In a display of maternal enthusiasm, model Olivia Culpo has gone above and beyond for her daughter’s first Easter. The star, accompanied by the joy of parenthood, shared her elaborate Easter basket creation for her eight-month-old daughter, Colette, through a lively TikTok video on Wednesday, April 1.
The bespoke basket, a collaboration between LoveShackFancy and Pottery Barn Teen, featured the name “Colette” embellished on it, bursting with a variety of delightful items. Among these were plush stuffed animals, engaging books, and, intriguingly, a pair of baby Christian Louboutin shoes, which retail online for an eye-watering £325.
Culpo enthusiastically showcased the Lou Babe Ballerinas in baby pink, adorned with oversized bows and finished with the brand’s iconic red soles. While acknowledging the extravagant nature of her purchase, she declared, “I just couldn’t resist. I got her her first pair of Louboutins. Yes, I know that this is ridiculous, but she’s my first daughter, and the little baby in me was screaming when I saw these online.”
The shoes have captured the fascination of many, as they are equal parts stylish and playful, embodying Culpo’s mix of luxury and affection as a new mother. “And the little red bottom?” she added with a playful tone. “Are you kidding me?! I’ll wear them when she’s done.”
Culpo’s decision to indulge in this extravagant Easter celebration stems from a sense of guilt regarding her lack of festivities for Valentine’s Day. “I was feeling guilty because I saw a lot of mums do a lot for Valentine’s Day, and I didn’t do anything. I figured this is where I can redeem myself,” she explained. Her desire to create a memorable experience for Colette seems to have driven this uniquely grand Easter gesture.
Among other delightful contents of the basket are custom-monogrammed bloomers from Etsy, a matching set of Easter-themed dishes, and a Pottery Barn Kids busy board, equipped with playful sliding carrots for tactile interest. The thoughtful gift selection also included the much-loved children’s book “Guess How Much I Love You” by Sam McBratney, a classic tale that speaks to the bonds of love.
Adding an emotional touch, Culpo also included a pink bear Lovey and a bunny stuffed animal, which each carry a personalised 10-second message from both Culpo and her husband, Christian McCaffrey, a star player for the San Francisco 49ers. This feature reflects the couple’s commitment to making their daughter’s childhood memorable and filled with love.
In a humorous jab at the practicality of her purchases, Culpo joked about the bloomers, stating, “You don’t wanna look under and see a big, fat diaper. Also, such a good, thoughtful gift, and very affordable.”
Culpo and McCaffrey tied the knot in June of 2024 and welcomed their daughter into the world the following July. Reflecting on her experiences as a new mother, Culpo described the journey as “the scariest and most rewarding of all experiences.” She has expressed great appreciation for McCaffrey’s support during their early days as parents, noting the peace she felt upon his arrival in the delivery room.
With Easter now crafted into a dazzling celebration, Olivia Culpo’s thoughtful, if extravagant, efforts have proven that being a parent often involves finding a balance between love and creativity, even when it comes to festive celebrations.
