Earlier this month, the 17-year-old stepped out in the sparkling vintage Badgley Mischka dress that her mum wore 22 years ago, per People. Henchy donned the square-neck gown for an event honouring her mum at Café Carlyle.

 

It’s not the first time this budding fashionista has sported looks inspired by her famous parent, and her big sister Rowan Francis Henchy is also known to rock looks straight out of Shields’ wardrobe.

Grier Hammond Henchy was born in April 2006 in Los Angeles to Brooke Shields and her film director husband Chris Henchy – on the same day and in the same hospital as Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes daughter Suri Cruise, per People.

According to Shields’ interview on Dirty Sexy Funny with Jenny McCarthy, the protective mama, who’s no stranger to paparazzi chasing her, had an alias at the hospital to protect her privacy. So when The Blue Lagoon actress saw cameras flashing from outside, she’d thought someone had been tipped off until one nurse told her, “Honey, it’s not for you … It’s Katie and Tom.” As we all know, Suri went on to become “the world’s most famous baby”.

She’s signed with IMG Models

You know you’ve made it in the industry when you get signed by IMG Models – the same agency that represents today’s biggest names, including Gigi and Bella Hadid, Stephanie Seymour, Lily Aldridge, Taylor Hill and many more.

Yet Shields wasn’t initially on board with the idea of her daughter joining the cutthroat world of modelling, according to her interview with Live With Kelly and Mark.

“I fought it for so long,” Shields said. “It’s such a different industry now than it was.” Shields added that her youngest kid was most interested in runway modelling. Eventually, she agreed to giving her daughter a chance in the industry after realising she was “really passionate” about it.

According to Henchy’s Instagram profile, she’s currently based in New York, a city renowned for being one of the fashion epicentres of the world.

Henchy has attended multiple red carpets and Hollywood events with her family over the years, but her modelling career is only in its early stages.

 

Nevertheless, she’s off to a strong start. For her first campaign, Henchy posed with Shields for a Victoria’s Secret’s Mother’s Day photo shoot and video.

“It was really fun to be in front of the camera with her,” Shields told People Every Day podcast. Henchy has also attended New York Fashion Week shows for brands like Son Jung Wan, and twinned with mum at a Ferragamo event in Milan in 2021. “I am excited to attend these fashion events, seeing all the amazing outfits and experiencing more in the fashion industry,” Henchy told InStyle.

Besides the shimmering Badgley Mischka dress, Henchy has taken plenty of other pieces from her mum’s wardrobe to attend high-profile events.

 

On one special occasion, the young model rewore Shields’ bright red Dolce & Gabbana suit from her appearance on NBC’s Suddenly Susan, to the premiere of her mother’s documentary Pretty Baby this March.

When Shields’ documentary Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields was released earlier this year, many long-time fans were shocked to hear about some of the traumatic experiences the former child star had experienced during her career.

 
One of the most haunting revelations was the fact that Shields had been sexually assaulted by an unnamed “friend” and big-time executive at the time, as reported by Evening Standard. Shields also spoke about the many controversies around her mother Teri, who “used the system to have a better life”.

Shields said her protective daughters were “mad” because they didn’t know the extent of their mum’s upbringing until they saw the production.

The Endless Love star told People, “You know, I thought I did [teach them], but there’s a lot in the documentary they did not know about with which I got in trouble with them for, because they were mad that I didn’t inform them about everything.”
