The original Uptown Girl! Ageless Christie Brinkley lives up to the lyrics her ex Billy Joel penned about her in Manhattan

Her ex-husband Billy Joel wrote his 1983 smash hit, Uptown Girl, about her.
It tells the story of a working class boy trying to win the heart of a princess from New York's Upper Side and it came to symbolise his union with stunning Christie Brinkley, now 59.
The blonde beauty even starred in the now iconic music video for the song and she remained married to Joel from 1985 to 1994.

Poster girl: Christie Brinkley looked incredible as she left a lunch on Madison Avenue in New York on Thursday

She was just 29 at the time and like Elle McPherson, Joel's ex who had first inspired him to write about dating high society girls, she had Manhattan at her feet.
But look what a difference a decade makes... not a jot!
Because on Wednesday, Billy's Uptown Girl was er, uptown and dining out in some style.
And she looked fabulous. Absolutely fabulous.
