Brooke Shields found her summer highlight in Croatia during an adventure-filled trip. The 61-year-old actress and model explored Croatia’s beautiful landscapes with friends such as Chelsea Handler. Shields shared glimpses of her trip on social media, including a photo by a waterfall wearing a black strapless swimsuit.
While at the waterfall, Shields embraced nature. Her Instagram post included her sitting on a moss-covered rock, soaked from the rushing water, eyes closed, face turned to the sun. Her look was completed with a gold chain necklace and bracelets. She expressed her joy by captioning the post, ‘Highlight of the summer: the most amazing trip to Croatia with the best people.’
Another photo showed Shields enjoying the Adriatic Sea. She relaxed on a swim platform attached to a boat, wearing the same swimsuit. Handler joined her nearby in a turquoise swimsuit, while another friend enjoyed the water, wearing a red bikini top.
Shields and Handler cherish their long-time friendship. They have appeared on each other’s podcasts, sharing candid moments about their lives. In Croatia, Shields swapped her swimsuit for a bright yellow dress for sightseeing. She paired the dress with a straw hat and layered necklaces, while Handler sported a white button-down shirt and a patterned skirt.
Shields dove from the edge of a waterfall during the trip, captured in a video on Instagram. Fans responded with praise in the comments, admiring both Shields and the surroundings. ‘Croatia is beautiful,’ a fan remarked. Others praised Shields’ timeless beauty and adventurous spirit.
This vacation follows Shields’ reflections on remaining grounded after decades in the public eye. In a conversation with Oprah Winfrey, Shields discussed handling fame since beginning modeling as a child. She emphasized the importance of staying grounded for her daughters, Rowan and Grier, with husband Chris Henchy.
Shields recounted her close and complex relationship with her mother, Teri. Shields noted how intertwined her identity was with her mother’s management during her early career. Therapy helped Shields develop her own voice, distinct from her late mother’s influence.
