"The all-American face of the eighties, Christie Brinkley, has appeared on more than 500 magazine covers in a career spanning a whopping four decades. But until now, her fifteen-year-old daughter Sailor Brinkley Cook's experience in front of a camera had pretty much been limited to family snapshots, Instagram pics, and Snapchats with friends. \"I was so scared!\" the rising tenth-grader confesses of the lead-up to her first professional photo shoot. \"I usually just make a funny face or clench up, so I was like, 'Oh my God! Mom, how am I supposed to do this?'\" Of course, when the Teen Vogue crew arrived and photographer Pamela Hanson started snapping away, Sailor proved she's a chip off the old block. \"I was like, 'OK, these people are nice. We're going to be all right,'\" she says with a sigh of relief.\n\nGrowing up as a full-time resident of Sag Harbor, the idyllic Hamptons hideaway that, when the summer glitterati clear away, is actually a rather sleepy, small-town place, Sailor has managed to avoid many of the typical trappings of bright-lights, big-city living. Her closet isn't filled with designer clothes, although she welcomes hand-me-downs from Mom. (\"She has the best scarves, which I wear with everything,\" she enthuses. \"When I was young, my best friend and I would try on her clothes and make little videos with her high heels. Little did we know how sacred those Christian Louboutins are!\" Sadly, Sailor's shoe size has now eclipsed her mom's.) She describes her style as \"comfortable\" and lives in Lululemon leggings, which she wears high-waisted and pairs with T-shirts or chunky knits knotted at the side. She plays on her school's tennis team and in her town's soccer league, and she harbors a not-so-secret crush on Zac Efron. Just your average American teenager, right?\n\nOf course, she also vacations in spots where brushing shoulders with Zac Efron is very much in the cards. Cue a December 2010 family holiday: \"We were in Turks and Caicos, and we got invited to a Zumba class at Bruce Willis's,\" she recalls. \"I had been Zac's biggest fan since High School Musical\u2014I'm still obsessed with him. So my mom and I walk into the house, and I see his head. I was like, 'Oh my God, Zac Efron's here!'\" she shrieks, as if it were yesterday. \"I pulled myself together and was like, 'Mom, we need to act like I'm not a fan at all. We're just peers. We are good.'\" She breathlessly continues: \"He was picture-perfect, of course. I saw him again a couple days later on New Year's Eve and he goes, 'Hey Sailor, do you want to dance?'\" I went back to my room afterward and video-chatted every single one of my friends. It was my profile picture on Facebook for, like, the rest of the year.\"\n\nWant more?
