Brooke Shields Shares Swimsuit Throwback Pic For Fourth of July
Brooke posted the picture on Thursday in honor of #TBT (Throwback Thursday)—and in honor of the Fourth of July. ”
“Little #TBT action because there’s nothin like a summer holiday weekend,” said Shields in her photo caption. “Be safe out there everyone!!!” The Blue Lagoon star added on and American Flag emoji and full sun emoji to the optimistic inscription.
The stunning photo features Brooke in the 1980s, posing in front of the breaking waves of the ocean wearing a low-and-high-cut Baywatch-esque red one-piece swimsuit and rocking long, flowing, beachy-blonde hair. The actress and model’s toned arms and tanned frame are truly an example of timeless fit beauty, and fans were loving the ’80s flashback, which she has referenced before with her “Thanksgiving tradition” red-swimsuit-sporting pool dunks.

Fans Comment: ‘You Were My Teen Idol!’
Perhaps posting the picture as a tribute to summers gone by, Brooke‘s sizzling summer snapshot left all kinds of commenters feeling nostalgic. “You were my teen idol!” exclaimed one Instagram fan. “I loved that you were TALL, had DARK HAIR and were athletic! It fit who I was and it for me was INCLUSIVE!” Another follower joked, “Stunning. But those deep tans we used to get – ouch.”
Many remarked on Brooke’s youthful, all-American looks in the throwback picture. “Always a scroll stopper,” said one commenter, in reference to the practice of scrolling through an Instagram feed. Multiple followers commented, simply, “Goddess!”

Notably, just flicking back a few pictures in the model’s feed, it’s easy to see that Brooke’s stunning looks in her younger years have merely matured into timeless, refined beauty. To keep her skin looking young, the Pretty Baby documentarian publicly endorses True Botanicals’ Chebula Active Serum, which she calls on her Instagram “the only anti-aging serum you will ever need.”
In an April video for the brand, Brooke candidly confessed, "I can’t say I love wrinkles, because that would be like a lie. But what I will say is that I have earned them and they’re from smiling. I don’t want to eradicate everything that shows my maturity and my growth and who I am today. And I’m not trying to be like I was when I was 15."
That may be so, but it's still fun to see her share memories from those days!
