Crocs + High fashion = genius

First, I saw Elliot Page don platform Crocs on the Balenciaga Red Carpet in 2021. Then, in 2022, Justin Bieber rocked similar Crocs with metalhead hardware at the 2022 Grammys. And now, Brooke Shields is ditching her heels to join the footwear trend.

The Mother of the Bride star (59) recently attended the 77th Annual Tony Awards at the David H. Koch Theater in New York, and she lit up the red carpet in a sequined, neon yellow gown with a plunge neckline from Monique Lhuillier.. To complete the look, she donned a pair of comfy yellow Crocs.

As for why she opted to wear crocs, Shields told Vulture that she was recovering from "double foot surgery," which she had just three days before the ceremony. In a clip from the red carpet interview, she said, "I had double foot surgery three days ago...but they're the right color, so it's perfect."

Shortly after her procedure, the former model also shared a post-surgery pic on Instagram and wrote, "The feet pics are about to level up."

In the comments, fellow actress Courteney Cox wrote, "Those little guys have been throooouuuugh it!" One fan also joked, "Put your best foot forward. Wishing you a speedy recovery."

At this year's Tonys, the star took the stage to introduce Nicole Scherzinger, who performed "What I Did For Love" from the musical drama, A Chorus Line. And it comes as no surprise that the star took part in the ceremony, given her previous work on Broadway productions like Grease, Chicago, Cabaret and The Addams Family.

While chatting with People, she confirmed that she is open to doing Broadway again. She said, “Broadway welcomed me when nobody else was welcoming me. I started going to Broadway when I was a little, little girl, so to me it's a part of my life.”

Wishing Brooke a speedy recovery (and plenty more fashionable comfort outfits).
