It has been the summer of mother-daughter solidarity for models Christie Brinkley and 15-year-old Sailor Brinkley Cook.
They hit the red carpet together last night at the 2013 Style Awards in Manhattan, honoring Model of the Year Kate Upton, of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit fame.
Christie and Sailor have been hanging out all summer long, hitting one exclusive charity event after another. We’re guessing that the teenager has been counseled that those social connections will be very good for her career.
Brinkley’s blonde daughter is under contract with IMG Models and is quickly following in her famous mother’s footsteps. The pair appeared on the July-August 2013 cover of Bella NYC, their first photo shoot collaboration.
While you would never know it, Christie will turn 60 in February 2014. Besides Sailor, the four-times married and divorced celeb is also mother to Alexa Ray Joel and Jack Taubman.
Christie’s net worth is $80 million, in large part due to wise real estate investments over the years in the New York beach town of The Hamptons. She also maintains a steady career of infomercials and other lucrative endorsements.
