Christie Brinkley has changed her story several times about whether she’s had botox or work done. When you see her on video it’s clear that she’s pulled taut, I’ll say that, and that her cheeks are very puffy. I’ve done several stories on her varying explanations for what kind of treatments and skincare she gets and rather than recap all that I’ll point you there. Her story changes based on what she’s promoting. She looks great, she just looks worked on and she looks much different than even a decade ago. Anyway Christie mentioned wrinkles in this interview about aging like she totally welcomes them and is not trying to avoid them by any means necessary.
“I honestly have had years in my life where I’d be like, ‘Wait a minute, how old am I again?’” Brinkley exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly. “I just don’t think about it.”
Fortunately, her ageless face — which stems from good genes, clean living and Ultherapy treatments — doesn’t reveal the years of hard work and personal tribulations she had to endure over the years. Still, she remains humble about her appearance. [Ed note…]
“When I started doing the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue [in 1979], I was very concerned about trying to live up to the image they projected of this hot body in a bathing suit,” the National Lampoon’s Vacation actress explains. “I’m kind of in the same situation with aging. Aging is inevitable. If I’m lucky, I’m going to be running around as an older woman with my hard-earned wrinkles. It’s inevitable.”
I have no problem with women getting whatever they want done to look younger or to change the shape of their faces or bodies. Just don’t make a cottage industry out of looking younger and selling products for that and then act like it’s all minor procedures and you’re really into aging. She makes my job so easy though and I appreciate that. Like all I have to do is point out the things she says and throw up a photo.

LOL. “into aging.” Sure Jan.
She def has had work done, and one of the ways that I can always tell is that she looks much better sometimes than other times. Yes that’s a result of makeup etc, but I think it also depends on whether she has just had botox, needs more, etc.
I don’t blame her for having work done; just admit it – or at least, don’t actively lie about it.
That’s the thing. I mean – she doesn’t need to bring it up, even. Just say “You know, I feel like I just keep growing more and more comfortable with myself the older I get” or “I hope to live a long, active life – age is just a number”. She doesn’t need to go into the surgery/filler side of things at all.
I’ve noticed there’s been times where she’s certainly not looked this ‘youthful’ too – I actually hauled up a photo of her the other day because my husband was like “Christie Brinkley… she’s a blonde older lady?” because he couldn’t picture her. And her face definitely wasn’t as full. I mean – I also wouldn’t want to live a life that was so focused on looks – so I don’t really envy her, or begrudge her for getting some botox/fillers… but I just get so sick of celebrities dancing around the obvious answer to whether or not they’ve had work done.
Hard earned wrinkles indeed! They worked hard to get through all the fillers, botox, and facelifts! Well deserved, wrinkles! I applaud you!
Lol!
her body looks great. She has always been into fitness so that’s part of why she looks great, but , She is still beautiful but sorry Christie’s face is getting that overworked cat eye and plumped cheek filler look.
She is getting to the almost cross the line look on her face, she should stop right now w the face fillers.
I thought she was Brandi whats her name?
All those overworked or overfilled faces start to look so similar , they lose their individual beauty.
Um, her smile is no longer symmetrical.
I can’t believe that rich and famous people still deal with botched injections/surgery. You would think with their resources and connections that they’d have access to the BEST surgeon money can buy.
But here we are: the woman has a damn crooked mouth and it does NOT look good.
I think one thing with injections is that they look best on people when they don’t smile. Once you smile, your face shifts and a lot of the changes that looked good when you’re doing *serious face* suddenly look bizarre. I mean, that’s if you overdo it. I’m sure subtle injections are undetectable in either scenario.
But yeah, Christy annoys the hell out of me with her lies. Why lie? It’s so plainly obvious that she doesn’t embrace aging which is absolutely FINE. But there’s no need to lie about it. We’re not stupid FFS.
I noticed that right away too. I was wondering whether it was plastic surgery or if maybe she had a stroke.
It’s likely just caused by too much botox in a certain area and it’s causing the mouth to not be able to move properly. If that’s what it is, although it looks scary and abnormal it’s not a big deal. Botox is temporary and the effects wear off within a few months. I think she looks great but it seems she’s gone a little overboard with the cheek filler. I also think while a woman’s body is her own to do what she pleases with, and it’s nobody’s business, that it’s also immoral to lie about the work that you’ve had done. So many women hold themselves to this unrealistic standard and to witness a woman as beautiful as Christie omit the truth – that she’s had quite a bit of help to defy aging in the form of botox and fillers – sets the rest of us up to feel a little crappy about ourselves for aging. It’s dishonest. Just tell the truth! That’s what I’ll never understand. We can all see it for crying out loud.
