“Little #TBT action because there’s nothin like a summer holiday weekend,” said Shields in her photo caption. “Be safe out there everyone!!!” The Blue Lagoon star added on and American Flag emoji and full sun emoji to the optimistic inscription.

The stunning photo features Brooke in the 1980s, posing in front of the breaking waves of the ocean wearing a low-and-high-cut Baywatch-esque red one-piece swimsuit and rocking long, flowing, beachy-blonde hair. The actress and model’s toned arms and tanned frame are truly an example of timeless fit beauty, and fans were loving the ’80s flashback, which she has referenced before with her “Thanksgiving tradition” red-swimsuit-sporting pool dunks.

Notably, just flicking back a few pictures in the model’s feed, it’s easy to see that Brooke’s stunning looks in her younger years have merely matured into timeless, refined beauty. To keep her skin looking young, the Pretty Baby documentarian publicly endorses True Botanicals’ Chebula Active Serum, which she calls on her Instagram “the only anti-aging serum you will ever need.”

In an April video for the brand, Brooke candidly confessed, "I can’t say I love wrinkles, because that would be like a lie. But what I will say is that I have earned them and they’re from smiling. I don’t want to eradicate everything that shows my maturity and my growth and who I am today. And I’m not trying to be like I was when I was 15."

That may be so, but it's still fun to see her share memories from those days!
