Legendary supermodel Christie Brinkley has once again captured the internet's attention, sharing a radiant video from a sun-drenched beach in Turks and Caicos. The 71-year-old icon looked effortlessly stunning in a vibrant red bikini top, proving her timeless appeal is stronger than ever.
A Timeless Beach Moment
In the clip posted to Instagram on Saturday, Brinkley smiled warmly for the camera while wearing a floppy sun hat. Her long, windswept blonde hair flowed from underneath the accessory as she enjoyed the tropical setting. The model used a string of emojis to caption the post with the simple, positive message: 'peace + love only!!'
She made sure to credit Melissa Odabash MBE Swimwear as the designer of her stylish red bikini. The post quickly garnered admiration from her nearly one million followers, with many flooding the comments section with fire emoji reactions.
Commitment to Health and Natural Ageing
This tropical display comes just days after the star showed off her incredible figure in a black triangle top and high-waisted briefs. For that post, she posed in front of a mirror adorned with a personal collection of seashells gathered over two decades of visits to Turks and Caicos.
Brinkley has been refreshingly open about her approach to maintaining her youthful looks. While she admits to having 'dabbled with fillers', she primarily relies on laser treatments and is cautious of overdoing procedures. 'I don’t want to look "done" or anything,' she told People last year, emphasising that she doesn't try to 'get rid of every wrinkle.'
She has also been vocal about her single, negative experience with Botox, which has led her to avoid it ever since. 'I like the movement. I like to be able to have expression and move my face,' she explained on the Tamron Hall Show.
The Wellness Regimen Behind the Glow
The model's radiant health is underpinned by a disciplined lifestyle she has maintained for decades. A committed vegetarian since age 13, Brinkley transitioned to a fully vegan diet in recent years. Her typical day of eating is both simple and nutritious.
As she revealed to The Cut in 2018, her routine often includes:
- Breakfast: Raw oats with nuts and berries.
- Lunch: A large salad with greens, adding a protein like beans or nuts.
- Dinner: Similar to lunch, but sometimes with vegetables served on bean pasta, rice, or quinoa.
Her fitness regime is equally consistent and adaptable. 'When I'm in a place where I can get on a bicycle and just go for a long ride, I love doing that,' she shared with People in 2024. At home, she frequently uses her Peloton for spin classes and relies on her Total Gym for strength training.
'I do a 20 or a 30-minute class several days a week, and then I'll do some of the floor exercises and arm and core [the other days],' Brinkley explained. She credits having equipment at home as the key to her consistency, stating, 'for me, I find that if it's in my home, I'm going to do it.'
Through her social media shares and candid interviews, Christie Brinkley continues to inspire not just with her enduring beauty, but with her message of health, balance, and embracing life with joy at every age.
