Following her shocking appearance at a recent launch party, Christie Brinkley, 70, has received a lot of feedback from her followers.

The famous model looked stunning, but her choice of clothing caused some controversy among observers who thought it was overly exposed for her age.

Poster Brinkley made headlines at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue launch party, which celebrated the magazine’s 60th anniversary edition,

when she showed up in a daring $225 gown with dramatic, extra-long sleeves that swept the floor with grace.

She had been invited to the event.She was able to pose up a storm because the billowing cloth caught the wind as she posed for the cameras.

Alongside other celebrities including Martha Stewart, Tyra Banks, Chrissy Teigen, and Kate Upton,

Brinkley may be seen on one of the group covers for the anniversary issue of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit,

where she is dressed in a shimmering metallic dress. Brinkley, who has appeared on the magazine’s cover eight times since making her debut in 1975 at the age of twenty-one,

expressed her gratitude to the publication on Instagram after sharing the photo and the other two group covers.

She expressed her gratitude in the caption, saying, ‘I am beyond measure grateful for my many happy adventures with @si_swimsuit,’ adding that she felt ‘lucky’ to have met some of the women in the photo.

Admirers were quick to complement the timeless beauty on her gorgeous red dress and laud her glowing appearance.

One fan said, ‘Stunning as always,’ and another said, ‘I’ve got to give it to her, she looks awesome in this dress!’

The gown’s striking style, however, did not win over everyone. It was deemed by several reviewers to be overly audacious for someone her age.

‘She is dressed inappropriately for her age,’ someone said in a comment. There is no need to make a slit there!

She’s a grandmother. ‘She used to be so classy and beautiful, now just desperate,’ a commenter said, seemingly disappointed.

Many people think Brinkley looks amazing despite these differing views, and her confidence further strengthens this perspective!

Celebrating Brinkley’s longstanding partnership with Sports Illustrated, the evening marked a momentous occasion in the magazine’s history.

Although her choice of attire caused some controversy, it also demonstrated her wonderful self-assurance.

Brinkley is a model of classic elegance who never goes out of style, demonstrating that genuine style is ageless!
