From her delicious meals to her enviable hosting skills, Martha Stewart has always been a source of inspiration.
But the lifestyle queen couldn't help but throw a little shade when Chelsea Handler tried to emulate her sultry pool selfie.
Stewart caught the internet's attention earlier this week when she posted a picture of herself enjoying a dip in the pool at her home in East Hampton, New York.
The photo showed Stewart, 78, blowing a kiss to the camera, her lips and lids glowing with frosted makeup.
"My pool in East Hampton is the place to be on a 89 degree day!" she wrote in the caption, revealing that she had built the pool 39 years ago.
Stewart's post received more than 206,000 likes and hundreds of comments from her adoring fans — including Reese Witherspoon, who called her a "Stunner!"
The picture also caught the attention of Handler, who decided to take her own pool selfie.
"I'm here to take @marthastewart48's swimming lesson," Handler wrote in the caption, tagging Stewart. "If I look this good at 78 I better still have a pool to show myself off in."
It wasn't long before Stewart noticed the selfie, and the lifestyle expert couldn't help but give Handler some pro tips.
"Dear Chelsea I'm so happy that you liked my post well enough to emulate it," she began. "I do think my pool is a little bit prettier than yours and that my facial expression is a little bit more relaxed."
But Stewart was also clearly touched by the photo, and told Handler that she was a "beautiful girl."
"And F****** too young to be emulating me," she added. "Continue with your comedy, your humor, and your amazing ability to gather around you political liberals. We need it! Love Martha."
This isn't the first time Stewart has delighted her Instagram followers.
Stewart was hailed as a quarantine hero back in April when she left a drunk comment on an Instagram video of baby chicks after cracking open a $383 bottle of wine.
"M as me sure you feed and wAter them daily," she wrote. "And keep the heat Iss as no BK in s as Nd when you can finally come back to nyc who is going to care for them??"
Stewart soon realized her comment made no sense, but she took it all in her stride.
"What a mess," she wrote alongside the laughing crying emoji in another comment. "I have been drinking."
