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.’”

Estela certainly does have good manners. I was recently on a flight with them and when everyone was leaving the plane, she was saying, “Excuse me, sir/ma’am”. She’s such a little cutie pie!

She is one of the most beautiful little girls!!! Congrats to Ali. I”m so glad that she’s got such a great family now

I usually find the way she dresses Estela to be a little hokey but, she looks really sweet here. It seems like she’s raising her to be a very charming polite little girl! Plus, they look just alike!

estela is insanely beautiful-

I think she looks like her dad. either way…she’s a pretty little girl.

I think Estella always looks cute-but the giant bow all the time is a bit too much. She looks like a beautiful doll not an actual child who can get dirty and play. I just keep thinking about a Shirley Temple doll from the 1930′s.

Estela is a beautiful girl! I completely adore her!

- Jaedyn on June 1st, 2010

She’s cute! Although I don’t see Ali in her at all…she looks like a real-life doll

- Dana on June 1st, 2010

Tippy – The big bows are very Southern, so with Ali being from Louisiana it makes sense that she adorns her daughter in them. I think they’re adorable!

- Alisa on June 1st, 2010

I love when kids are polite. I love that my kids respond to things adults say with ‘yes ma’am no ma’am, yes sir no sir.’ Estela is GORGEOUS.

I’m an adult who wears sundresses almost every day in the summer (including when I walk my dog in the park) and I have no problems with getting them dirty. I plan to dress my little girls in dresses (until they make me stop and unless it’s the pre-photo part of a special event, I won’t get annoyed if they get their clothes dirty.

Perhaps Ali is the same way? If all Estela wears are dresses, why assume they’re so special they can’t be soiled?

- Xan on June 1st, 2010

Xan- I’m pretty sure Ali is indeed the same way. I remember her mentioning in an interview once that Estela DOES play and get dirty, depsite wearing dresses!

- CelebBabyLover on June 2nd, 2010

What a lovely picture! I have never understodd the little girls can’t get dirty in dresses argument, off course they can! They can also play ball and climb trees and bike and do anything else they can do dressed otherwise(provided the dress is not to long or wide) it’s adults that claim you can’t do it, and do you know what, adults are not always right! A cotton summer fress is not harder to wash than a pair of shorts and a t-shirt; You tuck them in the washer, You shake them out and You hang them on the line.

Just because Ali happens to be photographed with her daughter wearing nice clothes most of the time, it doesn’t mean Estela doesn’t have casual wear. We just don’t see those moments. Ali’s from Louisiana, and her taste in children’s clothes is a reflection of her culture and upbringing. It may not represent what every mom wants, but she definitely caters to a niche who appreciate this kind of style.
