Stewart — who is one of four cover models for this year's magazine, alongside Megan Fox, Kim Petras and Brooks Nader — told PEOPLE that posing for the cover was a "once in a lifetime" gig.
"It should have been 30 years ago," Stewart said with a laugh. "That would have been great. It was not a goal I set for myself, but once asked, I thought to myself, let's do it!"
"It's important to stand up to challenges, whether they're beauty challenges or intellectual challenges, even philanthropic challenges," she explained. "To be able to stand up and do it — to me — is so fun! And this is accomplishing something that not everybody would accomplish."
