Many also praised Christie for being a good mentor to sailors, who chose a modeling career path just like her mother did. “You literally ARE a legend, a supermodel legend & a most beautiful one at that. And Sailor is following in Your gorgeous footsteps too,” a comment read.
Being a supportive mother
Sailor has been thriving in the modeling industry for years, having worked with publications like Sports Illustrated and Vogue. She has also collaborated with her mom several times, including Elie Tahari’s runway show during New York Fashion Week 2019. Christie has made her path easier by giving her loads of advice and support to thrive as a model.
Despite being a model, Sailor has had her struggles with body dysmorphia, insecurities, and eating disorders. She opened up about her struggles in 2020 while confessing to comparing herself with other women on Instagram. Unfortunately, her condition worsened due to comparison from critics who expect her to be just like her celebrity mother or better.
