Christie Brinkley and daughter Sailor twin hard in sexy workout gear
Famous daughters of famous supermodels have a knack for following in the footsteps of their supermoms, and by the looks of it, Christie Brinkley and her daughter, Sailor Brinkley Cook are no different.
Showing off their fit physiques, the 64-year-old Christie and her 20-year-old daughter, Sailor, pretty much twinned, flaunting their enviable figures in workout gear at the Southampton Sweat event that took place over the weekend.
Christie went for a signature head-to-toe white for the Hamptons event, stunning everybody present there with her mesh Alo top, cropped leggings teamed with a sports bra and athletic sneakers, while her daughter decided to flaunt her abs in an olive Adidas sports bra and leggings.
This surely brings back memories from two years ago when Christie and Sailor - the quite identical mother-daughter duo - along with Alexa Ray Joel, posed for a sizzling bikini photoshoot together, for Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue. Sailor also described the experience as a “very empowering and liberating” one.
Christie said, “I kept saying, ‘If you’re ever going to get your picture taken in a bathing suit, doing it with Sports Illustrated is the way to go.’ It may look like you’re all alone on this beautiful deserted beach but there are two guys standing there with reflectors, putting the light on you.”
Just a year later, Christie also happened to break the very exciting news of Sailor joining the SI Swimsuit 2018 rookie class. “You’re on your own now,” Christie told Sailor after she gave her the good news. “You’re out of my sandy footprints, and you are on your own!”
Sailor hasn't shied from talking about the pressure she feels about being in the same profession and following in the footsteps of someone as iconic in the modelling industry as her mother. “I grew up looking at these photos of my mom, never thinking that I would ever be able to do that,” she told People magazine.
“To be compared to my mother who has this extremely successful career under her belt when I’m just getting started? And to have people say I’m never going to have what she has or be what she is. I’m not trying to be her. But I’m fine. I don’t get hurt by this stuff,” Sailor added.
“It was just such a surreal moment for me because I’ve looked up to all the SI models and my mom — they’ve always been my inspirations.”
