Christie Brinkley definitely knows how to turn heads. Case in point: A throwback photo of the model riding a horse bareback on the beach in a cool pink swimsuit.
Christie, 69, treated her followers to this epic throwback photo of herself looking like quite the equestrian queen. The supermodel is toned all over in the snap, from her muscled legs to her strong arms.
“Barefoot and bareback on the beach. A few of my favorite things! Happy memories from @careyes_official photo by the late great magnifique @patrickdemarchelier 🇲🇽,” Christie captioned the photo. Please add this to my Pinterest board for summer photos to recreate.
People, obviously, loved this look from Christie, even all these years later. She is truly an ageless beauty, and all her friends and fans made sure to let her know in the comments section. “Everything I love is in this pic….You, horses, the beach & sunshine….💞💞💞💞,” one person wrote. Another added, “So iconic, beauty, freedom, horses, beach! ❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
While this may be an old photo, Christie looks stunning nowadays as well, and truly glows from on the red carpet and in magazines, to just on her Instagram.
When she’s not riding horses, Christie has quite a few fitness tips of her sleeves. For one, she was big into the Total Gym machine, which “relies on strategic movements anchored by weights,” she told The Cut in 2016. She’s even a spokeswoman for the line of fitness equipment. Oh, and Christie is also really into spin classes, she previously told Women’s Health. “I love spin instructors,” she said. “Yeah, sometimes you need a little drill sergeant to inspire you and keep you going.”
When she’s not using the Total Gym or logging miles on a spin bike, Christie likes to get moving outside, which can be so beneficial for the mind and body. She’s always gardening and sharing her tips with her fans. It’s truly adorable.
And, she likes to ride her bike around—it’s not always just about the horses.
When it comes to staying fueled, Christie follows a plant-based diet and she calls herself a “lacto-ovo” when it comes to eating, per The Cut. This type of diet emphasizes grains, fruits and veggies, legumes, seeds, nuts, dairy and eggs, but excludes meat, fish, or products containing any of these foods. “The one constant…was that I haven’t eaten any red meat or fowl,” Christie shared with the mag.

She also is a big fan of loading up her plate with rainbow colors, and isn’t into strict dieting. “I have always encouraged my readers, friends and family to think of food as fuel and I promoted eating a colorful organic vegetarian or vegan rainbow diet for maximum nutrition,” Christie shared an Instagram post in November 2022. “And I discouraged dieting or as I call it ‘deny-eating’ and urged you instead to gift your body with healthy choices that will heal and benefit you.”
Preach it, Christie!
