Brooke Shields walked in the sun at the Tony Awards on Sunday night.
While the “Suddenly Susan” star sparkled in her yellow Monique Lhuillier dress, it was her practical shoes that stole the show at the event at New York’s Lincoln Center.
Underneath her chic daffodil-hued dress, Shields sported a pair of matching Crocs.
Proud to show off her casual footwear, the veteran actor hiked up her dress to reveal Swiss cheese-inspired clogs.
To add some extra oomph, she styled the look with a square gold clutch, matching bracelets and a pair of pearl earrings.
Shields, who revealed a day earlier that she had undergone surgery on both feet, told People magazine that opting for comfortable shoes was a must for the event.
“I have my Crocs!” she says. “I couldn’t do that in heels!”

During her red carpet moment, Shields took time to celebrate the world of acting and everything it has done for her.
“Broadway welcomed me when no one else welcomed me,” she told People. “I started going to Broadway when I was very little, so for me it’s a part of my life.”
Over the years, the talent appeared in Broadway productions of “Wonderful Town,” “Chicago,” “Cabaret” and “Grease.”
Shields also moved away from the bright lights of Broadway’s biggest theaters.
Last year, she produced the one-woman cabaret “Previously Owned by Brooke Shields” in a limited engagement at Manhattan’s Café Carlyle.
