With a few weeks left until Russian model Irina Shayk and her screen actor beauty Bradley Cooper welcome their first child, the couple had a low-key intimate baby shower in LA this month.
According to insiders, Cooper’s mom and family did a lot of the organizing, but the famous actor was around to help a lot too.
“Bradley was hanging with his mother, making sure everything went smoothly,” the source toldE! News exclusively. “He is always very chill and relaxed.”
During the casual daytime event, guests dined on finger foods surrounded by decorations consistent with the baby’s sex.
As far as we know, it hasn’t been released to the public and the couple are doing an excellent job remaining very private and public
Later, the Victoria Secret model opened up “adorable” gifts that included “many designer outfits and toys, all with an expensive price point. She was smiling ear to ear during the whole occasion.” The source also told E! that the shower was “more perfect than she could’ve imagined.”
Must have been a nice event.

Who is your Eighties style icon? There were so many that came out of the 1980’s, but I would have to say Madonna.
What decade had the best style and why? I don’t think there is a best or a worst decade for style. Fashion is all about self-expression. Something that was once a fashion faux pas is the trend of the season in the future.
Describe your personal style Simple chic. Less is more.
Where is your favorite place to shop? Whenever I’m in a new city I like to explore the local shops, so I can find any place to shop. But, I would have to say that Paris is still my favorite city for shopping.
Daily uniform? All black and comfortable shoes. Right now I love the iconic Bally men’s tennis shoes. I think it’s cool to mix menswear in to your daily look.
Who is your style icon and why? Elizabeth Taylor. Not only was she a fashion icon that exuded class, but she’s also an icon for me because of her groundbreaking charity work with amfAR and all of the awareness she raised for the AIDS crisis when everyone else turned their backs on an entire community. To me, that’s a true icon and trailblazer.
What are your beauty essentials? I’m a L’Oreal woman, of course, and using the Pure Clay mask twice a week is a great way to purify your skin after a stressful week or long flight. On a daily basis, I use the Ideal Moisture lotion twice a day and the L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes mascara before heading out to a dinner.
Bradley Cooper is proving to be the most supportive and romantic partner as he and girlfriend Irina Shayk prepare for the birth of their first child.
The 42-year-old actor has been accompanying the pregnant model on her OB/GYN visits and delights in watching their baby develop.
“Bradley has been there for her and is loving seeing the baby grow inside her,” a source told E! News exclusively. “They share those moments when the baby kicks and they can’t wait! Bradley been taking her to her doctor visits and is so excited every time they see the baby. She is very healthy and the baby is as well.”
Shayk, the source said, is “feeling good” but is getting more tired as her pregnancy progresses. The 31-year-old had showcased a baby bump while walking the runway at the 2016 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in November and insiders than told E! News she and Cooper were expecting their first child.
“She can’t wait to be a mom and would like more kids after this,” the source told E! News Thursday.
Another source had said in December that the two hope to have more kids after their baby is born.
Cooper and Shayk have not talked about her pregnancy. The second source had told E! News they know the sex of their child and have picked a few baby names they like.
When you are the very gorgeous Russian Victoria Secret model Irina Shayk and you’re expecting your first baby with actor Bradley Cooper, of course you’re going to have legs like this in your second trimester of your pregnancy.
Wowza!
Cooper and Shayk were spotted at LAX this week. A source toldE! News recently that the couple are excited about their first kid.
“Irina is feeling wonderful. She is so happy,” the source said, hinting that the couple still have to baby-proof and pick a name. “Bradley and her can’t wait for their baby to arrive in the summer.”
If the kid is due in the Summer, then they have plenty of time.
Russian model Irina Shayk is reportedly in her second trimester of pregnancy with her and actor beau Bradley Cooper‘s first child together.
The gorgeous and leggy brunette walked the Victoria Secret Fashion Show on November 30, 2016 in Paris, France in a red fringe cover revealing her new pregnancy boobs. She later changed into another outfit that involved a trench coat, thigh high patent leather boots and plenty more cleavage.
The second outfit totally showed off her round tummy and was an unofficial announcement. Brazilian models Alessandra Ambrosio and Lily Aldridge were both pregnant in 2011 when they both walked the show.
Models bounce back pretty quickly as was shown by Heidi Klum who walked that show in 2009 about 5 -weeks after giving birth, and Lima, 8 weeks after she gave birth.
After the event, which took place at the Grand Palais in Paris, she attended after parties in a striped negligee like dress that was a little more concealing but still revealed a bulbous tummy.
It has been 10 years since I last posted the annual Bellyitch Most Expensive Strollers post. It was a yearly blog post staple and used to get tons of traffic because, honestly, I think people, generally, are obsessed with knowing what baby items are used and coveted by the super wealthy and celebrities.
Since the last post, a few stroller companies have gone out of business. RIP to Orbit, Maclaren and newer brands 4Moms and iCandy, which were once considered “it” strollers in their day but no longer manufacture luxury strollers.
In 2013, I published the list as part of the Bellyitch 100, a book of the top crib makers, maternity wear designers, stroller makers and baby clothes brands.
Anyway, so I used to publish the Most Expensive Strollers list at a time when I was raising a young family and brands would boast that they were on the list.
My social circle at the time included professional working women, stay-at-home moms, and mom bloggers, several who were affluent and looked at the stroller as a status symbol.
Here is another secret about what happens among moms at the park, at the school pick up lot, in the mall and other social places where mommies congregate. They check out what strollers they’re pushing a baby or child in and make judgments.
Yes, there is a definite hierarchy in quality of strollers and believe me when I tell you that certainly check out what stroller another mom’s child is being pushed in and make judgments.
When I was raising my children as a young lawyer, I went through 6 strollers, which is a low number considering many of my friends at the tiem had way more.
Our first stroller was a Peg Perego which converts from a baby carriage or pram to a push stroller. At the time, it was among the best. Then, when my first born turned into a toddler, we ordered theInglesina Swiftumbrella stroller from the Italian stroller manufacturer. It had a great run!
To pair with the Inglesina, a sturdy Italian brand, we got a lower cost Combi umbrella stroller for travel, a stroller we could beat up which was so much less that so that we wouldn’t mind if it got lost by the airline or damaged during travel.
Then, when I was expecting baby #2, I got as an amazing shower gift from my co-workers at my old job: a Peg Prerego Aria doublestroller!
By the time baby number 3 rolled around, the Inglesina had hit the dirt, we left the Combi on some island we visited for vacation once and we had loaned out the Peg Perego Buggy to relatives who didn’t take good care of it.
The wheels on the double gave out and we opted to give to Goodwill rather than try to fix it or get the company to repair it.
B.O.B.
We opted for a lesss expensive Graco Snug Ride for Baby #3 and aB.OB. jogging stroller (the air-filled jogger stroller with hand activated rear wheel brakes that can ride smooth on any terrain) when I was ready to get back in shape.
Now, while we didn’t get any of them to make a statement, I have had many moms and dads comment on the pricier high end ones while walking in the parks, malls etc. People are always looking for a status symbol and there is a preconception that most expensive means the best!
It’s no wonder, you can see celebrities strolling their children in many of those on this list. The celebrities know that too. That is why Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony sued Silver Cross from publishing on their website an unauthorized endorsement which featured a People magazine photo of them pushing their twins in two Silver Cross prams.
People flock to buy whatever celebrities purchase and that stroller companies know that endorsement mean lots for their bottom line.
Anyhoo, on to the list. Of course, as a disclaimer, this list is not exhaustive. As usual, this list is based on my own personal research and I urge readers to point out other vehicles that should grace this list. Certainly, I would amend the post to reflect corrections.
In the meantime, check out this year’s list of “it” strollers pushed by the most Poshest of moms and celebs out there (I’m updating this list with a few more after the initial post so come back and ping me on Twitter if you don’t see one you think should be on this list)

