Nothing comes between her and her Calvins — except for the highest bidder.
Brooke Shields, 59, is auctioning off the exact pair of jeans she wore while appearing in her iconic Calvin Klein campaign back in 1980, and it’s safe to say the price tag has definitely increased since then.
The pants, which are currently estimated to be valued at $50,00 according to People, will be sold as part of Studio Auctions‘ upcoming event, “From Bombshells to Blasters: An Auction You Can’t Refuse.”

“I am going to be an empty nester! I’m so sad,” she told People, referencing the fact that her daughters, Rowan, 21, and Grier, 18, will both be out of the house in college.
“But now I’m going through all my closets and my things and am ready to give some of my special pieces away, like my Calvin Klein jeans. Can you imagine my waist was ever that small? It’s terrifying! But I hope that somebody enjoys these just as much as I have and finds them as meaningful as I do. I can’t wait for someone to show these off!”
The auction is set to take place over two weekends, Sept. 20 to 22 and Oct. 25 to 27, with Shields’ jeans being part of the second weekend.
There’s no doubt that Shields’ pants have been met with their fair share of controversy.
The “Pretty Baby” actress was just 15 years old when she first slipped them on for her Calvin Klein commercial, famously asking the audience “You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing.”
Multiple TV networks later banned the ad, deeming it too provocative.
“I was naive, I didn’t think anything of it,” she admitted to Vogue back in 2021 when revisiting the tagline. “I didn’t think it had to do with underwear, I didn’t think it was sexual in nature.”
Still, the mom of two is digging deep in her archives for the sale, giving up more than just her precious denim; She’s also contributing multiple personal items, including the script from her 1980 movie “The Blue Lagoon” and the cheerleading sweater she wore in high school.
Shields’ memorabilia will be in good company, too.
“From Bombshells to Blasters: An Auction You Can’t Refuse” will feature a variety of historic pieces, including Glinda’s wand from “The Wizard of Oz” and the suit that Marlon Brando wore during his famous scene in “The Godfather.”
