Looking better than ever, Brooke Shields turned heads in a new photo of her celebrating her 60th birthday on the beach.

“That 60 means slowing down,” the post read. “That change is only for your twenties. That it’s too late to learn something new. That my best days are in the rearview. That women ‘of a certain age’ aren’t a force to be reckoned with. That I don’t deserve products made specifically for me. That not every day can be a good hair day.”

Shield’s documentary, Pretty Baby, gave a deeper look into Brooke’s journey with her self-image. It details the relentless public attention she has endured and her grapple with the expectation to appear flawless. 

When asked if the documentary made her look back on her career differently, Shields expressed the pride she feels over her accomplishments.

Pretty Baby director Lana Wilson touched on the gravity of Shield’s story and her “gaining agency over her life,” she told uInterview in 2023. “When there was so much pressure on Brooke to stay a beautiful object and a model, the culture really wanted her to shut up and just be a pretty face, she was determined to do something else.” 

Now, Shields is promoting her new book, Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed To Get Old. In an Instagram reel promoting the book release, she is seen “swatting away” hate comments. In the caption, she stated, “These are my musings on being a ‘woman of a certain age’ and how I’ve never felt better or more confident than I do at 59 years old. I hope these words make you feel empowered, seen, and hopeful 🩷 Here’s to getting old!!”
