Early-aughts fashions are back in a big way, especially if you have a superstar mom’s closet to shop. Grier Henchy, the 17-year-old daughter of Brooke Shields, is in that lucky position and recently wore one of her mom’s dresses on the red carpet.

Henchy attended the CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute event in New York City in a black column dress that’s just about her age: Shields wore it in 2006 at the Carousel of Hope Ball in Beverly Hills, when Grier was just six months old, per People.

Given that it’s a simple and timeless design by Richard Tyler, it doesn’t look dated or retro, especially because Grier styled herself with a modern hairstyle and accessories.

Brooke Shields has lent out her pieces to her girls before; Grier wore a 2001 Badgley Mischka gown that was originally Shields’s in September, and for her prom, Shields’s other daughter, Rowan, selected the red dress Shields wore to the Golden Globes in 1998.

It’s honestly so impressive how much of Brooke Shields’s wardrobe still looks, well, normal today. Choosing elegant, classic silhouettes will do that for you!

The star and advocate previously explained the difference in what each of her daughters likes to borrow from her. “They wear my clothes a lot. So whenever they wear anything of mine, it’s validation to me. So what [Rowan] gravitates toward [are] the very functional bags of mine and belts and things like that. [Grier] gravitates toward zero function, all fashion,” she told reporters during an event last June.

And Shields is savvy enough to know which trends from the past her daughters should embrace…and more importantly, which they shouldn’t. As an original pioneer of having full eyebrows, Shields vowed to never let her girls participate in the skinny-brows look that once reigned supreme in Hollywood. “I won’t let them touch their brows, at all. Nothing. Don’t follow a trend, don’t do anything until you’re out of my house,” she said. “Then if you do something, you’re on your own and you’ll be sorry!”
