For her first outing after the birth of her daughter Eloise, Sofia Richie of course provided a sartorial masterclass with her chosen outfit.
The 25-year-old fashion muse and daughter of Lionel Richie hosted the chicest baby shower to celebrate her firstborn, who arrived on May 20th, complete with baby Dior crockery, a patisserie station, personalised t-shirts and more.
The icing on the cake, however, was Sofia's sophisticated Valentino dress that effortlessly balanced elegance and comfort - perfect for the postpartum period.

The soft, mauve colourway and garden-themed embroidery adorning the piece made it picture-perfect for her outdoor shower, whilst the gold 'V' symbol underneath the neckline provided an added touch of luxury.

"Just in time for the sizzling hot summer days, there’s an old-school wardrobe classic which is having one hell of a revival, and they’re set to be this season's most notable ensemble," says Hello! Fashion's Orion Scott, "Although we might not be sporting them on the red carpet like Elle Fanning at Cannes Film Festival, we can don them to the beach, the bakery, the backyard BBQ and brunch with the girls - we love a versatile wardrobe statement."
