When Christie Brinkley’s gorgeous complexion made her the face of Cover Girl cosmetics in the 1970s, that was just the beginning of a career in the beauty and fashion industry that would span nearly 50 years.

As a model, Christie graced the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue for three consecutive years and has appeared in numerous ad campaigns, television shows, and movies throughout her entertainment career. She’s been known for her beautiful smile and stunning figure for years, but there is much more to Christie than her looks.
Christie’s beauty certainly helped catapult her to fame, but her success isn’t just skin deep. She’s an entrepreneur who, in her 60s, launched successful ventures like an apparel line for HSN and a zero-sugar sparkling wine. The mom, model, and businesswoman says she’s not slowing down anytime soon.
Christie Brinkley is a timeless beauty who, at age 70, has a message we all might need to hear.
She celebrated her birthday on July 23 and had a hot take on entering her seventh decade she wanted to share with her fans. She posted on her Instagram page,
“All this talk about age! But I think 70 is the new 40, a great time to take on new challenges, volunteer, travel, or start a new company. The sky is the limit. Now is a great time to make your dreams and goals a reality! Here’s to loving the age you’re in!”
Fans loved the sentiment and agreed age is just a number.
One person wrote, “If we are limiting ourselves because of our age, we’re defeating ourselves before we’ve even tried. I find your example truly inspiring and full of the zest for life you live in daily. Go Christie!”
This person concurred, “I think you’re magnificent! Thank you for this message today. You are a thought provoker, leader, and innovator. Really appreciate this!”
