Brooke Shields stuns in a showstopping pearl-encrusted gown with a unique royal history.Linh
The Endless Love star wore vintage to the Fall Gala
The 59-year-old attended the special occasion, wearing an incredible cream gown with long, flowing bell-shaped sleeves. Its top half was entirely bejewelled with pearls and other glittering stones in circular patterns. The pearls and stones also embellished her neckline and sleeve hems.
She paired the statement-making dress with sparkling silver ballet flats and simple pearl drop earrings, keeping her usually voluminous brown locks slicked back behind her ears to let the pearlescent look do the talking. A number of subtle gold bracelets and rings encircled her wrists, adding a luxurious tone to the look. But her barely-there nude make-up showed that her dress was meant to be the center of attention for the evening.
Fans would be delighted to know that this gown was not only vintage, but had a special meaning to Brooke Shields, which she shared as she headed into the David H. Koch Theatre.
“My mother’s dress [from] when she met the Queen,” Brooke revealed when asked about the stunning look, referring to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
The look was certainly fit for a queen, and it’s of no surprise that Teri would have met the royal as she long had connections with New York’s upper crust. Brooke’s paternal grandmother was in fact a member of the Italian aristocracy — Princess Donna Marina Torlonia di Civitella-Cesi.
Brooke has made it clear just how much she loves finding vintage dresses a new life, as she’s opened up her own wardrobe to her daughters, Grier and Rowan Henchy.
Famously, her eldest daughter borrowed her 1998 Golden Globes dress for her prom, looking stunning in the form-fitting strapless red gown.
She gushed about the moment: “I thought it was a special night when I was nominated for a Golden Globe and wore this dress in 1998, but nothing could have prepared me to see my daughter wearing it to her prom.”
Meanwhile, Grier wore her mom’s wedding dress, which she wore to marry ex-husband Andre Agassi, for her graduation.
The mother-daughter duo opened up about the decision, with Grier explaining that they had to “re-bone it a little bit so it was tight and sleek,” taking out the “poof” and making it strapless.
“She looked great in it,” the actress told People. “It’s such an honor when they want to wear your stuff. Normally they don’t think I’m cool.”
