Actress and model Brooke Shields, 61, has shared photos and videos from a holiday in Croatia, describing it as the "highlight of the summer." The trip, taken with friends including comedian Chelsea Handler, featured a mix of sightseeing and outdoor adventure, and comes months after Shields spoke publicly about the challenges of staying grounded following a lifetime in the public eye.

The Instagram carousel showed Shields in a black strapless swimsuit beside a waterfall and relaxing on a boat, as well as jumping into water from a rocky ledge in one video. She was also pictured exploring Croatia's streets in a yellow dress alongside Handler, 51. The post drew an enthusiastic response from fans, who praised both the scenery and Shields' appearance. The getaway followed a July 2026 interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which Shields discussed navigating fame since childhood and the effort required to remain grounded, particularly as a mother to her two daughters.
