6. Christie Brinkley
Christie Brinkley never imagined leaving her graphic design career for the runway, but fate had other plans. With her stunning looks and infectious energy, she graced the cover of *Sports Illustrated* three times in a row, cementing her status as a supermodel and propelling her into the spotlight. Since then, her rise to fame has been unstoppable—she’s become a household name not only for her modeling but also for her acting and business ventures. Now in her 70s, Christie may not be modeling as frequently, but she’s embracing other life experiences. She’s shown resilience and strength, battling glaucoma, undergoing eye surgery, and even having hip replacement surgery. Despite these challenges, she remains a beacon of positivity and self-acceptance. Once known for her blonde locks, Christie is now embracing her age, letting her gray hair shine through—a symbol of beauty and wisdom. Her journey sends a powerful message about the importance of self-love and aging gracefully.
