Carla Bruni performs in GapKids designer jacket

When Stella McCartney launched her designer clothing range for GapKids recently, I was green with envy that I wouldn’t be able to fit into any of it. Plus I don’t have any kids to dress up in the cute little clothes.

The collection is adorable. I love the boys’ military-style jacket and the girls’ pink tutu skirt in particular.

However, it seems some other women in the fashion world are of the same opinion and have been spotted squeezing into the kids’ range!

Carla Bruni, fashion icon and wife of French president Nicolas Sarkozy, performed her new single on French television this week (November 23rd) sporting a black designer jacket from the children’s line.

Lauren Milligan at Vogue thinks that the choice of clothing was perhaps in tribute to Paul McCartney (Stella’s father) as she and Harry Connick Junior performed a duet of the Beatles’ song And I Love Her, which was written by Sir Paul.

She is not alone though it seems as writing in a blog for Vogue, model Laura Bailey not only kitted out her two young children in t-shirts, fleeces and dresses from the line, but also herself - in a girls’ pink mac (age 12-13).

Have you ever been tempted to shop in the kids’ collections?
