Christie Brinkley is a world-famous supermodel. The beautiful blonde was born in February of 1954 in Michigan before growing up in California. After graduating high school, Brinkley took her first leap of faith and moved to Paris to study art. It was in Paris that her world changed. One day, while in a Paris post office, a famous photographer discovered her. 

Shortly after, Brinkley would go on to sign three national ad campaigns. Brinkley's beauty quickly became a worldwide hit as her rise to fame grew. The supermodel would make history as she graced the cover of three Sports Illustrated magazines three years in a row. Soon it was more than just Sports Illustrated calling. 

Brinkley signed a huge contract with beauty brand Covergirl for 25 years, one of the longest and biggest beauty deals ever. She was also stepping on every magazine cover imaginable, including Vogue, Rolling Stone, Esquire, Harper's Bazaar, Cosmopolitan and Glamour, just to name a few.

Besides striking gold in her career, Brinkley was the apple of quite a few bachelor's eyes. The supermodel would go on to have four marriages. First to François Allaux in 1973, American singer Billy Joel in 1985, Richard Taubman in 1994 and Peter Cook in 1996. Brinkley shares children with Joel, Taubman and Cook. 

Working as a supermodel as well as in the entertainment industry, Brinkley has remained in the public eye all these years. She often does public or press appearances, and the star is just as stunning. In 2022, Brinkley opened up about prioritizing herself and her health. 

Aside from being a world-famous supermodel that fans love and adore, Christie Brinkley is also well-loved on social media as she loved posting throwback photos of herself during the prime years of her modeling career.

To celebrate the 4th of July festivities in 2023, the model shared an old photo of herself on Instagram wearing a white, blue, and red outfit to symbolize patriotism. She accessorized the look with a hat that seemingly resembled the flag of the United States and a pair of red stilettos.

Her right hand was positioned over her forehead, which signified the salute command, and her other hand was holding a sparkler.

In the caption, Brinkley wrote, "Let Freedom Ring!" along with red, white, and blue heart emojis. She also revealed that the photo was from a New York Magazine series back in the day, but she didn't include what year.

Her loyal followers took to the comment section to share their love for the model on the special occasion.

"Stunning! You are a shining example of American beauty! Happy Independence Day!." one wrote.

One fan became nostalgic as they remembered the photo from the past as they commented, "I remember that picture. You were my favorite model."

"This is a fantastic picture. I've never seen it before. Happy 4th," another one greeted.

This wasn't the first time Brinkley shared a photo about her being patriotic, as she also posted a throwback photo of herself wearing an outfit inspired by the flag for Memorial Day in 2023.

"Our flag stands for Liberty, Equality, Freedom, Democracy and Justice for ALL," she wrote in the caption.

Brinkley loves sharing some of her daily activities with her followers and has been active on social media since she created her account. As of July 2023, she has more than 12,000 posts on her page, and some of them consist of throwback shots.

Many of her supporters adored her for her youthful glow despite her age. Fortunately for them, she revealed some of her secrets in a 2022 interview with Byrdie.

Regarding her bouncy and voluminous hair, the model admitted to wearing hair extensions and even had a hair collection at HSN.

"I know some people think that they would never wear extensions because they think they're so fake. But I've been modeling for over 40 years, and I would say the last 20 years or so, extensions have just been a part of a model's life," she said of her extensions line.

In the conversation, the model also revealed the secret behind her flawless skin and one of the main routines she does every day is exfoliating her face.

"I start every day by exfoliating my face. That's something I've done for the past 40 years. I feel like it's really contributed to my skin feeling fresh and smooth," she said.

She started her daily routine after she read an article 40 years prior to the interview, which noted that men look five years younger than women despite them being the same age due to them shaving almost every day.

"The daily exfoliating with shaving their skin makes them look younger. I was like, I'm not going to let them get away with that!" she explained.
