She was warned when she began modelling that her career would be over by the time she turned 30.
But at 57, Christie Brinkley shows no sign of losing her Uptown Girl appeal.
The mother-of-three proved she still knows how to turn heads yesterday in New York as she showed off moves from her role as Roxie in the Broadway version of musical Chicago.
And in a skintight red Herve Leger dress, the glamorous blonde could have passed for a woman half her age.
Miss Brinkley, who has been married four times, told a New York breakfast television host that her ex-husband Billy Joel, 61, had given her some singing tips before she auditioned for the musical.
‘He helped with my projection,’ she said.

The star, who has appeared on more than 500 magazine covers, also revealed that dancing in the show had ‘definitely’ improved her figure.
Miss Brinkley was criticised for her dancing in the 1983 video for Joel’s hit Uptown Girl – but insists she has improved since.
