Ex-supermodel Christie Brinkley has shocked fans with her latest instagram selfie as fans 'can't believe' her age.
Renowned as one of the most beautiful women roaming the planet, it's not surprising that she still looks amazing, however fans have been left even more in awe after the Sports Illustrated model uploaded a selfie in celebration of her birthday.
The bombshell has graced the cover of magazines over 500 times, and has been the covergirl for Sports illustrated three times during her 25 year career as one of the world's highest paid models.

She is now embracing self-love, recently sharing that she's on a journey of 'self-love' and 'has found her happy.'
The seemingly ageless star shared the snap to her Instagram which also revealed her age.
The caption read: "Looking in the mirror on my 70th birthday and what do I see, I’m finally happy with the person looking back at me."
she wrote. “I’m no longer critical and demanding, now I’m grateful and understanding.”
she continued: “I’ve put this body through it. I’ve broken every bone, in tiny miracles I’m all healed, in my heart and soul I’m home,” Brinkley continued. “It’s taken 70 years to get here, in tears and joy I’ve found my happy, so now I’m going to end this poem, before I get too sappy!”
“Happy birthday indeed! #celebratingseventy #sensational70 #thebig70 #70 #andtheniwenttothegym #moveitorrust”
Fans rushed Brinkley's comment with birthday well-wishes, but couldn't help comment on the 70-year-old's looks.
One commented on the snap: "On fire at 70."
Another chimed in with: “A true inspiration to women of all ages!!! Stunning.”
Real Housewives of Miami star Adriana de Moura cheered: "You look incredible!!! And you exude confidence!”
Many followers guessed how the ex-model looks half her age, but Brinkley claims she's 'embracing the wrinkles.'
Speaking with People, she said: "I'm embracing wrinkles and thats the way i'm looking at ageing."
"Sometimes when people get older, and they overdo it, they can look waxy and – I don’t know what the word is – preserved or something. I want a little life to show on my face, you know?”
This isn't the first time the mother-of-three has had to defend her ageing process.
Back in 2023 she received 'plenty of body shaming' after uploading a selfie to the platform, later clapping back by changing the caption to: "Update: Whoa Nelly! The Wrinkle Brigade is out in full force in the comment thread! They are the people that scan celebrities’ pages, hoping to find some cellulite, wrinkles, or anything that they can point to to critique,” Brinkley wrote. She suggested that the criticism must be 'some form of compensation for something they are lacking'.
