Christie Brinkley’s Daughter Is All Grown Up And Working As A Professional Model

It’s not too often you hear about the children of our favorite public figures and what they’re up to. Many of them choose to stay out of the spotlight, while others excel in the same line of work that their parents did. That is certainly the case for Ms. Sailor Brinkley-Cook.

She’s officially all grown up and working as a professional model. We bet mom couldn’t be happier!

Sailor was born to Christie Brinkley and her then-husband Peter Cook in 1998. It wasn’t long before the mini-me of Christie Brinkley began modeling. She followed exactly in her moms’ footsteps! She soon began shooting with big companies like Sports Illustrated Swimsuit in 2017 and 2018.

In addition to the professional photo shoots, she always makes sure to update her Instagram accordingly!

Sailor recently received some backlash regarding one of the photoshoots she did with Sports Illustrated. SI launched a new project within their company called In Her Own Words. The model posed nude for this project.

According to AOL, the In Her Own Words project is, “committed to empowering women through self-expression, voice, and identity.” While the project was intentionally an empowering outlet for women, Fox News reported that the public claims Sailor was objectifying herself with the nude spread.

In response to this, Sailor said, “This project, for me and for the other girls who CHOSE to participate, was about TAKING OUR POWER BACK. In an industry where it is rare for models to have a say in the content they are being used to create, having total self-control and creative control during the IHOW shoot was true and unbridled self-empowerment.”

Despite the backlash she received for that photoshoot, Sailor is living her best life and is definitely making her mother proud. At only 19 years old, she is thriving!

Way to go, Sailor!
