Christie Brinkley still knows how to turn heads at 71! The supermodel made an awesome entrance ahead of her guest appearance on The View in a stunning all-pink outfit as she promoted her memoir, Uptown Girl, released on April 29.
Brinkley recently celebrated her 71st birthday, and each of her children surprised her with separate birthday cakes. However, the mother of three does not seem to be aging. She arrived at the studio dressed in a youthful look with a sleek button-down blouse, matching mini shorts, and a tailored blazer, which confirmed her secret of balancing age and looks.
Christie Brinkley’s beauty mindset
The supermodel completed the monochrome look with a pearl necklace, a black handbag, and pointed heels, letting her blonde hair down on her shoulders. Over the years, Brinkley has often prioritized her health and wellness over unrealistic fashion, beauty standards, and physical appearance.
In an interview, Christie Brinkley shared that she has learned to choose non-invasive skin treatments rather than relying on trends or heavy cosmetic procedures, especially after suffering from skin cancer in the past. “I’m aging at my own pace,” she said in a recent conversation, revealing her desire to maintain her natural look, fine lines, and wrinkles and avoid looking overly “done.” Although the beauty industry has expanded, Brinkley admits that people, especially women, cannot escape aging. Hence, she continues to advocate for more authentic representation and celebrates the growing visibility of older women in media and fashion. Still, she believes there is plenty of room to grow.
Healthy living
The 71-year-old stays energized by practicing yoga, spinning sessions, and scenic bike rides. She also lives by what she calls a “gift-yourself” philosophy. As a long-time vegetarian, she focuses on eating with intention and rejects the traditional idea of restrictive dieting.

With her latest memoir, fans are thrilled to see more of her reflections, from her modeling career to the wisdom she has gained over the decades in the spotlight.
