Christie Brinkley’s name is synonymous with the Hamptons. Besides rolling farmland, rustic beaches, and picturesque towns, something else that frequently comes to mind when people think of the East End is polo.
Christie will host the annual ‘Polo Hamptons Match & Cocktail Party’ at 900 Lumber Lane Bridgehampton on Saturday, June 29, 4pm-7pm. Polo Hamptons will celebrate Christie Brinkley’s July 4 cover story in the luxury lifestyle publication. Over 500 guests will enjoy a thrilling polo match, an open bar, delectable hors d’oeuvres and preferred seating during the course of what promises to be an unforgettable afternoon. Tickets are $175 – $360. For information and tickets, please visit www.polohamptons.com.
In the interview, Christie talks with Editor in Chief Devorah Rose about her love of horses, singing with her family, new products that are joining her healthy prosecco brand, Bellissima, and more.
- On Billy Joel giving her a horse: ”When I was married to Billy, one Christmas morning I awoke to find a white horse with a red ribbon waiting for me on the lawn. And it was the first horse of my very own. Belle Star was her name, and I absolutely loved having a horse that I got to know on a deep level. I knew everything about her: what she was afraid of, what she liked. I would groom her myself, and I just loved that.”
- On Polo: “I think it’s amazing to see the horses and the riders galloping around. They are so passionate, and I love activities that bring people together, especially when it brings people outside. Polo is a beautiful combination of these two things. Being outside, watching horses, enjoying the summer day, and being part of a tradition are things I enjoy.”
- On singing with her daughter: One activity she delights in is singing with her songstress daughter, Alexa Ray Joel. “Alexa loves to do harmony,” Christie says, “She has me do the soprano part and then she does all the harmony around it. The harmony part is the most difficult. And of course, I love it because she does all the work and makes me sound good!”
- On singing with Billy Joel: “Many years after our divorce, Billy would still come to my house for the Christmas singalong and play the piano, and all our friends would come over and sing Christmas carols. Singalongs are one of my favorite things to do. And you know that’s what makes everybody happy,” Christie says.
