The “Pretty Baby” star, 59, told the mag that her youngest daughter, Grier Henchy, altered the gown to wear to the ceremony, revealing, “Her graduation dress was my first wedding dress.”

Shields wore the corseted ivory satin gown to marry the tennis player — whom she divorced in 1999 before marrying Grier’s dad, Chris Henchy, in 2001 — but her daughter made some changes to the dress to make it her own.
“We had to re-bone it a little bit so it was tight and sleek,” Grier said, explaining, “We took out all the poof because I didn’t want it poofy.”
And although their marriage didn’t work out, Shields — who called her first husband “a good guy” — said the dress felt “like a big full circle moment” that “honors something,” adding, “I think that’s healthy.”

“She looked great in it,” Shields said, telling People it was “such an honor” for Grier to wear the dress.
“Normally they don’t think I’m cool,” the “Castle for Christmas” actress added — but it seems like Grier and her 21-year-old big sister, Rowan, definitely approve of their famous mom’s wardrobe.
When it comes to stealing clothes, “nothing is off limits” for her daughters, Shields said.

“Honestly, they can wear anything because just to have it have another life– you save the stuff and wonder why,” she shared. “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.”
Shields will sell the jeans she modeled for a 1980 Calvin Klein shoot at the upcoming Studio Auctions event titled “From Bombshells to Blasters: An Auction You Can’t Refuse” — and according to People, the famous jeans are estimated at $50,000.
Too bad Grier couldn’t snag them first.
