Christie Brinkley and Sailor: A Match Made in Model Heaven at RH Manhasset Launch
SUPERMODEL CHRISTIE BRINKLEY STEALS THE SHOW AT RH MANHASSET UNVEILING
The iconic 71-year-old supermodel Christie Brinkley proved that age is just a number as she turned heads alongside her lookalike daughter Sailor at the exclusive unveiling of RH Manhasset at The Gallery at Americana in New York on Thursday. The event was the perfect platform for the mother-daughter duo to showcase their stunning fashion sense and bond over their shared love of glamour.
Christie, who has been a household name since the 1980s, looked absolutely breathtaking in a navy dress that showcased her supermodel figure. The daring thigh-high split revealed her endless legs, sending shockwaves through the crowd. She completed her look with a billowing beige trench coat and stilettos, carrying just the essentials in a sparkling shoulder bag. It's no wonder she has been a Sports Illustrated cover girl multiple times!
Sailor, 27, who is following closely in her mother's footsteps as a model, looked like a dead ringer of Christie in a silky blue night midi dress and matching beige trench coat. The blonde beauty wore classy strappy heels and carried a chic Yves Saint Laurent clutch bag, exuding elegance and poise.
The mother-daughter duo was joined by London Jewelers co-owners Candy and Mark Udell as RH celebrated its new store launch in Manhasset. However, the evening was not all about business; Christie and Sailor also rubbed shoulders with American former tennis player Patrick McEnroe and his actress-singer wife Melissa Errico. The two women were seen laughing and chatting, enjoying each other's company.
But what's really got everyone talking is Christie's recent response to her ex-husband Billy Joel's heartbreaking health update. The Piano Man singer revealed that he has been diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), a condition that affects hearing, vision, and balance. Christie took to social media to issue a touching message to her ex-husband, who was married to her from 1985 to 1994.
In the post, she shared footage of them attending one of Billy's recent concerts with their daughter Alexa Ray Joel, 39. She also included a clip of Alexa and Billy backstage, where he playfully sang along to his hit song "You May Be Right." Christie captioned the post: "Dear Billy, the whole Brinkley gang is sending you lots of love and good wishes for a full and speedy recovery."
But what really got everyone's attention was when she mentioned Billy's ability to make an entire arena feel like a living room. She wrote: "You turn an arena of strangers into a living room full of friends as we all sway in unison... I'm sure I'm speaking for everyone in that room when I say please take good care of yourself, we all want you back in that white hot spotlight."
The post has left fans and friends alike sending their well-wishes to Billy Joel. Meanwhile, Christie Brinkley continues to slay the fashion game with her timeless style and unwavering elegance.
