Beauty and the bump! Pregnant Kristin Cavallari is a stand-out star in glamorous gown at her Hollywood baby shower

As the star of two MTV reality shows, Kristin Cavallari has been known for her love of the limelight.

And with a little on the way all focus has been on her burgeoning baby bump as she prepares to have her first baby with Chicago Bears star fiancé, Jay Cutler.

But the 25-year-old mother-to-be had the right idea today as she donned a glamorous gown to her baby shower in Hollywood today, stealing the spotlight back from her burgeoning belly.

The blonde stepped out to the event held inside a luxurious house in Los Angeles, wearing a gorgeous black gown with an asymmetric hemline.

Her gold beaded neck area coordinated with her oversize clutch bag and jewellery but she toned down her chic look but tying her hair back into a loose ponytail.

Aside from red nails and a pink pout the reality TV star kept her beauty routine basic with a fresh-faced look.

While many pregnant stars battle to walk with their large tummy in towering heels, she embraced California style in her more practical flat sandal footwear.

Before heading out she tweeted a snap of her outfit and cradled her belly asking fans: 'Off to my baby shower. U guys like my dress?'

Kristin was beaming as she entered the location where her famous friends Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt and Stephanie Pratt were also in attendance.

Her co-stars were significantly dressed more casually than the soon-to-be parent who looked like she and her son were about to be seriously spoiled.

Guests could be seen laden with bags, balloons and baskets as they unloaded their car trunks with plenty of gifts.

But the treats were handed out the other way around to approximately 30 friends too at the celebration where Petals L.A. provided the flowers.

Apparently attendees were treated to cupcakes and a three-tier sponge cake by Pink Salt Event Cuisine, in addition to being served cocktails.

A source told Us Weekly: ‘It was like a fun party. Kristin was glowing and gorgeous. She looked so happy! Guys were there, too. It was co-ed.’
