Former supermodel Christie Brinkley has posed in a swimsuit at 59 – for the first time in over 30 years.

Christie Brinkley rolled back the years to her glory days as one of the most sought after models as she was photographed for Social Life, a new society magazine for The Hamptons.

She last appeared in a magazine in a swimsuit when she graced the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine.

The ex-wife of singer Billy Joel posed in a black two piece swimsuit at her home in the Hamptons for the photo shoot.

Christie Brinkley is also featured in other poses taken around her $30 million home for the launch issue of the magazine.

The former supermodel, who was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine in 1979, 1980 and 1981, tells the magazine she has become addicted to Instagram.

“I find when I walk with a camera in my hand, I am extra alert and attuned to all the extraordinary beauty that abounds, from the smallest detail of a powdery pistil in a flower to the texture of the sky,” she said.

“Taking pictures intensifies my appreciation and awe,” she added.

Christie Brinkley, who is worth more than $80 million and has been married four times, is lives full time in The Hamptons.

Her most recent marriage ended in a bitter acrimony after her husband Peter Cook cheated on her with a 17 year old girl

Christie Brinkley fought a protracted court battle with Peter Cook where he accused her of only being interested in her fame.

The couple had divorced in 2008 but continued to fight publicly over small amounts of money and accusations of sending rude emails and trading nasty swipes in the press.

The pair reached an out of court settlement last year with Christie Brinkley taking to her Facebook page to express her relief the dispute was settled.

Christie Brinkley wrote: “Once and for all, this is my last word on the subject. Let it be known, that I <<moved on>> from my marriage to Peter Cook the moment a police offer tapped me on the shoulder and informed me that <<my husband had been cheating on me in a two year affair with his 17 year-old-daughter>>. Since that moment, it has been an odyssey of frustration as I have navigated the court system with one goal to find peace and protection for my family from the various forms of abuse at the hands of a narcissist.”

Kate Upton’s second ever cover for Sports Illustrated magazine has been revealed after it was leaked online.

Kate Upton, 20, is near topless as she shows off her famous curves in white bikini bottoms in a snap so scorching she could melt the ice caps in the background.

The blonde bombshell covers her modesty with a fur-lined hooded jacket, pressing her cleavage together as she holds up the hood.

In the snaps, Kate Upton wears minimal make-up on her youthful complexion and has her blonde locks out in a straight style.

Back in December, Kate Upton was seen working the chilly shoot for the magazine spread on a boat with the Sports Illustrated crew.

Sports Illustrated chartered the boat for a ten day voyage between Argentina and Antarctica.

Apparently, they wanted to photograph Kate Upton for the forthcoming issue of the magazine with a backdrop of icebergs.

Kate Upton was more than happy to take part, after all it was featuring on the cover of the magazine’s much-lauded swimsuit edition that Kate first came to public attention last year.

Since that now famous issue, which hit newsstands in February 2012, Kate Upton has become one of America’s top rated models.

Furthermore, she has made the tricky leap from swimsuit model to high fashion, appearing on the covers of American and Italian Vogue.

In photographs from the photo shoot, Kate Upton can be seen braving the incredibly cold minus temperatures in just a small white bikini top and tasseled bottoms.

Her feet, in thermal moon boots, are just as white as the snow piled up on the deck of the boat.

Eventually, Kate Upton was able to swap the ebb and flow of the Antarctic Sea for the firm ground of Antarctica itself.

Bizarrely, Kate Upton was greeted by a man dressed as an Oreo cookie once she stepped on terra firma.

It is not clear why there was a man dressed as a giant biscuit on the icy uninhabited continent, but he might have been overseeing the delivery of 5,000 Oreo cookies to the scientists based at the Palmer Station in the Antarctic Peninsula.
