Brooke Shield Reveals Daughter Grier Wore Her ‘First Wedding Dress’ as Her Graduation Gown; Deets Inside

by

As an ardent fan of Brooke Shields, I find her family’s fashion-forward antics nothing short of captivating! The way they weave their history into their present, through the medium of haute couture, is a testament to their unique bond and shared memories.

As a devoted admirer, I, Grier Henchy, have made the decision to don my mother Brooke Shields’ first wedding dress for my high school graduation in 2024. This iconic gown, which originally graced my mother at her 1997 wedding to tennis legend Andre Agassi, has been tastefully updated to align with my personal style. The voluminous details of the original dress have been streamlined, and a strapless design has been incorporated for a modern touch.

Shields, aged 59, commended the final look, remarking, “She wore it beautifully.” Grier, who together with her 21-year-old sister Rowan have just joined Wake Forest University, expressed gratitude for their daughter’s choice and appreciated the hard work behind it.

This week, PEOPLE magazine disclosed that Brooke Shields and her kids, Rowan and Grier, revealed insights into their household routines. It’s important to note that Chris Henchy, Brooke’s second spouse, is the father of Rowan and Grier. In the interview, Brooke talked about her children having the liberty to explore her closet.

Shields, now accustomed to an empty nest, shared that she permits her kids to pick items from her wardrobe. She explained that she views nothing as off-limits, considering it a means of giving her clothes another lease on life. Shields expressed joy in seeing her children wear these pieces instead of them gathering dust.

Brooke Shields shared that instead of choosing her outfits based on antiques or expensive auctions, she takes joy in seeing her children wear and appreciate her clothes. She explained that doing so helps keep the memories tied to her clothing meaningful and vibrant.

She mentioned the wedding dress she wore when marrying her former husband, Andre Agassi (whom she separated from in 1999), as an impressive illustration. Shields discussed how vital it was for her daughters to wear her distinctive outfits, viewing it as a way to honor the past and preserve the sentimental memories connected with those special garments.

In 2021, Rowan Shields, Shields’ daughter, grabbed attention when she opted to wear one of her mother’s iconic gowns to her high school prom. This very dress was initially worn by Shields at the Golden Globes in 1998, designed by Richard Tyler. Rowan shared that she found the dress while rummaging through her mother’s vintage closet in New York City.

At first, she was rummaging through her closet for a TikTok video, when suddenly she found a red dress. Remembering she needed a prom dress but didn’t have much time to spare, Rowan thought about repurposing something from her mom’s wardrobe instead.

Following her find of the red gown, Rowan opted to give it a spin to see if it would suit her. To her delight, only minor alterations were needed for an ideal fit. Although she had to tweak the dress near the chest area, she was more than satisfied with the final product and decided to complement it with a stylish Hollywood wave hairstyle.

Initially, Brooke Shields expressed satisfaction with the outcome. However, she hinted that suggesting the red dress might not have been met favorably if she had chosen it herself. On the contrary, she appreciated that Rowan discovered and picked out the dress independently.

In a past occurrence, my agency cautioned me about a potential setback concerning my cherry-red gown and my career in acting. Despite their concerns, I chose to don the dress, proving to be a bold move. Eventually, that striking red ensemble became a regular sight on the Golden Globes red carpet.
