The photo above is of Christie Brinkley hamming it up on the red carpet for the St. Barth Hamptons Gala, which she hosted and which two of her companies, Bellisima prosecco and Kristie Brinkley skincare, sponsored. It was also sponsored by Social Life Magazine, the July issue of which Christie covers. The photospread is… interesting. On the cover it looks like Christie is an amalgamation of Michelle Pfeiffer and Bo Derek circa mid 80s, which Christie seems to enjoy. There’s so much photoshopping that you can’t even recognize her new face and we’ve only just gotten used to it. Of course Christie is all about hyping her lifestyle, her sexiness and her easy glamour so she loves the pictures and praised the photographer. We don’t have many quotes from her interview, but of course they’re not groundbreaking at all. Here’s some of what she told Social Life:
Her aspirations and things that make her happy
‘I want to drive across America and sail around Greece and Sicily. I want to see the Aurora Borealis and the icebergs before they disappear. I want to speak fluent Italian and learn to dance hip-hop.’In the magazine, Brinkley rattled off a list of things that put a smile on her face, which include shows such as Saturday Night Live and Stephen Colbert, attempts to dance and yodel, and her ‘kids, friends’ and ‘puppies.’
On an elephant interrupting her SI swimsuit shoot with her daughters
“We were looking for elephants to be in the background of our Sports Illustrated Swimsuit pictures, when we suddenly broke through some bushes and I found myself eye to eye with a surprised and angry mother protecting her baby,” the supermodel told Social Life Magazine. “She raised her trunk and trumpeted a warning! If I had large ears, I would have flapped them back at her [but] we clapped our car doors to show that we meant business too!”“We were two moms willing to die to protect our babies. I knew from that day forward I would always love and try to do my part to protect this matriarchal society of loving, intelligent, majestic animals.”
Here’s the photo of her covering Social Life Mag, and more are below and on People.
Christie Brinkley is always so over the top, which is probably why she loved this ridiculous photoshoot. She wrote a thank you on Instagram to the photographers “@devorah_rose and @gianandreadistefano for this beautifully imagined shoot!” How is there any imagination to that shoot? It’s just Christie posing in skimpy outfits and then airbrushed beyond recognition. In one photo she’s “naked” behind a palm leaf, you can see that on People. This probably isn’t far from how she thinks she looks, so she loves it. They could have at least included some of the puppies she mentioned.

What did they do to her face?
Photos credit: WENN and Social Life mag
Derp fest.
She looks like a cross between Loni Anderson and Pamela Anderson.
I was going with ‘Taylor Swift and Tamra (Real housewives of orange county) had a baby.
Oh gosh yes with Claudia Schiifer hair.
Tiffani Thiessen, too!
Cheryl Tiegs!!!!
Yes, Cheryl Tiegs.
Yes! Especially in the B&W one.
Heather Locklear on Dynasty.
Ha! I thought it was a young Bo Derek at first glance!!
Melanoma Trump and Ivana Trump
I am getting a ” Linda Evans/Dynasty 80’s” vibe from that magazine cover. I would never have guessed that was Christie Brinkley on the cover
Linda Evans, yes.
Why did Christie mess with her nose? There was never anything wrong with it!
I also see Bo Derek and, weirdly, in that beach shot with the dark dress, Cheryl Tiegs.
She’s clearly terrified of aging. Sad.
Funny you mentioned Bo Derek, I always thought she and Linda Evans had similar features. Plus they were both married to John Derek
I remember when I was young, my grammie used to say “I hate when old babes try to act young.” I didn’t get it then, but now I could draw Christie’s face on a poster and hold it up. Whisper words of wisdom! @RBC: First he was married to Ursula Andress, then left her for Linda, then left her for Bo, all three younger versions of their predecessors. Nice guy…..
RBC, if you check all of John Derek’s wives, beginning with Ursula Andres (sp?), they ALL look like younger and younger versions of the same woman! As each one aged, he traded her in for a younger version.
Oh right, everybody buys the creams, takes the vitamins and does the dieting and exercising to maintain their looks, but let someone actually sustain youthful beauty and energy into their 60s and of course– we despise her!
Christie Brinkley is what 63 looks like in 2017. IF you’re keeping up with the changing times and technologies, that is.
I thought it was Catherine Oxenberg, so much so that I was confused about what she would have done to warrant a post.
I also thought Linda Evans.
I wish she would take the extensions out of her hair.
Well I’m not going to say I care about the photos but I think it’s kind of endearing that they make her so happy. It’s totally random but good for her.
Totally agree. She looks quite happy and that is so endearing.
I agree–she’s harmless, good for her that she’s happy.
Yep, I think so too. Plus, she looks amazing!!!
I’ve met her. Was nice to everyone. Hope she is truly happy.
She’s gotta let go of……pantyhose. Makes her look like somebody’s grandma.
