Christie Brinkley has been enjoying a laid back weekend with her daughter Alexa Ray Joel, and the gorgeous former Sports Illustrated model has the pics to prove it. Taking to Instagram on Sunday evening, the 69-year-old posted some pictures of her eldest daughter alongside the caption “I am surrounded by beauty!”
In the photos, Alexa Ray Joel, 37, could be seen reclining and soaking up the sun in a floral one-piece swimsuit and sunglasses. The singer and songwriter, who is the daughter of Christie and her ex-husband Billy Joel, looked fantastic in the summery images in her bright red lipstick and large hoop earrings.

The Cover Girl icon also celebrated her “organic garden” with a series of snaps of multi-colored flowers blooming both in nature, and within her house in a pretty blue vase.

The former model’s first marriage to Jean-Francois Allaux ended with no children.
In early July 2023, Christie’s whole extended family got together to celebrate Sailor’s 25th birthday party at the beach.
The National Lampoon’s Vacation star’s youngest daughter followed in her mom’s professional footsteps as a model, and has recently wowed fans with several bikini photo shoots. While on vacation in France in mid-July, the 25-year-old captioned a photo of her sunbathing topless in nothing but a pair of red and white string bikini bottoms: “When in France, do as the French do.”
Christie quickly took to the comments section of her daughter’s post to praise Sailor’s bold and gorgeous look. “Smart, compassionate and drop dead gorgeous! Yes sir that’s my baby,” she said.

The Wrinkle Brigade is out in full force in the comment thread!” she said, adding: “They are the people that scan celebrities’ pages, hoping to find some cellulite, wrinkles, or anything that they can point to to critique.
“It must be some form of compensation for some thing they are lacking,” she concluded, before thanking the fans who fight back with positivity in the comments section.
