And the Winner Is ...

Hollywood moms went crazy for baby goods from this local company

The writers’ strike may have deflated the spectacle that was the Golden Globes, but it sure didn’t stop celebs from scoring their beloved pre-award show swag. Last week, at the "Pre-Golden Globes Baby and Big Kid Style Villa’s Boom Boom Room," red carpet moms and moms-to-be snagged kiddie gear from Chester County-based L’il Darlins. Probably because their assortment of goods— like bibs, towels and aprons— marry form with function; made from durable fabrics, they can hold up to intense wear and spills, but are still funky and fun.

So who got what? Tori Spelling went gaga over the signature Bib-A-Roo, a full-body bib that repels strained peas, carrots and whatever else a silver spoon may fling. Denise Richards snatched two of their Apron-All cover-ups, so her daughters can tote their art and cooking supplies everywhere they go. And The Office star Angela Kinsey fawned over the skull-print bib (don’t expect to find any “Grandma Loves Me” items here). But perhaps the best part about L’il Darlins is that the star-worthy trend comes at an OshKosh price.
