Life Lessons from a Supermodel Mom
Let’s talk about Christie Brinkley, the iconic supermodel who’s been dazzling us for decades. She’s not just a stunning face; she’s also an incredible mom. Her youngest daughter, Sailor Brinkley Cook, has learned some pretty valuable life lessons from her. One of the most impactful things Christie has taught Sailor? Always keep smiling, even when you’re feeling down. “She always said to just keep smiling, even if you’re feeling bad, and you’ll start feeling good,” Sailor, now 20, revealed. And guess what? This advice works! Who wouldn’t want to hear that from one of the most radiant women in the world? Plus, Sailor, who's a brand ambassador for the Who’s That Girl makeup line, is carrying on her mom’s legacy with grace and style.
A Closet Full of History
Now, let’s dive into something fun—Christie’s closet. If you’re imagining a treasure trove of fashion history, you’re absolutely right. Sailor has full access to her mom’s enviable wardrobe, and trust me, it’s like stepping into a time capsule of style. “I just love being in her closet because it’s massive and genuinely historic,” Sailor shared. “She has clothes from the '60s, '70s, and '80s—the most beautiful collection of clothes—and it’s so fun to go in there.” Can you picture it? It’s like walking into a museum of fashion icons, where every piece tells a story. No wonder Sailor loves it so much!

Following in High-Heeled Footsteps
Sailor is walking the runway and carving out her own path in the modeling world, just like her legendary mom. “I was looking at photos of my mom when she was around my age, and I was tripping out. We look so alike!” she said. But let’s be real, stepping into the spotlight when your mom is a global icon comes with its own set of challenges. Sailor admitted to People that being constantly compared to Christie wasn’t always easy. “I grew up looking at these photos of my mom, never thinking that I would ever be able to do that,” she explained. “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,” she added. That’s the spirit, Sailor! You’re carving your own path, and that’s what truly matters.
Christie's Support System
As a mom, Christie has always been there for her kids, including Alexa Ray Joel, 32, and son Jack Paris Brinkley Cook, 23. While Sailor and Alexa Ray have faced their fair share of online criticism, Christie has taught them how to handle it with grace. “It bothers me just on a general level that somehow people feel empowered to say things that are hurtful,” Christie revealed in a past interview. “This was unthinkable back in the day. There’s this general sense now that it’s okay to do this.” But with Christie by her side, Sailor knows she can achieve anything. That’s the kind of support every child needs, and Christie’s got it in spades!