There you have it! Good luck stroller shop or social climbing, whatever floats your boat!
This year’s annual gala to celebrate the opening of a new exhibit at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of the Arts, was more over the top than ever before.
Perhaps because the theme was “Camp”, maybe, celebrities brought extra extravagance and bold and gregarious fashion and antics.
The official theme of the Met’s 2019 was “Camp: Notes on Fashion” and celebrates the newest exhibit which is inspired by Susan Sontag‘s 1964 essay that defines camp as “love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration.”
I think Lady Gaga might have won with her theatrics that included he unraveling and revealing of not one but four looks by designer, with the assistance of a small army of flamboyant but meticulous handlers.
Cardi B’s presentation and actor Billy Porter’s were quite spectacular and so much so, I almost forgot previous mega head turners Rihanna, Beyoncé, Madonna and third-time mom-to-be Blake Lively were conspicuously missing.
My fave looks were by women who are not yet moms (per this is a celebrity pregnancy blog so they focus is on moms)
First was singer and Endgame actress Hailee Steinfield
My second fave was Lupita Nyong’o who is stunning!
And of course, we saw lots of the celebrity moms we have featured on Bellyitch who each brought their total A game to the party and did it up right!
I am proud of myself for having the institution memory to have been able to recognize all of these beautiful moms without reading the caption to see who they are. Woot.
It has been 10 years since I last posted the annual Bellyitch Most Expensive Strollers post.

There you have it! Good luck stroller shop or social climbing, whatever floats your boat!
Mom-to-be Chanel Iman looked radiant while presenting at the 2018 Fragrance Foundation Awards at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center on June 12, 2018 in New York City.
The Victoria Secret model went with her signature red carpet look: a floor-length sleek dress with a deep split. That day, it was a one shoulder dress in crimson color.
It was reminiscent to the black dress she worked to the 2018 CFDA Fashion Awards at Brooklyn Museum a couple weeks earlier on June 4, 2018 in New York City.
