Leave it to the Alba-Warrens to make Mother’s Day a stylish affair.

On Sunday, the family of four, along with Jessica Alba‘s mom Catherine, stepped out for a celebratory lunch at the Bel Air Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. And everyone looked so chic.

Alba paired a belted Ella Moss Stella Racer Back Dress in khaki ($268) with silver platform sandals, while husband Cash Warren wore a black and white gingham short sleeve shirt with cream trousers and black boat loafers.

To complement mommy and daddy’s spring-worthy attire, Honor, 4½, and Haven, 18 months, both donned pastel-colored party frocks with metallic ballet flats. Honor even brought along a few doll pals.

Lindsay Louise Woolf

“We all know flowers, cards and candy are a welcome sight on Mother’s Day,” says new mom Lisa Osbourne, here with 1-year-old daughter Pearl.

“However, I think any mom would appreciate something she can really use consistently or something she would love but wouldn’t buy for herself rather than something that has to be eaten or thrown away.”

Someone has pink on the brain! Well, maybe peach, but close enough.

Mom-to-be Busy Philipps, who is expecting another girl in June, stepped out in Isabella Oliver‘s Una Maternity Summer Dress ($169), a neon yellow handbag and brown leather sandals with white piping to attend the Huggies & Baby2Baby Mother’s Day garden party on April 27.

Now that Jenna Dewan-Tatum is expecting her first child, she’s learning first hand all the products moms-to-be and new moms need to have a successful pregnancy and breastfeeding experience.

That’s why the actress has partnered with nursing apparel manufacturer Bravado! Designs to donate $214,000 worth of nursing bras to Jessica Seinfeld‘s non-profit organization Baby Buggy, which is dedicated to providing families in need with products, clothing and educational services for their infants and children.

“I am lucky to have the essential gear, not to mention the support of my husband, family and friends as I begin my motherhood and breastfeeding journey, I realize not all new moms are as fortunate,” says Dewan-Tatum.

Ivanka, Kim and Jaime Get Punky at Met Gala

05/07/2013 at 11:00 AM ET

The theme of Monday evening’s Met Gala was Punk: From Chaos to Couture — and these mamas-to-be certainly delivered with their own takes on the dress code.

First up: Ivanka Trump, who’s expecting her second child this fall. The businesswoman stuck to classic colorblocking for her outfit, pairing a skirt and blouse by Juan Carlos Obando, but it was her accessories that really stood out. Trump, 31, layered items from her own fine jewelry line with studded necklaces and a bracelet by Aurélie Biderman, plus a cuff by Tom Binns. She topped off her look with a few bold hair extensions and a python clutch by Nancy Gonzalez.

Next we have Kim Kardashian, who wrapped her bump in a custom Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci floral gown with grommet hardware at the sleeves, a turtleneck and a high slit. The reality star, 32, who’s expecting her first child in July, finished her patterned look with attached gloves, matching heels and a berry lip.

Finally we have Jaime King, who just announced her pregnancy on Friday. The Hart of Dixie star, 34, layered a lace top under a Topshop tuxedo for her baby bump debut. With jewelry by Jennifer Fisher, Bulgari and DANNIJO, plus heels by Jimmy Choo, King’s studded crown was our favorite part of the look — perfectly punk.

We love how Jennifer Garner lets her daughters dress themselves.

Case in point: the ensemble (check out her pink bag and polka dot sandals!) Violet wore April 8 while shopping with her mom in Brentwood, Calif. is not only cute, but completely age-appropriate.

We especially like how she paired a sporty purple sweatshirt with a sweet yellow dress ($44) from Mini Boden.

It seems like the 7-year-old is really having fun with her personal style. And we can’t wait to see what else she comes up with.

Mom Said It

"I had to make a decision that I could sleep with every night. I did feel responsible for the young girls who I probably confused and let down. I apologize for that. But I wasn't trying to glamorize teen pregnancy."
