Supermodel Christie Brinkley dazzles in a stunning pink ensemble while promoting her latest memoir, proving that age is just a number.
At 71, Christie Brinkley continues to defy the odds and redefine aging in the public eye. The iconic supermodel made a memorable entrance on May 6, 2025, ahead of her guest appearance on The View, dressed in a vibrant all-pink outfit that showcased her youthful spirit. Brinkley was in high spirits as she promoted her memoir, Uptown Girl, released just a week prior on April 29.
Brinkley celebrated her 71st birthday recently, with each of her three children surprising her with separate birthday cakes, a testament to the close bond they share. Despite the passing years, Brinkley’s radiant appearance has left fans and followers in awe, with many commenting on her ability to look as vibrant as she did in her forties.
During her appearance on The View, Brinkley sported a chic button-down blouse, matching mini shorts, and a tailored blazer, completing her look with a pearl necklace and pointed heels. Her blonde hair cascaded down her shoulders, enhancing her youthful demeanor.
In a candid interview, Brinkley shared her beauty philosophy, emphasizing the importance of health and wellness over adhering to unrealistic beauty standards. "I’m aging at my own pace," she stated, revealing her preference for non-invasive skin treatments after a past battle with skin cancer. She expressed her desire to embrace her natural look, including fine lines and wrinkles, and to avoid appearing overly 'done.'
Brinkley’s commitment to authenticity extends beyond her appearance; she advocates for greater representation of older women in media and fashion. She believes that while the beauty industry has evolved, there is still significant progress to be made in how aging women are portrayed.
To maintain her energy and vitality, Brinkley engages in various physical activities, including yoga, spinning sessions, and scenic bike rides. She adheres to a "gift-yourself" philosophy, focusing on intentional eating as a long-time vegetarian, and occasionally indulging in a glass of prosecco to savor life’s little pleasures.
On the same day as her appearance on The View, Brinkley took to Instagram to share a photo with fellow supermodel Cindy Crawford, who is 12 years her junior at 59. The snapshot sparked a flurry of comments from fans who noted the striking resemblance in their youthful appearances, with one fan exclaiming, "Two absolute living legends!"
Brinkley and Crawford were at the Glorya Kaufman Performing Arts Center in Los Angeles for a Live Talks event, where Crawford moderated a discussion about Brinkley’s memoir. Brinkley expressed her gratitude on Instagram, stating, "I am STILL wondering how I got so lucky as to have living legend icon @cindycrawford moderate my @livetalksla for the launch of my mémoire Uptown Girl. She was so wonderful! Smart, fun, and a real pro... she should have her own chat show."
Crawford also shared the moment on her Instagram story, highlighting the enjoyable evening spent discussing Brinkley’s book. During the event, Brinkley donned a leggy black form-fitting turtleneck paired with high-waisted shorts adorned with gold button detailing, further showcasing her timeless style.
The memoir Uptown Girl is inspired by the 1983 hit song written by Brinkley’s former husband, Billy Joel, and reflects on her life, career, and the wisdom she has gained over the years. Fans are eager to delve into her reflections and experiences as a prominent figure in the fashion industry.
In a related note, Cindy Crawford and her family, including husband Rande Gerber and their children, Presley and Kaia, have recently partnered with the lifestyle brand Vuori for their Spring/Summer 2025 campaign. Gerber discovered Vuori in a small Malibu boutique and quickly formed a connection with the brand, leading to a long-term collaboration.
Rande Gerber expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating, "This official partnership with the Gerber family marks an exciting milestone for Vuori that's been years in the making. A genuine friendship followed, rooted in mutual respect and shared values, and now we're excited to take that connection even further."
As the Gerber family joins forces with Vuori, they aim to embody the brand's principles of connection, quality, and innovation, merging effortless style with performance. Kaia Gerber noted, "What inspired me most is how fully the Gerbers embody the very principles that define Vuori – living a multidimensional life, staying authentic, fostering genuine connection, and a commitment to making a positive impact."
As Brinkley continues to inspire with her ageless beauty and positive outlook on life, her memoir serves as a reminder that age is merely a number, and the journey of self-acceptance and authenticity is what truly matters.
