Brooke Shieldshas resurrected a very meaningful piece from her closet.

On Oct. 9, the model and Commence founder, 59, attended the New York City Ballet 2024 Fall Fashion Gala wearing a special dress passed down from her late mother, Teri Shields.

“My mother’s dress [from] when she met the Queen,” Brooke shared.

The vintage design is certainly fitting for a royal meeting with its elegant A-line silhouette, romantic bell sleeves and intricate pearl embellishments. She paired it with elegant drop pearl earrings, a clutch and white flats.

Fashion is always a family affair for Brooke. She’s known for loaning her clothes to her own daughters, Rowan, 21, and Grier, 18, both of whom she shares with husband Chris Henchy.

“It’s such an honor when they want to wear your stuff. Normally they don’t think I’m cool,” Brooke said in her August 2024 PEOPLE cover story.
