Sailor Brinkley Cook, the daughter of architect Peter Cook and supermodel Christie Brinkley, looks just like her famous mum. 

The 25-year-old was spotted getting some sun in Miami with friends and riding a bike. She looked stunning in a tiny, red bikini, with her signature blonde locks tied up in a messy bun. 

She had her own Baywatch moment at the beach and looked totally carefree.

Sailor, who is signed by IMG models, has followed in her mum’s modelling footsteps and amassed almost 200,000 Instagram followers. 

She previously told People that her mum’s advice was to work hard and be kind to everyone. 

“Her biggest advice when it comes to being on a set would be just to be as gracious as you can. I always try to introduce myself to everyone in the room and acknowledge everyone in the room,” she told the publication.

Sailor’s also very open about struggling with anxiety, depression and body issues and frequently addresses the subjects online. 

The model will post behind-the-scenes photos from shoots or share snaps from fabulous holidays, but she doesn’t shy away from discussing her mental health.

In a recent social media post, she explained that living with depression was like constantly carrying around a rock. 

“Some days, it is a small rock, a pebble even; it is there, but I can throw it in my pocket and not have to deal with it. On other days, it is a huge rock, a boulder. Taking all my strength to get through the day holding it up,” she wrote.

“Hurting my body carrying it with me, to the point that I have no choice but to put it down and get back into bed.”

She went on to explain that she shared her struggles so that others did not feel alone.

“We all know one of the worst symptoms of depression is feeling alone in your battle,” she wrote.

Sailor also talks about body imagine and, alongside a bikini photo, she encourages her followers not to feel defined by their bodies. 

“No matter what. Celebrate yourself. Our bodies keep us safe and alive,” she wrote. “They carry us through this life. They expand and shrink and build and stretch and curve and squish. Let’s enjoy the changing of the seasons, and let’s enjoy the changes of our bodies.”
