Christie Brinkley's daughter, Sailor Brinkley-Cook, has once again captivated her social media followers with a series of stunning swimsuit photos that bear an uncanny resemblance to her iconic supermodel mother. The 27-year-old blonde model, based in New York, posted the images to her Instagram account, where she boasts over 200,000 followers, showcasing her toned physique during a recent tropical getaway.
A Striking Resemblance in Tropical Paradise
In the latest upload, Sailor looked sensational posing in a tiny blue bikini on the edge of a pool, with a vibrant bush of pink flowers serving as her picturesque backdrop. The model stretched out by the water, confidently flashing her toned tummy and legs, while appearing makeup-free with her long blonde hair worn down and damp. Reminiscing about her vacation in the caption, Sailor admitted she was 'mentally still here', accompanied by emojis of a pink hibiscus flower and a thought bubble cloud.
Family Background and Connections
Sailor is the youngest of three children born to Christie Brinkley, the 71-year-old supermodel renowned for her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue covers and acting career. Brinkley shares Sailor and another child with her fourth husband, Peter Cook, whom she was married to from 1996 to 2008. Their marriage ended due to his infidelity, years before Cook went on to marry college graduate Alba Jancou in 2023, who is roughly 39 years his junior and around the same age as Sailor.
Brinkley's eldest child is Alexa Ray Joel, 40, from her second marriage to singer Billy Joel, lasting from 1985 to 1994. The supermodel's first marriage was to Francois Allaux from 1973 to 1981, and her third was to Richard Taubman from 1994 to 1995. Notably, Brinkley and Cook are also parents to Jack Paris Brinkley-Cook, whom Brinkley had with Taubman but was later adopted by Cook.
Dating App Revelations and Fan Reactions
Sailor's recent bikini snapshots have sparked comparisons to her mother and had fans doing a double take. This comes shortly after the mother-daughter duo revealed they had previously matched with the same men on a dating app. In August 2025, Brinkley opened up on the Are You a Charlotte? podcast with actress Kristin Davis, explaining that she and her youngest daughter share more than just genetics.
The so-called nepo baby, who not only has the supermodel as her mother but also Billy Joel as her godfather, had signed up her mother on an unnamed dating app for a 'mischievous' experiment. Brinkley recalled that Sailor 'wanted to see what kind of guys [would match] … and she put me up there … and she said, "Mom, you're right not to go on it, because the same guys that said yes to me, are saying yes to you."'
Continuing the Legacy
As Sailor continues to build her own modeling career, her latest social media posts highlight not only her physical resemblance to Christie Brinkley but also the close bond they share. With over two decades separating them in age, the mother-daughter pair's shared experiences, from tropical vacations to dating app adventures, underscore a unique connection that transcends mere family ties.
