Christie Brinkley, 72, shocks fans as she debuts ‘new face’

Christie Brinkley looked very youthful as she was wrinkle free in New York City on Tuesday evening.

The 72-year-old model was posing on the red carpet for the 2026 City Harvest Gala: Shaken, Not Stirred at Cipriani on 42nd Street.

A fan wrote on X, ‘She must have a good plastic surgeon because this is so unreal, hello!? It’s like she has a new face.’ 

‘How on earth can Christie still look like she is in her 50s when she is in her 70s?’ asked another fan on Reddit.

‘Goddess of beauty, she looks like a million bucks as usual, her face is stunning,’ added an admirer.

The National Lampoon actress had her makeup carefully done to contour her face and highlight her cheekbones as she added plum lipstick. 

Her long blonde hair was worn down in soft waves as she modeled an impressive diamond necklace that could not be missed.

The star pulled back a long black leather trench coat to show off her slender figure as she wore a form-fitting black gown.  Brinkley also held onto a beaded black clutch purse. 

In 2024 the actress talked about how she has been able to maintain her youthful appearance all these decades after fame hit in the 1970s.

The beauty chatted with People, saying she is fine with having a few lines here and there, and also admitting she has tried Botox in the past but is not fond of doing too much to her visage.

In the magazine the focus is also on looking fabulous while letting herself age naturally.

‘I want to accept certain wrinkles. That’s the way I’m approaching aging,’ said the former Vogue cover girl.

‘Sometimes when people get older, and they overdo it, they can look waxy and — I don’t know what the word is — preserved or something. I want a little life to show on my face, you know?’

Twice a year she does resurfacing Fraxel treatments to help with sun damage, she shared.

To promote the interview she took to Instagram with a funny post. ‘I still have a few days left of my Sexy Sixties before I dance into my Sensational Seventies on February 2nd,’ began the ex of crooner Billy Joel.

‘I already know it’s going to be a spectacular year!’

The mother of three then added: ‘I know because that’s my plan and I’m old enough to know that it’s up to me to make sure of it!

‘I always used to say to my kids go out and make it a great day and now I’m saying to myself that I’m gonna make it a great year.’

She then said she has had ‘a lot of close calls’ and she feels ‘lucky and grateful to be here’ – she is likely referring to her ski accident.

She added, ‘I just can’t believe that I got here so FAST! It’s speeds by so my advice to all you young-ins out there …Love, laugh, and LIVE IT UP! ❤️.’

The Vogue model told People, 'I feel strong'
Seen in 1983: 'I pretty much feel, as I'm approaching 70, the same way that I felt when I was approaching 30. I feel good'

‘I feel strong,’ the actress told People. ‘I pretty much feel, as I’m approaching 70, the same way that I felt when I was approaching 30. I feel good’

In 2023 the Vogue model said she feels as good as she did 40 years ago.

‘I feel strong,’ the actress told People. ‘I pretty much feel, as I’m approaching 70, the same way that I felt when I was approaching 30. I feel good.’

She talked to the publication while hosting Pet Life Unlimited’s Furever Young senior dog adoption event at the Animal Haven shelter in New York City.

‘I feel like the number doesn’t match my spirit, so I may as well just keep spiriting on,’ she added. ‘I think they all signal to us certain things,’ she explained.

But she feels fabulous. ‘I’ve been shocked by not feeling the way I thought I was supposed to be feeling at that age,’ she explained.

‘I don’t believe that focusing on age is going to make you feel any better about it.’ And she shared her tip for looking young: ‘I think curiosity in the world around you and just wanting to do something with each day, that is what keeps you young and going,’ she noted.

Family keeps her grounded, she also shared: she has daughters Alexa Ray and Sailor, as well as son Jack.

‘I just love any time I have any family and friends around, just being able to sit and laugh — I think laughter heals everything,’ she continued.

In 2022 the star talked about her figure. The actress was seen in a crop top and shorts while stretching on the beach as she gave some sound advice.

‘When you eat too much, it’s not as easy to lose the weight, so here’s a tip that’s tried and true, that will make you feel like your best you,’ said the model.

She said to ‘avoid the sugar and do exercise, it’s not about the size of your thighs.’

The blonde also said, ‘Vibrant good health will be your prize! Reminder this month when you buy a bottle, you’ll put planting trees into full throttle!
