“Fantastic” mom-to-be, Jessica Alba, 27, welcomed guests to her baby shower at the Ever After Teahouse in Studio City on Sunday. The shower took place outside, under white umbrellas. Lavender and white dominated the decor, and the soundtrack was definitely on the mellow side, featuring Buena Vista Social Club, Sade and light jazz. About 35 people made it through a gauntlet of paparazzi to get to the party, including Rashida Jones, Jaime King and Kim Kardashian, E! News reported.
The menu included white wine, lemonade, iced tea and coffee and an assortment of ice cream drinks; skewers of tiger shrimp and soft-pulled chicken; and for dessert, white and dark chocolate-dipped strawberries, mini doughnut varietals, mini custard tarts and mini eclairs.
Guests began trickling in at 1 p.m., and Alba made her entrance at exactly 1:30, wearing a long black dress and black glasses, with her hair down. At 1:45 p.m., Alba began unwrapping a stack of presents, including high-end strollers and cradles, and baskets full of Dr. Seuss books, rattles and clothes. There was a giant white stuffed bunny and lots of flower bouquets. Baby daddy Cash Warren arrived about an hour and a half after the party started
Many of the clothes were a gender-neutral yellow or green; however, Alba told guests she was expecting a girl in June.
The camera-ready couple first met in the fall of 2004 on the Fantastic Four set, where Warren worked as the director’s assistant.
