Hailee Steinfeld shared an insight into her pre-parenthood life after skipping the Oscars, where her film Sinners was nominated in many categories and won.
The 29-year-old actress chronicled the current status of her and husband Josh Allen’s preparations to welcome their first child in the latest update through her newsletter Beau Society.
The Dickinson star revealed that her mother Cheri Steinfeld planned a baby shower for the mom-to-be, inviting all of her closest friends to Hailee’s “most comfortable place — her backyard.”
Hailee noted that there was “no baby shower theme per se, but a subtle nursery rhyme thread was woven throughout the decor,” adding that nursery books were scattered throughout.
“Everyone brought a book, so this baby is building quite a library,” read the newsletter, which was published on Tuesday, March 17.
The Love myself hitmaker also shared that in a very “full-circle moment,” her mom had set up a knitting station where guests could make personalized gifts for the little one. It was a full-circle moment because Hailee’s mother taught her to knit when she was working on her first film.
The baby shower activity “reopened a fun hobby” for the mom-to-be.
While Hailee has been busy with the baby shower, her resounding absence from the Oscars this weekend was felt as Sinners won the awards.
Her Sinners cost Michael B. Jordan, who won Best Actor, thanked Hailee in his acceptance speech and told the audience that she missed the ceremony because she is preparing to welcome her baby.
