Martha Stewart, 83, is radiant in yellow at screening of Netflix documentary Martha during Hamptons Film Festival… after calling project ‘lazy’

Martha Stewart beamed Friday at the opening night screening of the Netflix documentary Martha of the 32nd annual Hamptons International Film Festival.

The documentary – directed by RJ Cutler – will be released on the streaming service on October 30.

Stewart made for a stylish presentation in a tan lace button-front blouse and sleek gold trousers.

Martha layered the look by donning a vibrant yellow knit cardigan to help her stay warm during the fall weather.

The star’s blonde locks were parted to the side and fell in light waves, past the tops of her shoulders.

Her makeup was glamorous for the display and consisted of a coat of mascara on her lashes and a warm blush on her cheekbones.

To finish the look, the media personality also opted for a glossy nude shade on her lips.

Martha said she “had a collaboration contract” with Cutler, saying, “We were going to work together — and then he had to do the final edit.”

Stewart went on to explain that the second part of the documentary “doesn’t mention all my collaborations.”

‘I’ve had so many fantastic collaborations with thousands of amazing employees who have worked so hard [and] like-minded people that I am really proud of.

‘The fact that they don’t even play a role in this, it’s not fair, I think, in a story about my life. That’s what really made me me,” the star added.
