Christie Brinkley simply refuses to grow old despite the fact that she’ll celebrate her milestone 60th birthday on Sunday, February 2.

She wore a black mini dress earlier this month at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue launch and was stunning from head to toe.

The mother of three maintains a healthy vegetarian diet, is devoted to yoga and exercises regularly. She visits her dermatologist every month for “special facials.” Brinkley has thus far shunned plastic surgery, opting instead for non-invasive choices to address sagging, wrinkling and discoloration. Christie mused, “I like modern-technology stuff.”

She rocks the cover of this week’s PEOPLE magazine in a spread titled Christie At 60! Suffice it to say, she is not dreading the BIG 60.

She chose a one-piece swimsuit for the photo shoot — and for good reason. Brinkley acknowledged, “My kids would be so embarrassed! In private I may still wear a bikini, but at the public beach with my kids I would change bathing suits because they do not want to be hanging out with some old broad in a bikini.”

Her children are singer Alexa Ray Joel, 28, college freshman Jack Brinkley-Cook, 18, and teen model Sailor Brinkley-Cook, 15. See recent mother-daughter lookalike pics here.
