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.
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.

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,

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
