Supermodel Christie Brinkley stepped out in high spirits for a screening of her new film, American Summer, in the Hamptons alongside her two oldest children, Alexa Ray Joel and Jack Brinkley-Cook. The 72-year-old star attended the event at The Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett, New York, appearing more like a sibling than a mother to her adult children.
Brinkley looked summer chic in a classic Breton top and navy pants, leaving her famous blonde tresses loose and flowing. Her daughter Alexa Ray Joel, 40, rocked a leather jacket over a strapless white top that emphasized her bust, while her 31-year-old son Jack Brinkley-Cook cut a relaxed figure in a blue linen button-down shirt, carpenter pants, and Birkenstock mules.
The eldest child, Alexa, is the daughter of legendary singer-songwriter Billy Joel, while Jack's father is real estate developer Peter Taubman. Brinkley is also mother to a younger daughter, 28-year-old Sailor Brinkley-Cook, who was not in attendance at the screening. The Hamptons, a group of seaside towns on the eastern end of Long Island, serves as a popular summer enclave for celebrities and media figures.
Matching Denim Outfits and Social Media Reactions
The outing comes shortly after Brinkley left fans stunned during an appearance last week in the Hamptons, where she posed alongside her youngest daughter, Sailor. The pair donned matching blue denim outfits accessorized with belts and boots, with several onlookers and social media followers mistaking the mother and daughter for twins.
Brinkley generated a similar reaction online following a recent Instagram carousel. Fans mistook the supermodel for her daughter as she struck a pose in front of a retro red Ford F-100 pickup truck.
Addressing her youthful look, Brinkley recently opened up about aging in a cover story interview for Social Life Magazine in June. "I think that with age you get... freer," Brinkley told the publication during her interview.
"You do what you wanna do when you wanna do it," Brinkley said. "I think that there's a freedom that comes with age that's quite wonderful. You don't really care what anybody thinks about your outfit anymore. You know what you like. You know what you don't like. And you don't feel like you have to put up with the stuff that you don't like anymore."
Cosmetic Routines and Relationship History
A lifelong vegetarian, Brinkley has also been open about the cosmetic procedures she utilizes to maintain her appearance. She admitted to using Botox on her forehead twice alongside laser treatments, and she reportedly receives injectable filler once a year on her marionette lines, the facial creases that run from the corners of the mouth down to the chin.
The Michigan-born, Malibu-raised beauty is currently single following four previous marriages. Her first marriage to French artist François Allaux ended in split in 1981. She later welcomed her eldest child, Alexa, during her nine-year marriage to five-time Grammy winner Billy Joel, which concluded in 1994.
In 1994, Brinkley married real estate developer Peter Taubman, and the couple welcomed their son Jack in 1995 before separating shortly after. She then tied the knot with architect Peter Cook in 1996, who helped raise Jack. Brinkley and Cook welcomed their daughter Sailor in 1998 before splitting a decade later.
Release Details for American Summer
Brinkley stars in the upcoming feature American Summer, a family comedy scheduled to premiere this coming Thursday. The film also stars actor Steve Gutenberg, who was also in attendance at the Hamptons screening.
