Upscale Shopping Guide for New Moms
Since celebrities are always dressing themselves in the latest Prada, Dior and Marc Jacobs, its no surprise that they want their offspring to look just as stylish. Chic Hollywood moms like Kate Hudson, Katie Holmes and Heidi Klum dress their kids like little mini-me's, and hit the hottest boutiques in LA, New York and London to stock up on the best- and most fashionable- baby clothes. If you want your kid to dress like an A-list baby, read on to see where the celebrities shop for baby clothes.
Petit Tresor
When Madonna came back to LA with baby David Banda in tow, she reportedly dropped $28,000 at Hollywood hotspot Petit Tresor to decorate his nursery. This A-list baby boutique stocks exquisite baby clothes like cashmere hoodies (from $210) and Petit Bateau onesies. Everyone from Kate Hudson, to Britney Spears, Katie Holmes, and even Larry Birkhead (Anna Nicole Smith's former lover and baby daddy) has been spotted here.

Bonpoint
Perhaps no other country does baby clothes as well as the French (really, have you ever seen a poorly dressed French baby?) Bonpoint, with locations in New York and London, is for parents who don't want to dress their kids in a mini Juicy Couture tracksuit, and prefer something a bit more understated and classic. The boutique is famous for its party frocks and boiled wool cardigans. Suri Cruise wore a Bonpoint dress in her Vanity Fair debut, and moms like Angelina Jolie, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and Gwen Stefani have scooped up other Bonpoint creations.

Wendy Bellisimo
When Brooke Shields was pregnant with her first child, she turned to LA-based nursery designer Wendy Bellisimo to create a dreamy room for her daughter. Wendy has also worked with Katie Couric, Kate Winslet, Denise Richards and Cindy Crawford. Her signature look is to create a soft, inspiring environment that's never too cute or frothy. And if you can't afford her design services, you can afford to buy her products at Babies R Us in the US, such as blankets, cribs, and onesies

Marie Chantal
Since Marie-Chantal is a celeb herself, it's no surprise that her boutiques attract other celebs (she is, after all, married to Prince Pavlos of Greece). One third of the fabulous Miller sisters triumverate, Marie- Chantal is also the mother of four young children. She has boutiques in London, New York, Athens and Thessaloniki, and Bergdorf Goodman and Selfridges also carry her line. The Marie-Chantal look is classic, regal and beautiful, with plenty of Liberty prints, smocked dresses and cashmere and silk.
