Actress Brooke Shields has said her three-year-old daughter loves to dress up in her shoes.
The 44-year-old star has two young daughters – Rowan, six, and Grier, three – with husband Chris Henchy.
She recently attended Choo 24:7 by Jimmy Choo Launch at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York and talked about her daughter’s fondness for the pair of heels she was wearing.
She said to In Touch: “My little one was wearing these all night. I had to pry them off her feet to get them on mine!”
Talking about her younger daughter, she added: “My younger one wants anything sparkly, and my other one is a self-proclaimed ‘hip-hop girl’.”
Former Playboy star Kendra Wilkinson has said she knows she’s a great mum.
The 24-year-old reality star was recently seen crying as she made her way through crowds at the Super Bowl with her then eight-week-old son Hank IV.
A week after the event, Wilkinson hosted a Valentine’s Day party and said to Life & Style: “I know that I’m a great mum – my No.1 priority is my child. We had good intentions.”
Wilkinson added that she had thought twice about taking the baby to the game, where his father Hank Baskett was playing for the Indianapolis Colts.
She said: “I thought: ‘This is probably the only time he’ll go to a Super Bowl, and it’d be so cool to have pictures of him there in his jersey’. I didn’t know I was going to walk half a mile to get to the stadium seats. I was actually really scared because it was the first time out with my son. He slept through everything.”

Model Kate Moss has said she ‘still can’t quite believe’ she’s made it in the fashion industry.
The 36-year-old star is one of Britain’s most well-known and successful models and said she didn’t think it would happen.
Asked if she always dreamt about being a model, she said: “I still can’t quite believe it, even now. I still think I’m blagging it a bit, but nobody’s cottoned on yet!”
Moss added that she had always dreamed of being a model but wasn’t sure if it was the career for her.
She said: “I was only 14, so I hadn’t got around to thinking about it.
“I had this lovely geography teacher, and I asked her whether she thought I should give modelling a try, and she said: ‘Kate, just give it a go. If it doesn’t work out, you can always go to college.’”
Grand slam star Serena Williams has a back-up plan.
One half of history’s most famous tennis sisters is studying to become a nail technician. Williams, who along with her sister, Venus, sidelines in fashion and glamour, said on her blog: “No one likes getting their nails done more than I do. As a matter of fact I go every four days to get a manicure and every seven days for a pedicure. So, I had a brilliant idea to get certified to be a nail tech.”
Serena, who took out the Australian Open last month during a nail-biting final, has wasted no time. “I thought ‘Serena, this is a no-brainer’. Immediately after I came home from the Australian Open I researched some schools and enrolled in a course that allowed me to complete 240 hours [the minimum requirement to be certified in Florida] at my own pace.”
The move may be a sign Serena is starting to see life beyond a grand slam. Digital Spy reports she continued: “The night before my class I made sure I had all my tools, books and gear organised. I went to the Hello Kitty store and bought plenty of containers as well as a backpack to keep my belongings. If I’m not the best, I sure do want to look like it. Not only do I plan on being the top student to graduate from my nail school, but I also intend on being the most fashionable! Don’t be surprised if you hear about a part-time job I’ve picked up at a local nail salon.”

Things will be a lot different by then. I won’t be dancing over my coffee table any more. Through the magic of 3-D, I’ll be dancing over yours.”
