So sweet!

Ali Landry and daughter Estela Ines pose for a photo as they head into the Rob Dyrdek Foundation’s SK84Life Benefit, held last Saturday at the skater’s Fantasy Factory in Los Angeles, Calif.

Estela, 2½, is the only child for Landry and husband Alejandro Monteverde.

Good manners are important to the actress and model, who was raised in Louisiana.

“I like to make sure she says, ‘Please,’ and ‘Thank you,’ Landry, 36, explains. “And, ‘Yes, Ma’am.’”

In the world of kids’ footwear, it feels like new designers are popping up every second. But some companies, like celeb fave Livie and Luca, are here to stay.

These easy-to-slip-on, eco-friendly shoes — which count Courteney Cox-Arquette and Brooke Shields as fans — are made from soft recycled leather and non-benzene glue. Even the super flexible soles get in on the green-action: Each bottom is printed with, “think sustainably, recycle your shoes”.

This season’s folk-inpsired styles feature bold color combinations and whimsical designs (flowers, apples, elephants). Our favorites are the bright Bloom sandals (above) for girls and the classic Barcelona sandal for boys. All shoes are $45.50 and are available in sizes ranging from 4 to 13.

Check out the full collection at LivieandLuca.com.

Parents’ night out!

Enjoying a date night before their third child — a boy! — arrives in early August, Rebecca Herbst and husband Michael Saucedo were spotted at Heidi Klum’s Moms to Be Night Out, held Wednesday at A Pea in the Pod in Beverly Hills, Calif.

“The kids went with us when I had the ultrasound done, so we were all told at the same time!” she shares. “Ethan’s thrilled, Ella will be … eventually.”
