Shelley appeared in the cover of Bride's magazine in March of 1972. She was a full-time model at that time, having finished her schooling, and had appeared on the covers of various magazines. Bride's or Brides magazine was and is one of the most widely circulated mags that cater to brides and all their needs. Shelley was featured on the cover as well as on the pages of the issue.

For the cover, Shelley wore a sleeveless empire cut bridal gown with a chapel train topped with a sheer organza coat that closed under the chest with a bow and had puffed bishop sleeves ending in ruffles and decorated with guipure lace on the high neck, the sleeve ends and edges of the coat. It was by Bridal originals. Stockings by Christian Dior and shoes by Newton Elkins completed her look. A headpiece by Lounette and a flower basket by Max Schling finished her look. And with her signature smile, Shelley looked like one happy bride.
