Brooke Shields had a change of heart after sharing stunning swimsuit-clad photos of herself during her family vacation in Croatia.
The 61-year-old looked phenomenal wearing a black, strapless one-piece that highlighted her long legs and slim physique in the images she shared on Instagram on Tuesday.
One breathtaking photo featured Brooke sitting by a waterfall, basking in the sun, and while the scenery was beautiful, it was her seemingly never-ending legs that stole the focus.
“Highlight of the summer: the most amazing trip to Croatia with the best people,” she captioned the carousel of photos from her July vacation.
However, soon after Brooke posted the photos, she abruptly deleted them without explanation.
One reason, though, may have been that she felt the happy images were poor timing, as they were replaced by an emotional tribute to Dolly Parton after news of her death at 80 on Tuesday, August 25.
“Dolly, there will never be anyone else like you. I am gutted to hear the news,” she captioned a photo of her and Dolly holding hands on a stage.
“The world will forever be indebted to the good you’ve done and the legacy you’ve left. The equilibrium of the earth feels off. Thank you for everything.”
Brooke wasn’t the only star to pay tribute to the late country music icon. Sir Paul McCartney, Oprah Winfrey, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and Sir Elton John led tributes on social media.
Meanwhile, landmarks around the US were lit up pink in her honor, including the Empire State Building in New York and the Pacific Park Ferris Wheel in Los Angeles.
President Donald Trump also requested all American flags throughout the United States be lowered to half-mast this week in tribute.
