CHRISTIE Brinkley’s daughter, Sailor, has recreated her mother’s iconic photoshoot from over four decades ago in sexy new pics.
The 26-year-old couldn’t resist posing in shots reminiscent of her mom’s famous Sports Illustrated cover while vacationing in the Caribbean over the weekend.
Sailor posted numerous photos on Instagram of her donning a skimpy blue string bikini and her blonde locks flowing straight down during the tropical getaway.
One captured the fashion model holding her hair up, one leg lifted, with a breathtaking view of tall greenery and the ocean in the background.
Another pic showed her leaning her back against a tree, her tiny frame on display as she gazed into the camera.
Other photos further showed Sailor’s confidence in front of the camera as she cheekily looked over her shoulder while riding a bicycle on the sand in another sultry swimsuit, took selfies while admiring the sunset, and checked out her tan lines in the mirror after a day in the sun.
Fans were immediately reminded of Christie‘s memorable SI photoshoot in February 1981, when she posed similarly in a Florida setting.
The mother-daughter pair looked nearly identical in their separate beach pics.
Sailor is the youngest of Christie’s three children and the only one she shares with her ex-husband, Peter Cook, whom she married from 1996 until 2008.
Christie is also a mother to Alexa Ray Joel, whom she shares with her first ex-husband, Billy Joel, and Jack Paris Cook, 30, with her ex-husband, Richard Taubman.
While Sailor appeared comfortable in her skin in her social media pics, she’s admitted that she’s struggled with body dysmorphia since a young age.
“I just have this awful feeling that if I’m not skinny, I’m not worth being celebrated and I’m not worth being praised,” Sailor confessed during a 2020 appearance on Good Morning America.
“I’ve been just been having these moments where I look in the mirror, and I’m just disgusted with myself,” she continued, explaining that the thoughts come on even after witnessing “the tiniest little things like a roll on my stomach, a little pooch on the bottom of my stomach.”
Sailor also said that her mother wasn’t aware of the gravity of her struggles, noting that she first developed an eating disorder at 15 years old.
“My mom didn’t fully know the pain that I was going through when I was at my worst,” she shared.
“I was looking up at all these major figures in modeling that are size double zero, and they’ve got these thin legs and these tiny waists.
“I was seeing them being so celebrated by everyone everywhere and being wanted by all the boys and all that greatness that comes around being this tiny supermodel. And I wanted that,” Sailor revealed.
Christie’s modeling career began in the late 1970s before reaching global fame.
The Uptown Girl author is still wowing fans with her ageless beauty, as she shared photos last week from her island vacation.
Just a few weeks earlier, Christie stunned again in a skintight dress while celebrating her daughter Alexa’s 40th birthday.
