Christie Brinkley Promotes 'Uptown Girl' Docuseries in Cannes

Christie Brinkley, 72, made a vibrant appearance at the MIPCOM Festival in Cannes, France, to promote her upcoming docuseries, "Uptown Girl: The Christie Brinkley Story."

The iconic model playfully kicked her leg in the air at a photocall, showcasing her energetic demeanor. She was dressed in a chic knotted shirt, a denim pencil skirt, and matching red heels, accessorized with a Ferragamo Studio Bag.

The docuseries, "Uptown Girl: The Christie Brinkley Story," is inspired by Brinkley's life and her connection to Billy Joel's 1983 hit song of the same name. The series is set to be released by Fox Nation in 2027. It will feature a combination of private archives, home videos, photographs, personal documents, and present-day footage.

"Everybody thinks they know Christie Brinkley, but what they really know are the images," said Prentiss Fraser, president of Fox Entertainment Global. "This series takes you beyond those to meet the woman who built an incredible career, weathered the scrutiny, and is still reinventing herself on her own terms."

Brinkley recently returned to the runway for Dennis Basso's Spring 2027 ready-to-wear show during New York Fashion Week, her first time walking in seven years. In August, she shared that she maintains her fitness through gardening, describing the physical activity involved with handling compost bags. She also spoke about her evolving views on aging, expressing a desire for freedom and comfort with her appearance.

"I think that with age you get... freer," Brinkley stated in a June interview. "You do what you wanna do when you wanna do it. I think that there's a freedom that comes with age that's quite wonderful. You don't really care what anybody thinks about your outfit anymore."

She also commented on cosmetic procedures, noting her past use of Botox but her current preference for a more natural approach to aging.

MIPCOM, the International Market of Communications Programmes, is an annual event that brings together professionals from the television and digital content industries worldwide.
