Kim Basinger stepped outside her comfort zone on Monday to attend her daughter, Ireland Baldwin's baby shower in Los Angeles. 

The 8-Mile star - who suffers with anxiety disorder agoraphobia - wowed with her youthful appearance as she was snapped at the star-studded affair.

Rather than picking a wholesome country club to celebrate the imminent arrival of her baby, Ireland threw a wild bash at strip club, Jumbo's Clown Room.

Also in attendance were Rumer Willis, Hilary Duff and Sailor Brinkley-Cook too. 

Kim was accompanied by her longtime hairstylist Mitch Stone and appeared to be in good spirits on arrival.

Fans praised Kim for being a good sport and wrote: "Your mom is rad. Mine would never," and, "great to see you having such fun".

Kim - who shares Ireland with her ex-husband, Alec Baldwin - revealed the sex of Ireland's first child, just days after her daughter announced that she was expecting with her musician boyfriend RAC.

Unable to contain her glee over becoming a grandmother, Kim uploaded her own sonogram photo in January from her pregnancy with Ireland 27 years ago, before sharing that her daughter is expecting a baby girl.

Alongside the sonograms, she wrote: "Like mother, like daughter…. and a new baby girl coming our way. So looking forward to meeting this little Snoopy in June…"

Ireland also shared the name of her unborn child, revealing she'll be called, Holland.

During an interview on the GirlBoss Radio podcast, she said: "We're naming her Holland. I'm Ireland, so another country because we wanted to keep that consistent,' she explained.

"And then I love the actress Holland Taylor. I've always loved that name since I was young, I just thought that was such a classy, beautiful name, so we're going with Holland."
