Christy Brinkley Looks Amazing In A Bikini At 63 Years Old

Many would have a hard time believing that Christy Brinkley is 63 when they see her spread in the latest issue of Sports Illustrated.

The swimsuit model, who first graced the cover of SI back in 1979, put her bikini back on for the newest edition of the magazine along with her two daughters.

Daughters Alexa Ray Joel, 31, and Sailor Brinkley Cook, 18, stand with her in their swimsuits in the newest edition that will hit stands on February 15th.

Brinkley told PEOPLE exclusively about the issue, “My first thought was, ‘At my age? No way!’”

“When I turned 30, I was like, ‘This is the last time I’m posing in a bathing suit!’ When this issue comes out, I’ll be 63. I thought, ‘Those days are over.’ But to get to do it with my girls, I thought, ‘One last go!’”

She also said, ‘Women feel very limited by their numbers. On a personal level, I thought, if I can pull this off, I think it will help redefine those numbers and remove some of the fear of aging.”

Yes, she’s right. If she can look that good in a swimsuit at 63, it is very encouraging for the rest of us ladies.
