Brooke Shields' daughter says her model mom taught her to wear tight clothes and 'show off what you have'

• Brooke Shields and her daughter Rowan Henchy recently spoke with People about style and beauty.
• Henchy said her model mom taught her to embrace her curves by wearing tight clothes.

Brooke Shields is passing down fashion and beauty advice to her two young daughters.

The 57-year-old model recently spoke with People at Fashionphile's new Authentication Center & Showroom in New York City. Her daughters, 19-year-old Rowan Henchy and 16-year-old Grier Henchy, were also in attendance and shared the biggest style advice they've received from their mom.

"We're a big-boned family — we've got some hips," Rowan told the publication. "And so if there's one thing she's said it's just, 'Wear things that are tight, why not?' It's flattering and not to be provocative or scandalous or anything, but just to show off what you have."

And as it turns out, Shields has also learned a thing or two about fashion through her children.

She told People that Rowan and Grier have a "youthful sense" and "understand fashion differently," which has helped her find a "freshness" in clothing that was missing before.

"For years and years and years, I dressed like an Upper East Side person because I was hosting the 'Today Show,' and I was doing all these events and that was the protocol, that was the uniform," she said. "And I look in my closet and I think, 'That's really not me.'"

Shields frequently posts about her daughters on Instagram, with a recent post highlighting them on Mother's Day.

"My greatest joy in life is being a mother. Happy #mothersday to all who celebrate ," Shields captioned a selfie taken with her daughters.
