Eternally youthful-looking former supermodel Christie Brinkley is about to cross the pond by taking Chicago’s Roxie Hart to London.
The 57-year-old who made her debut in the role on Broadway earlier this year will transfer to the British capital’s West End for a four week run on July 11.
Brinkley and her daughter Alexa Ray, from her relationship with ex-husband Billy Joel, posed for cameras after treading the boards in New York last night.
The ageless mother looked amazing in a strapless nude Zuhair Murad mini dress with black sequins and giant bow sash while Alexa wore a floral dress with a puffball skirt for her mom’s big night.
Brinkley, who inspired Billy Joel's 1983 hit Uptown Girl, said of her transition into stage roles: “Billy always used to say I could do a Broadway musical.”
The model began her career in the 1970s and became one of the most famous cover girls in the world – she also appeared appeared on the big screen opposite Chevy Chase in the 1983 film National Lampoon's Vacation.
