Talk about a proud mom moment!

Grier Henchy, the 18-year-old daughter of Brooke Shields and Chris Henchy, made her New York Fashion Week debut walking in the Tommy Hilfiger SS25 show on Sept. 8.

Grier modeled a sleeveless black dress while stomping the runway, which was actually on board a decommissioned Staten Island Ferry — the very one owned by Colin Jost and Pete Davidson.

Grier certainly loves to make a fashion splash. She and Shields recently told PEOPLE about the very special dress that the teen wore to her graduation this year.

“[Grier's] graduation dress was my first wedding dress,” Shields told PEOPLE in August of the gown she wore to marry tennis ace Andre Agassi in 1997. 

“We had to re-bone it a little bit so it was tight and sleek," Grier added. She graduated high school this past spring and recently joined older sister Rowan Henchy, 21, at Wake Forest University.

“We took out all the poof because I didn’t want it poofy,” Grier said.

“And we made it strapless,” Shields noted. “She looked great in it. It’s such an honor when they want to wear your stuff. Normally they don’t think I’m cool.”
