What goes around really does come back around—even when it comes to wedding dresses. In a new video for People, icon and actress Brooke Shields explained that her daughter, Grier Henchy, repurposed her 1997 wedding gown and wore it to her high school graduation. Shields wore it for her first wedding to tennis champ Andre Agassi. The two divorced in 1999, but it's clear (and fortunate) that Shields kept her gown.

“Her graduation dress was my first wedding dress,” Shields shared in the interview, which also included her other daughter, Rowan. However, Grier noted that the dress required a few updates.

"We had to re-bone it a little bit so it was tight and sleek," Henchy explained. "We took out all the poof, because I didn’t want it poofy."

"And we made it strapless," Shields added. "She looked great in it. It’s such an honor when they want to wear your stuff. Normally, they don’t think I’m cool."

Grier and Rowan are from Sheilds's marriage (her second) to Chris Henchy.

“Honestly, they can wear anything because just to have it have another life—you save the stuff and wonder why,” Shields finished. “It’s like, some big Sotheby’s auction? I highly doubt it. Unless they’re iconic items. So, when they have another life, it feels good.”

The actress also took some time to give some props to her ex, showing fans that there's no ill will between the two.

“He’s a good guy so to me it was really like a big, full-circle moment,” she said. “And it honors something and I think that’s healthy.”

It's not just Grier that's appreciating her mom's collection of couture. In 2021, Rowan raided her mom's closet for prom. For that major moment, she snagged Shields's red Richard Tyler dress, which the star wore to the Golden Globes in '98.

“I was downstairs in New York, going through a bunch of her old dresses, making a TikTok and tried this red dress on. I didn’t really want to go through the process of finding a prom dress," she explained. "I was kinda like, ‘If we have something here...’ and I found this red dress.”

“It fit me except in the boobs, and we got it tailored just a little bit. It was like this is perfect and I’ll just do a Hollywood wave,” she said of the alterations.

Shields reflected on the moment as both a mom and a red carpet veteran.

“First of all, if it had been my idea, it never would have gone over. They would have been like, ‘That’s weird,'" she said. "So, the fact she went downstairs and went through the archives and found it on her own, and it was such a special dress. It was made for me by Richard Tyler and I felt so glamorous in it."
