Even Eloise understands: It’s an Alaïa!
Sofia Richie shared some fashionable advice that kept her 7-month-old daughter Eloise amused: a pricey pair of shoes.
The model, 26, posted a photo of her little girl playing with her studded white ballet flats by Alaïa, which retail for $1,290, to her Instagram Story Thursday.
“Wear shoes that keep your child entertained ✅,” she captioned the post.
The fancy footwear is decorated with brass studs and is made of lambskin with a rubber sole.
Eloise was seen grabbing at the shiny details with her tiny fingers as Richie and her husband, Elliot Grainge, lounged on a balcony overlooking a beautiful beach.
And the tiny tot could be following in her mom’s fashionable footsteps as Richie released her first collection of baby clothes — inspired by Eloise, of course — in partnership with Amazon earlier this month.
The fashion designer and music producer welcomed Eloise, their first child together, in May.
“Eloise Samantha Grainge 🤍5•20•24 best day of my life🤍,” Richie wrote on Instagram at the time alongside a black-and-white photo of the newborn’s feet.
The daughter of Lionel Richie initially kept her pregnancy news a secret in order to “protect [their] mental health and [their] space,” she told Vogue in January while debuting her growing baby bump.
“Pregnancy is really scary,” she admitted at the time. “I didn’t realize there are so many milestones you have to hit and so many tests you have to take. For me, it was really important to protect our mental health and our space as a couple.”
Sofia and the record executive married in an opulent wedding in France in April 2023 where guests included Paris Hilton, Cameron Diaz and other A-listers.
Grainge popped the question in April 2023 with a massive emerald-cut diamond ring nearly two years after going public with their relationship.
Earlier this month, Sofia’s bestie Jake Shane opened up about how the new mom has been coping with becoming a parent.
“She is just so in love with her daughter and she’s such an excellent mother,” the TikTok star exclusively told Page Six at the time.
The content creator added that Eloise is “just perfect” and Sofia has managed to gracefully balance her social life and career with being a mama.
“She’s one of a kind,” Shane gushed of his close pal.