If it’s the top one, I went back & looked and to me it looks like she was about to say something. Still joker-y tho.
Yes, that’s the first thing I noticed! Her smile was never like that.
Has she always had that Joker smile?
Nope. And that’s one of the dead giveaways that she’s definitely had work done.
I thought that was too cruel to say, but you’re right, and I’m afraid that’s ALL I can see when I see her now. She’s crossed the line into creepy.
She has always a bit of crook to her smile but its worse now. No amount of surgery fights nature 100%.
She looks creepy and sounds delusional.
She can’t deny it—she was a paid spokesperson for Xeomin, a preservative-free Botox. She was all over literature in my plastic surgeon’s office and promoted on their Instagram. Also, her filler is beyond obvious.
Yep, the clinic I work in uses Xeomin and her face is on all the posters
She’s 65. The only person I know who looked even close to this good at 65 was my mom, who’d had a full facelift at 63. So, yeah, not buying the no work, Christie.
I honestly think that a full face lift is probably the better way to go once you hit 60, or even earlier. After 60 injections start to look strange and create that cabbage patch kid look.
Yep…and now the surgery is a bit less intense than it was years ago. Little cuts and they then tuck it up.
absolutely! Full lift in 60s. Maybe address a waddle, and do some laser resurfacing and whatnot before that.
To me it doesn’t even look like good work. She’s gone into plastic territory. Whoever treats or treated her should have shown more restraint.
Agreed. When she first started tweaking it was a lot more subtle, she just looked “freshened up.” But now….if she doesn’t reign it in she’s going to wind up in catface territory. I get it, she’s a model, her looks are her bread & butter but I’ll never understand these naturally beautiful women doing this to themselves. They already have a leg up in the genetics department, I’m sure if they allowed it they would also age beautifully without all the fillers and surgery.
+1
+2….or +3?
“If I’m lucky, I’m going to be running around as an older woman with my hard-earned wrinkles. It’s inevitable.”
Clearly she’s talking about her clothes.
LOL! She just wants the attention. There’s a reason why she’s always in beach pix with her daughters. I doubt it’s only to promote her girls. She’s thirsty!
She won’t have wrinkles because she overfills her mid-face and botoxes TF out of her forehead. She’s actually disfigured by all that filler. Jesus.
I agree that she looks disfigured. She looks scary and I think she’s kinda pathetic, trying to keep up with the twentysomethings when she’s sixty f^&*ing five. She in no way, shape or form is aging gracefully. She’s terrified of it.
I can’t with this trick and her Madame looking cheeks.

Ha! I thought she meant her dog was named “Wrinkles”! I was like, “where’s that hard earned lil Wrinkles?”
Hehe..love the line! Nobody cares how much work she’s had done, but the hypocrisy of pretending those lovely natural smile lines that were clear in her late 80s pics have just been ironed out by good genes, oh please.
Have a seat, Christie!
Her whole face is filler to the point that she looks really swollen. She’s not fooling anyone but herself
Yes, those cheeks look painful, don’t they?
Oh dear, she got Botox around her mouth and/or jawline and it wasn’t done properly. I tried it and ended up crooked too, but at least my doctor promptly fixed it. Who did that number on her face and why hasn’t she gone back to get it corrected??
Oh, come on! We have eyes, we can see.
That’s what puzzles me. We can SEE her face. Why lie when the truth is injected all over her face for all to see.
I don’t think SHE can see her face,as in you see yourself every day and don’t notice the subtle changes that happen over time.I think she’s been at this for so long she does not realize that although she isn’t old and saggy or wrinkled she looks very full of fillers,and very frozen,and this is as aging as wrinkles,even for much younger people who do this.
She would have to allow herself to get a wrinkle and we know that’s not going to happen.
Judging from how your face looks, your age is the ONLY thing on your mind.
Stop this.
She’s the next Joker.
I grew up in the Christine Brinkley tsunami…
And when I saw that top picture…I didn’t even know who the HEYLL SHE WAS!!!!
Tragic…..
Contrast her looks with Rene Russo’s, who’s older. Plastic surgery often makes you look weird, not younger. Also, I don’t believe in making people dress a certain way for their age, but she is an awkward example of someone trying SO hard to dress young, not celebrating who she really is.
Agree, her body looks good, she shouldn’t wear a burka. But she looks so try-hard.
