Supermodel and now Broadway actress Christie Brinkley and her daughter Alexa Ray Joel appeared together on the Tony Awards red carpet Sunday night.

Alexa looked better than I think I’ve ever seen her.  She was the very definition of classy in a black halter dress and glittery shawl.  Christie, on the other hand, probably could have taken a few fashion lessons from her daughter.  She looks like she’s trying out for a role as Tammy Wynette, or going to a senior prom in 1983.  Oh, that hair!  And although I love the electric blue color of her Zuhair Murad gown, would it have killed her to use a little double sided tape on the bodice?  In some photos, she’s about to have a wardrobe malfunction; in others, she’s all lopsided and wonky.   And I’m just not sure which is worse.
