Christie Brinkley Wows Internet With Sports Illustrated Cover Pose at Age 63: ‘Is She Jesus?’
The Wrap ^ | February 7, 2017 @ 8:12 AM | Jeremy Fuster

42 years after she first appeared in Sports Illustrated’s famous swimsuit edition, model Christie Brinkley is back gracing the cover for the ninth time at the age of 63. In a first for SI, she’s featured in the issue alongside her two daughters, Sailor and Alexa. The photo that has left her fans wondering how exactly she can walk on water.

Brinkley first appeared in SI back in 1975 and was chosen as the cover model for three consecutive years from 1979-81. Her last appearance in the issue was in 2004. With this shot, Brinkley is now the oldest woman ever to appear in the swimsuit issue, breaking the record set last year by 56-year-old Nicola Griffin.

“This is a real full circle moment for me,” Brinkley told SI. “I can get very emotional about this. How many years ago, I was that insecure girl hoping that I would be good enough for the magazine. So to see my daughters now having the same thoughts I had, and to be able to see them actually be there on the job, was definitely a big moment.”

Photos of Brinkley’s shoot have made the rounds on Twitter this morning. A few eagle-eyed fans pointed out that she’s not exactly standing on her daughters’ legs when she’s posing with them.

More brainless Hollywood-type celebrity kids. Too bad. The Trumps did so well in raising their kids.

I’d take a shot at the cheating babysitter, Diana Bianchi, long before watching Christy scrape all that plastic off.

I met Heather Locklear a couple of times when she was still married to Tommy Lee and she was just as beautiful in person and in the photos and on TV. A real sweetheart, too.

As for those celebs that are “not that hot in person” I’ve heard that Cameron Diaz falls in that camp, though I’ve never met her.

Every 63 year old should look like that!

Agreed! That way I wouldn't have to date 35 year olds with baggage......

Pretty good for post menopause. She actually never did all that much for me compared to Paulina Poroskova and her era.

The Joel daughter is way hotter than the other one.

She looks exotic. The other one is just another blond.

You do not have to look like a sea hag because you get older.

I use 4 different topical serums, supplements, I exercise and eat right.

I look pretty good for almost 58.
