Martha Stewart looked youthful as she was spotted in New York City following an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show on Wednesday.
The lifestyle maven, 83, appeared like a woman half her age as she wore a pair of black leather slacks tucked in black knee high boots.
She added long-sleeve black turtleneck sweater beneath a cropped black wool jacket with elbow-length puffy sleeves and a subtle plaid.
Her long blonde bob was parted on the side and styled in loose straight layers as she had on pink lip gloss.
This comes after the lifestyle specialist fumed that the director of her Martha documentary, R.J. Cutler, made her look like ‘an old lady.’

Her segment on current trends was scheduled to be shown at a later date on The Drew Barrymore Show.
Stewart has been getting a lot of attention for the new documentary, Martha on Netflix about her life and career.
After it was released on October 30, the Martha Knows Best star, complained that director R.J. Cutler made some decisions on the final cut, with which she was unhappy, charging the Emmy winner used unflattering camera angles and left various anecdotes on the cutting room floor.
During the film, the influencer revealed some interesting tidbits about her private life, including what it was like losing her virginity at age 19 to Andrew ‘Andy’ Stewart, who would later become her husband.
She confessed to having a secret affair, and a friend claimed Andy also cheated on her with a staff member at their Connecticut home.
However, at an earlier stage in the film, Martha looked back on the early days of her and Andy’s romance at the dawn of the 1960s.
Swept off her feet by the ‘exciting’ and ‘sophisticated young man,’ Martha went to bed with him, and has now shared: ‘He was very aggressive and I liked it.’

Martha met Andy through his sister, who was a classmate of hers at Barnard College and arrived at the university everyday in a Rolls-Royce.
Andy, who was then a student at Yale Law School, captured Martha’s imagination and won her affection on their very first date.
‘He picked me up in his little yellow Mercedes sedan. I had never been in a Mercedes before,’ she recalled in the documentary.
‘We went out to dinner. He was very polite and handsome and he had travelled a lot. It was exciting to meet a sophisticated young man, and he had an American Express card, which was a very big deal in those days. And he was just intriguing, playful and nice. By the end of dinner, I was madly in love,’ she dished.
‘Andy was so nice, not at all like my father,’ said Martha, who previously recalled her father Edward Kostyra drinking red wine and coffee in the mornings before work.
She remembered that Andy ‘would send me money for a train ticket, and I would visit him every single weekend up at Yale. I had never slept with anybody before this. He was very aggressive and I liked it.’
Once Andy ‘proposed,’ Martha felt that it ‘seemed such a natural thing to do, fall in love and get married. But I went home and told my dad, and my dad slapped me, and he slapped me hard on my – on my face and said: “No, you’re not marrying him. He’s a Jew.” I remember getting that slap.’
She added: ‘I was not at all surprised, because he was a bigot and he was impulsive but I said: “I’m gonna get married no matter what you think.”’

While the television personality recently opened up about having a secret affair during the marriage herself, the film revealed she was left devastated after finding out Andy had cheated with a staff member who was living at Turkey Hill Farm, the former couple’s Westport, Connecticut home.

The unfaithfulness lead to their separation in 1987
Martha’s friend Kathy Tatlock recalled that Andy’s unfaithfulness left the stalwart ‘frantic’ and that she harmed herself – and that she took out her frustrations on her other employees.
Kathy recalled: ‘There were rumors floating around that Andy had some sort of involvement with the girl who was doing the flower arrangements at Turkey Hill Farm.
‘Martha was picking up on everything and getting more and more upset.
‘She would be frantic, migraines and sleeplessness. At one point, she showed me where she tore her hair out of her own head.
‘She was mean to her staff. She had lost control of Andy, so she was making everybody pay.’
Speaking of her ex-husband’s mistress, Martha said that the employee needed a place to stay, so she invited her to move into an apartment in a barn on their property.
‘When I was traveling, Andy started up with her,’ she said. ‘It was like I put out a snack for Andy.’
Martha claimed that she confronted the woman. She continued: ‘I kicked her out immediately. You know, “What the hell are you doing?”‘
Reflecting on the heartbreak, Martha added: ‘Andy betrayed me, right on our property. Not nice.’
The couple share daughter Alexis, whom they welcomed in 1965.
Giving further insight into the marriage, Kathy said Martha and Andy seemed ‘more like colleagues than partners in life.’ She said: ‘Andy was extremely busy in his publishing business and when he was around, it was always strained.
‘She was critical of him, in terms of what he’d be wearing or how he said something.
‘Andy handled her business arrangements over the years. They were much more like colleagues than partners in life.
‘They were in different universes and when Martha wanted Andy to be present in her universe, he wasn’t able to be there.’

In the trailer for the documentary, Martha made the bombshell confession that she also cheated on Andy during their marriage.
She began: ‘Young women, listen to my advice, if you’re married and your husband starts to cheat on you, he’s a piece of s**t. Get out of that marriage.’
But a producer quickly called her out for also being unfaithful.
‘Didn’t you have an affair early on?’ they quipped, to which Martha replied, ‘Yeah, but I don’t think Andy ever knew about that.’
