Martha Stewart
Domestic arts empress
Martha Stewart is an American businesswoman and media personality who built an empire around homemaking, cooking, and domestic lifestyle.
Her name functions as shorthand for meticulous home aesthetics and elaborate entertaining: She went full Martha Stewart for the dinner party.
Stewart's 2004 prison sentence for obstruction of justice made her a punchline, but she emerged with her brand intact and later gained cultural cachet through an unlikely friendship with Snoop Dogg.
