Brooke Shields was spotted arriving at her New York City brownstone on Wednesday after revealing she recently suffered a terrifying seizure.
The Calvin Klein ambassador, 58, looked every inch the iconic model while hitting the Big Apple pavement in a super casual ensemble of sweatshirt and jeans.
Rocking a messenger bag and a Goyard Artois PM tote bag, the actress looked effortlessly chic for the chilly outing.
She kept her trademark chestnut tresses long and loose and added a pair of red designer glasses to the mix to set off her classic look.
The excursion comes after Brooke said she was hospitalized in September after a seizure saw her ‘frothing at the mouth and go totally blue’.

The actress was days away from her Café Carlyle show debut when she collapsed ‘headfirst into the wall’ and started having a grand mal seizure outside the restaurant L’Artusi in New York.
Speaking for the first time about the frightening health scare, Brooke revealed Bradley Cooper rushed to her aid and held her hand in the ambulance as she was taken into intensive care.
Brooke said the grand mal seizure happened because she was drinking too much water for her show and was low in sodium.
‘I was waiting for an Uber. I get down to the bottom of the steps, and I start evidently looking weird, and [the people I was with] were like, “Are you okay?”, she told Glamour in the US Women Of The Year issue.
‘I walk into the restaurant L’Artusi, and I go to the sommelier who had just taken an hour to watch my run-through. I go in, two women come up to me; I don’t know them. Everything starts to go black.
‘Then my hands drop to my side and I go headfirst into the wall. I start having a grand mal seizure.
‘It means frothing at the mouth, totally blue, trying to swallow my tongue. The next thing I remember, I’m being loaded into an ambulance. I have oxygen on. And Bradley f*****g Cooper is sitting next to me holding my hand.’
Brooke said Bradley, 48, was called after the waiter at the restaurant was unable to get through to her husband Chris Henchy. An assistant knew Bradley was nearby and the Hollywood actor headed straight to L’Artusi.

‘His assistant called Bradley and said, “Brooke’s on the ground. Chris isn’t around. Go get her.” And he came, and somebody called the ambulance. And then it was like, I walked in with Jesus,’ she said.
Brooke described the ambulance journey as ‘surreal and odd’ with the actor telling her: ‘I’m going to hospital with you, Brooke’.
The actress and Bradley have friends for over a decade and became close after they starred together in the horror film The Midnight Meat Train in 2008.
Once in intensive care, Brooke said she felt ‘stuck’ after doctors put in a catheter and IV drip.

Brooke said doctors told her she had too much water and questioned if she had eradicated salt from her diet – something which she vehemently denied as she wasn’t on some ‘crazy actress’ diet.
Brooke said doctors’ advice was to have more salt in her diet.
The actress went on to make a recovery and presented her one-woman show debut on September 12.
