Iconic Style Passed Down Through Generations

It’s no surprise that Christie would feel a pang of distress over damaging her new Louboutins. Known for her impeccable fashion sense, Christie has inspired not only her millions of fans but also her own family. As a proud mom to Alexa Ray Joel, Sailor Brinkley-Cook, and Jack Brinkley-Cook, Christie has passed down her love for style and elegance. Her daughters have often been seen flaunting the same chic and timeless aesthetics that their mom is famous for.

Her daughter, Sailor, has spoken fondly about Christie’s legendary closet. “I just love being in her closet because it’s massive and genuinely historic,” Sailor said. “She has clothes from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s—the most beautiful collection of clothes—and it’s so fun to go in there!”