Some of these celebs really go over the top to get publicity don’t they?
Geez, CB is a multi-millionaire many times over, has been famous for decades, has grown children, done paid ads for decades, etc, etc.
Of course she has had work done…we can see that. And I agree with the above poster that with the level of $$, why the hell they end up with bad work is beyond me.
And yes, she is close to cat eye look in a few years.
She is in good health. Be glad for that and stop forever trekking your looks!
Also, I’m sick of these celeb kids being pushed as talented. Most certainly are not.
Other than being CB daughter, Sailor would not be getting attention for even leaving the house.
Go away.
Is it just me or can she not smile properly because her lips don’t meet properly from too many face-lifts? Wrinkles, lol? As if …
She…looks like Rachel Ray now? Anyone else see this?!
Yep, in that bottom pic she’s serving up some RR.
….”If I wasn’t so terrified of them,” said Brinkley
I was going to say her smile is reminiscent of Jack Nicholson as The Joker. Imagine how beautiful she’d be if she hadn’t tweaked. I don’t understand how this chicken cutlet cheeks and Joker smile are better.
Spending money on plastic surgery seems odd. If you have a ton of dough, how about live the sweet life and not stress vanity. It will probably keep you young by not giving a hoot what people think.
Wouldn’t it be an entertaining reality show if all the young nepotism “models” had to share a house together and being filmed in their daily lives as they compete against each other for fame? Sailor, Kaia Gerber, Kendall, Gigi, Lily Rose Depp etc. I would watch that lol… “The Real Housedaughters” Andy Cohen, make this happen!
I would love to watch them all duke it out-I look like MY mom,nooo I look like MY mom,no I have the most insta followers,😂
That would be must watch tv
If I had the $$ I’d be taking advantage of all the non-surgical options I could! Having said that … she doesn’t really look like herself right now. I’m being kind.
She’s been a guest judge on Project Runway All Stars this year and she’s just distracting. One time the camera panned to her while the models were walking and of course the music was thumping. Christie acted like she was doing a photo shoot with every beat of the music, turning her head, smiling, tossing her hair, throwing her head back. She was like a freaking trained monkey.
To have wrinkles you need to stop punishing yourself and everyone else for aging.
*SIGH* This is why women are so insecure about their looks. She can take her bullsh*t bragging about hard-earned wrinkles and stuff it. She’s a gazillionaire so she can shell out tens of thousands of dollars on obsessively staying young. However, IMHO, she looks like a sex-shop blow-up doll that’s been ridden hard and put away wet. She’s plastic and botox from the knees up and looks it.
She does not look good at all.
Hard-earned wrinkles that she actively tries to conceal or outright remove?
Look, it’s her body and she can do what she wants with it, but don’t preach about aging naturally when you’re doing anything but.
It’ll take longer for those fillers to be reabsorbed than she has left on this earth. Her coffin will eventually have a skeleton, some dust, and five pounds of random silicone and mesh scattered around.
The non-matching sized eyes seems to be rampant in a Hollywood these days…not sure if it’s poor Botox or facelift (or both).
She was so gorgeous back in the day. Must be hard to see that go. But now she just looks tight and uncomfortable. Like Kim K’s body/boobs. Everything looks like it wouldn’t be nice to touch.
The hands don’t lie.
She’s had work done. Check out this pic:

She looks like she went to the surgeon and asked for the “Madonna Special”. It’s the exact same overfilled look.
She looks like she had a stroke.
Her hair is so obviously mostly fake too. No judgment here, I use toppers myself. You would think she’d get beautiful human hair instead of plasticy looking clip ons/falls though! She was so, so beautiful. It’s sad to me when women can’t age gracefully. I’m all for a little work, but she looks like Barbie gone wrong now.
Oh, gimme a break already. The woman was one of the highest paid models on the planet. She knows EXACTLY how old she is.
With her bone structure she could have aged pretty gracefully, but those fillers did her no favors.
I think she looks very beautiful. However, I don’t like how she pretends that she’s aging well on her own when it is due to constant cosmetic procedures. Without these procedures, she would look like any other 65 year old. If you go to Pinterest and enter her name, you will see her after menopause/before cosmetic intervention photos, and she looks like any other woman her age. Diana Ross was looking her age for a long time and suddenly a couple of years ago she looks 20 years younger. Diana looks very beautiful again. These people all have a lot of vitality and energy so I think they may be getting Human Growth Hormone (HGH) or other youth/hormone cocktails pumped into them.
