Brooke Shields’ daughter Grier Henchy, 17, models the SAME strapless black gown her mother wore just six months after the teen was born in 2006

Brooke Shields’ daughter Grier Henchy, 17, slipped into one of her mother’s designer gowns over the weekend.

But it wasn’t just any old gown, rather it was the exact same dress the Pretty Baby actress wore just six months after Grier was born.

Shields rocked the full-length frock at the 2006 Carousel Of Hope Ball in Beverly Hills showing off an impressively flat tummy so soon after giving birth.

When Grier had it on during the CNN Heroes event in New York City, she looked just as fabulous because the dress nicely fit her like a glove. 

Brooke has two daughters – in addition to Grier there is Rowan, 20 – with her husband Chris Henchy, a film producer.

Grier has stolen from her mother’s closet before.

In September, she slipped into a shimmering gold gown when her famous parent starred in her own show at New York’s famed Café Carlyle.

Her mother wore the vintage Badgley Mischka dress in 2001 at Marshall Field’s Fash Bash at the Chicago Theater in Chicago.

Both wore the dress beautifully. 

This comes after Rowan wore the actress’ famous red Golden Globes gown to her prom in June 2021. 

Brooke first wore the strapless dress in 1998 when she was nominated for best television actress in a musical or comedy series for her show Suddenly Susan. (Calista Flockhart won that year for her role in Ally McBeal). 

Brooke proudly shared snaps of her 18-year-old daughter’s big night with her followers. 

The star wrote: ‘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. Proud mama.’ 

Brooke beamed as she posed alongside her daughter in one of the photographs. The star was dressed in all white. 

In June Shields battled to stop her teenage daughter going into modelling.

The Blue Lagoon actress, who has spoken out about being raped by a movie executive and feeling sexualized as a child star, is now happily settled and said she ‘fought for so long’ to keep her younger girl out of the business, but has realised things are ‘different’ than when she started in acting.

She said about Grier’s blossoming modelling career on ‘Live with Kelly and Mark’: ‘The rules have changed since I was (a model.)

‘I fought it for so long. It’s such a different industry now than it was.’

Brooke said Grier is doing ‘little things here and there’, but admitted social media still piled pressure on models.

She added: ‘We didn’t have social media when I was a model,’ and branded the modelling industry a ‘rat race’.

Brooke did modelling shoots for print publications, and said she was horrified Grier was ‘interested in runway’.

She added: ‘That’s brutal and backstage is just brutal. I never did runway, I don’t think I would’ve been able to handle it.’

Brooke said when she relented to her girl’s desire to go into modelling she set ground rules.

She added she told Grier: ‘You are going to have a great work ethic, it’s not going to be comfortable, and you’re going to listen to me, those are my rules.’

Going to college was another essential for Grier before Brooke relented.

Brooke tackled her rape and exploitation in her recent documentary ‘Pretty Baby’, and she told during a talk after its premiere in New York how her youngest daughter wept ‘a lot’ while watching the film.

The actress – who was married to tennis champion Andre Agassi, 53, from 1997 to 1999 before getting wed to screenwriter Chris – has also said she didn’t lose her virginity until the age of 22 due to a lack of self-confidence.

Brooke was 15 when The Blue Lagoon came out, and in her role in Pretty Baby aged 11, she appeared naked as a child prostitute with a 29-year-old Keith Carradine.

At 15 she also appeared in Endless Love, which included sex and nudity, and did a nude photoshoot at age 10.