SHE IS SOMEONES GRANDMA!
but, damned if she don’t look good. must have demi’s surgeon on the batphone.
None of her kids have given birth yet, so no 🙂
ah. that’s why she hasn’t imploded yet. @chetta b.
LOL 😉
She’s made up of 50% humble brag, 30% real brag, and 20%filler.
LMAO! So true
The cover looks more like Kim Basinger than Christie Brinkley. Photoshop is amazing!
Still think her and Donnie Deutch (sp?) make a hot couple…but she’s probably not intellectually close to what he’d prefer in a mate.
God, this woman is so annoying.
I have people in the Hamptons who say it’s well known out there that she is DUMB.
Kinda sad she doesn’t have much going on as she ages besides her look. As I get older I’m starting to like having interests far beyond my face and clothes!
Lol! I loved her bubbliness until I heard an interview and thought – she’s kind of a ditz. Still enjoy her pleasantness tho.
Yeah, Christie’s dumb: ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK.
Oh look, an example of a narcissistic personality disorder at its finest! She’s insufferable.
?? She may be vain and afraid of aging, but narcissistic personality disorder is a very serious mental health condition that’s next to impossible to cure. Too many people use the term to describe someone who’s simply vain. Take it from a former mental health worker.
THANK YOU Chetta B.
@JANE- spot on!
That’s gunna be Heidi in a few years.
I actually thought it was Heidi Klum in the picture that she is kicking her leg up in. Crazy amount of photoshop
Ha. I love how her neck (first place to reveal a woman’s age) is “artfully” hidden in each photo. Even the white dress has a panel that surrounds her neck. I’d really love to see how she actually looks. It’s sad she feels the need to pretend she’s 35.
Yup, I went back and looked at the pics, and you’re right, no neck photos.
I can’t hate on her. She is old enough to be my mom and even un-photoshopped she looks way hotter than I have ever looked.
Her looks costs her hundreds of thousands of $$$$$ truckloads of procedures, personal trainers, chefs etc. Chaine, be proud of YOUR looks because i dare bet you didnt waste your entire life focussing on your looks like she has. Also, you didnt get divorced FOUR times and had three kids with three different men, right?
I can’t understand why a completely edited photo that does not at all depict the real thing would make this woman happy. Did she ever stop and ask herself why they wouldn’t use her real image? Heck, just get a caricature artist to draw the next cover.
What’s that they say about mutton dressed up as lamb?
I don’t know…on the one hand she looks great for an 83 year-old (and I wish I looked so good) but on the other, there’s something unsettling about the spread, like looking at a freak show.
Well yeah, considering she’s in her 60s I would hope she’d look good for 83.
You know, I have to give credit where credit is due. Her body is amazing. If I looked that good at her age I’d be in everyone’s faces too. I can’t hate on her for that.
She was a model after all and without excessive weight gain, her body structure remains fairly intact – and the legs are always the last to go. That said, all of her pix are hella photo shopped. Even working out every day for hours does not stop the skin’s aging process.
I’m sorry. this picture is so photo-shopped. Yes she is a pretty woman, however Christie has spent thousands on herself to look young. No matter how much work you get, you still can’t fight age.
Christie. Please. Stop. You look like a badly aging Heather Locklear and a dimmer Marla Maples had a rubber baby.
Also, I realize that Celebitchy may have cherry picked the quotes, but she sounds like the elevator doesn’t go to the top floor.
what on earth is with open mouth posing? i have never understood this. is it supposed to look sexy or carefree or…?????
i mean, i have bouts of being a mouth breather and get all self conscious, thinking i must look like fish on land, but to specifically choose it?
does anyone genuinely know what this (long term) trend of women posing open mouthed means? is it literally some unconscious desire to show your tonsils or what?
Christie was the “bright” side of misogyny. A woman is lauded for her youth and beauty and Christie became world famous for hers. The dark side is that a woman ages and loses the only qualities she was ever valued for. So of course she wants to hold on, and I certainly can’t blame her for that. Otherwise she’d be metaphorically tossed on the relic heap of aged-out beauties. Watch Fellini’s 8 1/2 and you’ll see a sickening and literal version of this. The sad thing is when a woman only values herself for her youth and beauty.
She looks & sounds as if she is annoying as
f–k.
She looks just like Linda Evans when she was on Dynasty to me!
Her face reminds me of young Ann-Margret in the black-and-white beach photo.
Say what you will. Ole Girl looks damn good for age.
Why is she always posing like crazy and always wearing skimpy outfits? Give me women like Helen Mirren and Michelle Pfeiffer any day over desperate Christie. Does Christie ever wonder why she cant keep a man? She comes across as vapid and uninteresting in her interviews, her looks are all sje ever talks about. Must bite her behind to see her ex Johnny Cougar is back in the arms of former ex Meg Ryan these days. Too funny!
