Christie Brinkley's Daughter Could Be Twins With This A-List '80s Star

For all the talk of the nepo babies, most of us get a flurry of nostalgic flutters when we see the kids' of celebrities grow up and into their own — bonus points when they look just like their parents. As is the case with supermodel Christie Brinkley's daughter Sailor Brinkley Cook, who has her mom's bright smile and blue eyes. Funny thing, though: Cook also looks freakily similar to another Hollywood celeb. Page Six recently posted pics to X of Brinkley and Cook in the Hamptons for a SiriusXM-hosted John Mayer performance, and one user reposted the photos with the caption: "Why her daughter look more like Daryl Hannah than her???" Whoa. We couldn't agree more.

Once we got past the mom-and-daughter duo's super cute outfits — Brinkley in an on-trend lace cami and Cook showcasing one of the stylish ways to wear denim beyond jeans via a Y2K era-approved cropped jacket — we, too, were struck by how much Cook looks nearly identical to Daryl Hannah when she was her age. Hannah started racking up the credits in the late '70s, but really made waves in the '80s with films like "Blade Runner" and the cult classic "Splash," and she's also made a name for herself as an environmental activist. Looking at Cook, who turned 28 years old in 2026, is taking us right back.

She may look like Daryl Hannah, but Sailor Brinkley Cook seems to be following mom Christie Brinkley's example and making her way into the modeling industry. Cook isn't Brinkley's only daughter, by the way. Christie Brinkley's daughter Alexa Ray Joel has also grown up to be gorgeous. At nearly 5 feet, 10 inches tall (about the same as mom), Cook is signed to IMG Models, and has modeled for Sports Illustrated, graced the cover of Hamptons Magazine, and walked the runway for Dolce & Gabbana. 

Still, Cook told the New York Post in May 2026 that she struggled with her sense of belonging. She said, "I wanted to be a part of this world, but there was just something innate in me that felt like my body, my face — and my everything! — just wasn't good enough, and I didn't deserve to have these opportunities because I'm not Gisele Bündchen or Christie Brinkley."

That pressure helped fuel body dysmorphia and an eating disorder, but she told the outlet that therapy has been helpful. "It's a matter of killing the demon — every single day. Because nothing good comes out of hating yourself." Supermodel Christie Brinkley loves the freedom of aging, and so we can imagine she's grateful that her daughter has also committed to a healthy self-image — while stomping it out on the runway just like she did.
