Christie Brinkley once again proved that age is just a number.
The Cover Girl, 71, looked as gorgeous as women half her age in a pair of pink short shorts with a matching blazer as she visited The View.
She paired the shorts suit with a white, button-down blouse which she left unbuttoned so that her black bra was visible.
Christie kept her long blonde hair in pretty soft waves reminiscent of old Hollywood and wore a strand of pearls around her neck.
Her complexion glowed and was remarkably free of any fine lines or other signs of aging women her age typically have.
The Uptown Girl video star recently revealed which cosmetic procedures she's had done to help maintain her youthful appearance.
In an interview with People, Brinkley admitted she has tried fillers and lasers, but her main priority now is her health.
'I mainly do lasers,' she said. 'I don't try to get rid of every wrinkle.'
'I've dabbled with fillers and I go to my doctor in the city,' she continued. 'I don't want to look "done" or anything.
'I just did Fraxel [a skin resurfacing treatment] because I had skin cancer and that helps get rid of pre-cancerous cells. It's mainly about health for me now,' Brinkley, who revealed last year she was diagnosed with skin cancer, said.
Brinkley, who is releasing her memoir Uptown Girl on April 29, has previously said her goal isn't to eradicate all of her lines.
Brinkley has generally embraced a more natural approach to aging in recent years.
Last year, she told People she wanted her face to show 'a little' of the life she's had.
'I want to accept certain wrinkles. That's the way I'm approaching aging,' she told the outlet last year.
'Sometimes when people get older, and they overdo it, they can look waxy and — I don't know what the word is — preserved or something. I want a little life to show on my face, you know?'
Christie recently talked about the demise of her marriage to Billy Joel, 75. The former couple — who share a daughter, singer Alexa Ray, now 39 — tied the knot 1985 but ended up divorcing in 1994.
She called the Piano Man her 'soulmate' but said that they started having marriage problems when he would disappear for days while he was on a bender.
'If there wasn't that issue, I do think that we were probably really soulmates. It was an amazing time of my life.'
She continued: 'I had so much fun. We were such nomads, gypsies — just between his job and mine, we were seeing the world. It was wonderful, really wonderful.'
She said she had 'visions of his car wrapped around a tree' and she experienced a 'panic I couldn't shake.'
She also recalled how he once vanished during Thanksgiving dinner and another time she saw photos of him out with an Australian actress after a separate disappearance.
When he reemerged that time, she said she locked him out of their hotel room in Hawaii. Brinkley said he was 'visibly and audibly drunk' and had thrown a chaise lounge through patio doors, shattering the glass everywhere.
She explained that the tipping point was watching him be 'delusional' once with his band, which prompted her to ask for a divorce the following day.
She recalled him hosting his band at their East Hamptons home for a rehearsal but got so drunk that he accused them of eating his pasta, which he had eaten himself.
'He was acting delusional in a way I'd never seen before,' she recalled.
'To be clear, I never wanted to end things with Billy. I read every self-help book I could find. We went to see a string of psychiatrists, psychologists and other medical doctors.'
However, she explained that 'the drinking was bigger than the both of us.'
Brinkley wrote in her memoir Uptown Girl: 'Booze was the other woman and it was beginning to seem that he preferred to be with her rather than me.
'He's the father of my firstborn and we spent such great formative years together. And I'll love him forever,' she added.
