each other for many years, but not a close relationship in any way," Stewart told PEOPLE in April 2025. "I've eaten, I think, at most of his restaurants and been very, very impressed with his work, both in the restaurants and in his humanitarian work."

"Martha has the most beautiful sarcasm ever," Andrés added in the same interview. "She can deliver anything to anybody and just use a smile. She has powers. I say the same thing and they look at me like, 'Excuse me?' She says the same thing and they laugh for her. Really? That's a power!"

We can't wait to see the dynamic between the two influential kitchen legends when Yes, Chef! premieres. Until then, here's everything you need to know about the series!
