Martha Stewart made a memorable appearance on the premiere episode of the sixteenth season of *The Real Housewives of New York City* (RHONY), as she paid a visit to her long-time makeup artist and new cast member, Daisy Toye. The episode aired on 8 September and showcased the dynamic between the two women, revealing both a working relationship and a personal bond that has flourished over the years.

Daisy Toye, who has worked alongside Stewart for an impressive 17 years, welcomed the culinary icon into her home in Brooklyn for a makeup session before a public event. Reflecting on her experiences with Stewart, Toye shared her initial nervousness during the first visit. “The first time Martha came to my house, I was so nervous,” she recalled. “Oh my God, it’s not nice enough. But like now, I don’t care. Like, I live in a little two-bedroom apartment with popcorn ceilings. I don’t care. She loves it.”
Despite Toye’s laid-back attitude towards her home, Stewart, known for her impeccable standards, took the opportunity to share her culinary expertise during the visit. As she scoured Toye’s kitchen, her keen eye quickly honed in on a store-bought pie, sparking a humorous yet pointed critique. “What do you have in this kitchen… store-bought pie?” Stewart exclaimed. “Oh, come on.”
Toye shot back, attributing the pie to her husband, Eugene Toye. “That’s Eugene!” she insisted, trying to deflect Stewart’s disapproval. In true Stewart fashion, the celebrated domestic mogul offered to impart her knowledge, saying, “I’ll teach you how to make pie, so you don’t ever have to buy a pie.”
Acknowledging the light-hearted tension, Toye later confessed on camera, “I can’t believe I didn’t hide that f—ing apple pie. Anything store-bought like that, she’ll go nuts.” This banter between the two highlighted both their friendship and Stewart’s unwavering dedication to the craft of cooking.
The kitchen inspection did not end there. Stewart, ever the perfectionist, noticed the way Toye arranged her cookware and suggested, “You should really turn your pots around,” to which Toye defensively replied, “But the outsides are ugly.” In a bid to encourage cleanliness, Stewart advised, “Well, you have to clean those.”
Stewart’s criticisms extended to a checkered teapot sitting atop the stove, which she did not hesitate to express disdain for, stating, “That — I hate that. It doesn’t go in here. You have so much to do in here.”
The episode showcased not only Stewart’s culinary authority but also revealed the playful rapport between the two women, built on their years of collaboration. Toye holds a special place in Stewart’s life; she quipped on the show, “Daisy is makeup artist to the stars. At least one star: me. If you can call me that,” underscoring the affection Stewart has for her long-time friend.
Throughout the episode, viewers were treated to candid moments that reflected both the challenges and the joys of maintaining a close professional relationship. Toye, despite acknowledging Stewart’s high standards, expressed confidence in her home. “But my apartment’s always Martha Stewart-ready,” she remarked, demonstrating her commitment to keeping up appearances, even in a small Brooklyn flat.
As the latest season of RHONY unfolds, fans can expect to see more of the interactions between Stewart and Toye, highlighting themes of friendship, professionalism, and the culinary arts. The episode not only served as an entertaining introduction to the season but also illustrated the enduring bond between a mentor and her protégé, encapsulating the spirit of both Stewart’s influence and Toye’s dedication.
