Christie Brinkley Dazzles on ‘The View’ While Promoting Her Memoir

In a striking appearance on The View, Christie Brinkley showcased an eye-catching pink ensemble, reflective of her vibrant personality and style. The retired supermodel, now 71, wore a chic baby pink shorts suit paired with a matching blazer and an unbuttoned pink shirt that revealed her black lace bra. This distinctive look marks a bold statement in her ongoing promotional tour for her memoir, Uptown Girl, which launched to the public today.

Completing her outfit with sleek black stilettos and a sophisticated black handbag, Brinkley’s signature blonde curls flowed elegantly, setting a new standard for modern power dressing.

Brinkley’s fashion choices aside, the recent buzz surrounding her memoir has captivated audiences. In a recently shared excerpt with People, she addressed her divorce from musician Billy Joel, revealing that alcohol was a significant factor. “To be clear,” Brinkley stated, “I never wanted to end things with Billy. But his drinking was bigger than the both of us.” The couple was married from 1985 until 1994.

Her memoir also delves into her tumultuous fourth marriage to architect Peter Cook, whom she describes as having brought her chaos. The marriage ended following revelations of Cook’s affair with a younger woman, which was notably unveiled to Brinkley during a high school graduation ceremony in the Hamptons. “When your whole world falls apart and you realize in a heartbeat you’ve suddenly become the cliché middle-aged woman whose husband is having an affair with a much (much) younger woman, what do you do?” she reflects, as shared via People.

Brinkley’s entry into the world of memoirs comes at a time when several other celebrities, such as Brooke Shields and Cher, are sharing their personal narratives. Shields’ memoir, Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old, has been particularly influential, allowing her to reclaim her story amid challenges.

Brinkley acknowledges the vulnerability involved in revealing personal struggles, stating, “I’d be lying if I said I’m not embarrassed to share this very intimate information. But, if we are to change the way we approach and talk about women’s health, we need to bring up the uncomfortable but very real issues. Shame is no longer an option.”
