Christie Brinkley’s daughter could’ve been her twin in the supermodel’s latest social media post, which saw her celebrating a friend’s wedding in a tropical location. The 72-year-old took to Instagram to share a carousel of photos from her getaway with her youngest daughter, Sailor Brinkley-Cook, as they dressed to the nines for a destination wedding.
While Christie looked incredible in a striped wrap dress and an eye-catching pendant necklace, Sailor wowed in a burnt orange gown with a plunging cowl neckline, complete with a large pendant necklace.
They both wore their blonde locks down and looked just like twins as they raised their arms in the air in a matching pose. “Sophie and Tyler’s Wedding Part One Ile de Bandor,” Christie wrote in the caption. “You and Sailor looked beautiful!!” said one fan in the comment section, while another added: “You and Sailor would be the show-stopper of [the] wedding.”
Christie is embracing her freedom in her 70s, and recently shared with Social Life magazine that she had never felt better. “I think that, with age, you get…freer,” she told the outlet. “You do what you wanna do when you wanna do it. I think that there’s a freedom that comes with age, and that’s quite wonderful.”
“You know what you like. You know what you don’t like,” she continued. “And you don’t feel like you have to put up with the stuff that you don’t like anymore.”
“Of course, my life has had a million ups and downs, highs and lows, tragedies and scandals and all of the above,” the mother of three added. “But I think that, throughout it all, I’ve always been grateful for wherever I am in the moment. I always say that I’m happiest in the moment.”

“I’ve always had very strong legs, and because of this screwed up world and all the beauty standards pushed at us from such a young age, I thought that my strong legs were something to be ashamed of,” she said in an Instagram video.

Sailor added that it was her “duty” to showcase her athletic legs and defy the expectation that models should all be stick-thin. “Remember guys: It’s a waste of time to hate your body, it’s disrespectful to not appreciate it and wear the [expletive] shorts and the minidress,” she concluded.
