The Most Jaw-Dropping Celebrity Baby Showers
Baby showers are a time-honored tradition. Showering a mama-to-be with diapers, clothes, and other must-have items for their new baby is like a birthday party before the birthday, and it’s always a good chance to catch up with friends and family before your little one is born (or even after, looking at you Sofia Richie!). But while our baby showers typically look like cake, silly games, and colorful balloons, many celebrities have taken it up a notch (or 12!) with their soirees.
Recently, there were several celebrity baby showers that stood out for their overall extravagance, use of technology, and completely out-of-the-box activities. While some baby showers, like Lindsay Lohan’s, were more laidback, others were completely over-the-top — and we love living vicariously through their photos and videos.
From drone displays to very un-traditional venues, these celebrity baby showers left us speechless. Check out these amazing celebrity baby showers — and maybe get some inspiration for your own!

Sofia Richie
Sofia Richie threw an amazing baby shower in June 2024, three weeks after she gave birth to daughter Eloise, who she shares with husband Elliot Grainge.
The luxurious garden party took place outdoors with colorful flowers and Dior dishes decorating the tables, a macaron tower, and more, according to pictures posted on her Instagram story, per Page Six. There were custom cocktails including “Pump and Dump” and “Mama’s Juice,” shower games like “Don’t Say Baby,” pink sweatshirts for attendees, and a guest book for partygoers to write sweet notes.
It looked like the perfect summer get-together!
‘Love Is Blind”s Alexa & Brennon Lemieux
After meeting and getting married on the Netflix show Love Is Blind, Alexa and Brennon Lemieux celebrated by incorporating another Netflix series in the shower. They had a Bridgerton-inspired baby shower, and it looked awesome! The party was held at a vineyard in Texas, where everyone wore dresses to the garden party.
“It was a beautiful sunny day where the guests walked around with parasols,” Alexa told PEOPLE about her shower. “It was a scene straight from Bridgerton. We had baby bottle chugging contests and a teddy bear flip cup game where guests competed on who could put the bear’s diaper on the fastest.”
“It was a wonderful day of my closest friends and family coming together to share in the joy and excitement of welcoming our love bug into the world,” she added.
Rumer Willis
Despite being the person-of-honor, Rumer Willis put on a show for her guests at her baby shower.
The Sorority Row star, who wore a form-fitting white dress that showed off her bump, sang songs with boyfriend Derek Richard Thomas accompanying on the piano, per Page Six. Her mother Demi Moore, stepmother Emma Heming Willis, and four sisters were all in attendance on the special day.
The “Feels So Good” singer told the outlet about her March 2023 shower, “I feel such gratitude and joy to have been surrounded by so many people that I love.”
Keke Palmer
Keke Palmer’s baby shower with little Leodis “Leo” Andrellton was something out of a fairytale! The Nope star had a “Once Upon a Time” theme at her Feb. 2023 shower.
“Right now, I feel like I’m living in a fairy tale!” Palmer told PEOPLE about her choice for the shower. “I’m a huge Disney fan because of how aspirational and sweet their stories are. I want to create a world like that for my baby, a world in which all things are possible.”
There was a lavish throne at the shower, surrounded by candles, balloons, and flowers.
“My favorite thing about the shower was having my family there,” Palmer shared about her shower that she hosted along with diaper brand Coterie. “I also loved the decorations, WhamBam did such a great job, and the food was fabulous, thanks to Melba’s in Harlem.”
Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan had a low-key baby shower in April 2023, when she was pregnant with baby Luai. She shared pictures of the occasion on her Instagram stories, where she posed with mom Dina Lohan and sister Ali Lohan. The outside tables were decorated with white flowers, an off-white cake, and cute spring pieces.
“What a beautiful baby shower we gave my sweet angel Lindsay this weekend, surrounded by family and friends, filled with the utmost joy and love,” Dina told Entertainment Tonight about the event.
Kourtney Kardashian
Kourtney Kardashian had a magical baby shower for baby Rocky in September 2023, her first child with husband Travis Barker and their seventh kid between them. The shower was Disneyland-themed, with a quartet, custom Mickey Mouse ears, balloons, a sign that spelled “Baby Barker” in flags like the one at Disneyland, and tons of Mickey-themed snacks. There was also an apple tree from Snow White for guests to leave well-wishes for the baby, and a Stoney Clover Lane pop-up with Mickey-themed purses. It was the Happiest Baby Shower on Earth!
Ireland Baldwin
Ireland Baldwin decided to skip the weird baby shower games and awkward small talk of traditional showers when it came time to celebrate her baby Holland, who she shares with RAC.
On a May 2023 episode of High Low with EmRata, the model explained, “I hate attention. I hate sitting in a circle and opening presents, and talking to a bunch of people just didn’t seem ideal. So, I thought, why not a strip club where everyone would be rather distracted?”
A strip-club baby shower? Now that sounds amazing!
Karlie Kloss
When Karlie Kloss was expecting Elijah Jude, her second baby with husband Joshua Kushner, she had a drag brunch baby shower! The model shared a clip of a drag queen dancing via her Instagram story in July 2023, per Us Weekly, writing, “baby shower brunch with my besties.” At one point, she filmed a drag queen doing an impressive death drop! That’s an adrenaline rush for you.
Serena Williams
Serena Williams had a combo baby shower/sex reveal party when she was pregnant with baby Adira in July 2023. Williams wore all pink to the party, telling fans in a video: “We are going to the baby shower/gender reveal, so obviously I’m Team Pink. But I’m nervous because I don’t have any contingency plan if it turns out to be a boy.”
The party was filled with rainbow balloons that spelled “Our Next Great Adventure,” rainbow lawn blankets, food trucks, and a splash village for Williams’ and her husband Alexis Ohanian’s 6-year-old daughter Olympia and the other kids.
Later, drones lit up the sky spelling “It’s a Girl.”
Kaley Cuoco
Rewind to the beginning of the year, and Kaley Cuoco kicked off her baby shower with a bang! She and partner Tom Pelphrey had a dazzling January party in an open tent strung with fairly lights and 400 lit up drones that spelled “Baby Girl Pelphrey 2023” at one point. Talk about glamorous!
