Shiloh, Suri and Violet: Diamonds on the Soles of Their Shoes

The Casual Baby Chic of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt

There’s no doubt that these kids hit the genetic jackpot. They might as well have diamonds on the soles of their shoes. Despite being kid-millionaires, the trend in celebrity baby dressing is to keep it casual, keep it real.

ShoeMinx actually suspects Brad participates more in Shiloh’s wardrobe choices. She’s a very well-dressed baby - nothing too cutsie, nothing too girly. She often looks like she’s ready to hit the cricket pitch or the softball mound. Her clothes look “baby-cozy” as they should, nothing too fussy, nothing that reeks of a Victoria Beckham Fairy Godmother having her way. That is to say, Shiloh doesn’t look professionally “styled” - it looks like she’s going to have a great time being a kid.

Shiloh’s brown shoes are Robeez Classic Brown and are on special here.

We especially like it when Brad takes Shiloh’s style old school, to compliment Daddy’s soft spot for his fedoras and vintage cut golf shirts. These Baby Vans are positively-heart-stoppingly-over-the-top ADORABLE! We love this image of Shiloh with her little “paw” up in the air, exposing the cool detail of the non-slip rubber sole.

The Little Princess Look of Suri Cruise

Suri has great style instincts. She’s working and for the moment “owning” the toddler runway as if her tween years depended on it. She dresses like she’s being analyzed - always perfectly on message for the occasion. We all remember the July 4th Independence Day Photo Op.

Tom and Katie often play matchy-matchy with Suri, which somehow seems to work. She already seems tall for her age (she’ll thank Katie for that as opposed to Papa Napoleon Complex) and cashmere wool jackets don’t look ridiculous on her as she’s tapered enough to carry them well. How hilarious is this post? We’re talking about svelte toddler silhouettes! ShoeMinx needs a drink.

Suri’s sweet little gold metallic strap baby sandals are available here.

When it comes to baby shoes, Suri knows it’s all about security. They have to stay on, protect the foot, provide support. And they have to look fabulous. The best baby shoes are non-slip, and of course, they don’t dare pinch the delicate baby foot fat. Yes, there are brands that are known to “pinch” and babies are just not down with that. Who needs a hissy fit when all you need is the perfect set of shoes?

These shoes are on sale here and are ideal for keeping baby happy and wail-free.

Violet Affleck Can’t Wait for Celebrity Baby Camp

Violet’s look is all about action. She’s ready to play. She’s ready to scale a hill. She’s ready to rappel off a building just like her action hero mom in Alias. Violet’s lucky that her Ma was a way more successful action hero than her Pop (Daredevil, yikes!) She looks like she’s already up with girl power by the look of her “power tyke” style.

We love the show biz parka paired with striped leggings and lime green hoodie. This look is just awesome.

Violet’s superhero shoes are available in a variety of sizes here.

And of course, what celebrity childhood is complete without Crocs? Violet’s in the know, thumping around in the cutest baby adaptation of an adult trend. This is one case when the kids look way cooler wearing the trend than their parents.

A Trip down the Campaign Trail in Pictures

Let’s face it. Every memorable presidential  administration was all about personal style. Jefferson was the original preener. Despite looking like a twisted boot, FDR had it. JFK had it in spades.

As we careen towards the most telegenic, hypnotic and addictive US Election in decades, ShoeMinx would like to weigh in on how air-kissing Cindy McCain stacks up to fist-thumping Michelle Obama. We all know that Jackie O set the benchmark for First Lady trend-setting, what with her eventual contraband addiction to Chanel. How uncivilized that the populist American people drove her love of elite couture underground. Ah well, she strove on in style.

Michelle is blessed with a lovely figure and can carry off a wide array of designers. We like more archival images, which show a classic style. We like these sling back kitten heels.

But she can also look relaxed and unassuming, like a stylish high school teacher.

Opposed to the “look at me” ensembles of Cindy McCain. We’d be afraid of the next four years being run like a Ashley Madison late night telethon.

And we like that Michelle’s got a relaxed look that isn’t all about “has this outfit been photographed from all possible angles in a test run?

And this is a personal ShoeMinx favorite. The color is regal without being overpowering. The cut is classic and flattering. She looks confident, put together and in control. The message is clear, “We’re on the way up”. The shoes are a perfect cap to a strong statement.

And Cindy gets high points for making a really predictable look work in her favor. She looks keen, bright and tailored to a T. We would lose the pearls on this one though.
