Brooke wore a perforated pair of clogs that retail for $50 at the ceremony.

“I got my Crocs! I couldn’t do this in heels!” she told People on the red carpet.

The actress had foot surgery just days before the event.

On June 15, she shared a photo of her feet in braces while sitting in the backseat of a car.

“The feet pics are about to level up… Double foot toe surgery,” she wrote.

Fans praised the Hollywood star for “pulling off” the surprising choice of footwear.

“Only Brooke Shields could pull this off…. making Crocs look so damn good with her outfit,” one wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

“Rocking the Crocs,” another added and a third posted, “Not gonna lie, I kinda f**k with it. Comfortable and doesn’t clash with the outfit.”

“Slay!” another user enthused.

Brooke has struggled with a series of health issues over the past few years.

She broke her right femur in an accident at a New York City gym in January 2021.

The actress sustained the injury after falling off a balance board, flying up in the air, and landing on her leg.

She feared at the time that she was paralyzed and would never walk again.

She was unable to see her husband Chris Henchy and her two daughters, Rowan, 21, and Grier, 18, due to Covid restrictions at the time.

The former model had two surgeries and returned home, only to develop a serious staph infection.

She was treated for the infection and slowly learned to walk again.

In September 2023, Brooke was rushed to the intensive care unit after suffering a seizure.

The Blue Lagoon actress said she collapsed “headfirst into the wall” outside a restaurant just days before debuting her one-woman show, Previously Owned.

She said actor Bradley Cooper was by her side in the ambulance when she woke up.

She later developed bronchitis but fully recovered and was able to appear at her show days later.
