Olivia Culpo shared a video on TikTok showcasing the extravagant Easter basket she put together for her 8-month-old daughter Colette, which included a pair of $325 Christian Louboutin baby shoes. The basket also featured other luxury items like custom embroidered bloomers, a stuffed bunny, and a copy of the children's book "Guess How Much I Love You." Culpo admitted the Louboutin shoes were "ridiculous" but said she couldn't resist buying them for her first daughter.

Why it matters

Culpo's over-the-top Easter basket for her infant daughter has sparked debate online about the appropriateness of such lavish gifts for a young child. While some praise Culpo's ability to spoil her child, others argue that such excessive materialism at a young age can send the wrong message. The story also highlights the growing trend of celebrity parents showering their children with luxury items, raising questions about the impact on child development and family values.

The details

In the TikTok video, Culpo showed off the contents of Colette's Easter basket, which included a monogrammed LoveShackFancy floral basket cover, custom embroidered bloomers, a stuffed bunny, Easter-themed plastic plates, a busy board, a pink lovey blanket, and a copy of the children's book "Guess How Much I Love You." The pièce de résistance, according to Culpo, was a pair of $325 Christian Louboutin baby ballet flats with a bow attached to the ankle straps. Culpo admitted the designer shoes were "ridiculous" but said she couldn't resist buying them for her first daughter.

  • Culpo shared the TikTok video on Thursday, April 2, 2026, ahead of Easter Sunday on April 5.
  • Colette was born in July 2025, making her 8 months old at the time of the Easter basket reveal.
