Christie Brinkley, 63, Is Back in Her Bikini for Sports Illustrated - with Her Daughters!


Christie Brinkley first covered the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 1979 (then set a record by landing the covers for the next two years). For decades thereafter, she toured the world posing in one exotic location after another, before hanging up her barely-there bikinis in 2004. But now, at the age of 63, she’s returning to the SI Swim family, proving her agelessness once again. And this time, she’s brought along two very special guests.

Brinkley is joined by her daughters, Alexa Ray Joel, 31, and Sailor Brinkley Cook, 18, in the magazine, on newsstands Feb. 15, and she says their encouragement was key to getting her back in her bikinis.

“My first thought was, ‘At my age? No way!'” she tells PEOPLE exclusively in this week’s issue. “When I turned 30, I was like, ‘This is the last time I’m posing in a bathing suit!’ When this issue comes out, I’ll be 63. I thought, ‘Those days are over.’ But to get to do it with my girls, I thought, ‘One last go!'”

In the sexy spread, the trio wears coordinating black swimsuits, including a cutout mesh one-piece on Brinkley, as they stand on the shoreline of an idyllic Turks & Caicos beach. Brinkley also poses solo in a number of skimpy two-pieces, including the show-stopping red bikini below.

Sailor, Brinkley’s younger daughter with ex-husband Peter Cook, who has already dipped her toe into the modeling world, says theSI Swim experience was “very empowering and liberating.”

Alexa, however, had a different reaction when asked to participate in the shoot and “needed to be talked into embracing new experiences.”

And even though Brinkley admits to battling her own insecurities, she hopes her bikini-clad return will spark a conversation on ageism in the industry. “In a country that’s very ageist, people love to put you in little boxes,” she says. ‘Women feel very limited by their numbers. On a personal level, I thought, if I can pull this off, I think it will help redefine those numbers and remove some of the fear of aging.”

For more on Brinkley, her gorgeous daughters and their life with a supermodel mom, read this week’s issue of people, out on newsstands Wednesday.

Funny thing about life. Sooner than later aging catches up with you, regardless of how painstakingly you pursue the fountain of youth. Regardless of your sacrifices. So I ask, is it not better to enjoy life and partake of certain indulgences within moderation. The daughter on the left looks more natural, happier. Now I could be wrong but that's how I read it.

Amen to that. When I was young, I thought it be cool to meet a female into working out. Now? They're more intense than men I know.

Life's too short not to enjoy it.
 
Well she has been smart enough to make good use her most obvious assets.
 
Before her on a Friday night while his sister was out on a date, he just sat at home..
 
Maybe......
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
But sometimes a fantasy
Is all you need

Perhaps he learned that
You should never argue with a crazy mind mind mind mind mind

I believe the daughter on the left, the one she had with Billy Joel, attempted suicide about 5 years ago. Although I'm sure much has changed I don't think you can tell much about their happiness from this picture. It does make me very happy though
 
Because she was caught red-handed cheating on him, only because she was in a helicopter crash with her lover?
Joel and Brinkley were already secretly separated for months before that helicopter crash. She even tried to hide it to the media after the crash with that People's article of Brinkley surviving the crash with her "friend" during her vacation with her daughter Alexa in Colorado while Joel was in Chicago. Joel (3) and Brinkley (4) have been married a total of 7 times between them. Evidently neither one is meant to be married.
