There's a reason Christie Brinkley has a bikini photo as her Instagram profile pic. The "Sports Illustrated" legend is 65 years old, but her bikini body is something else.

Christie kicked off 2020 in style. The blonde is in Turks & Caicos, and her Instagram update came straight from a boat cruising through the Carribean's blue waters. Christie posted multiple snaps, all showing the former model's incredible body as she rocked an itty-bitty string bikini in bold red. Christie was smiling, her skin was golden tan, and she was killing it.
