Fashion designer Michelle Smith showcased her spring collection for Milly Minis this week with a runway show full of pint-sized fashions—and fashionistas!
The youngsters strutted the pseudo-catwalk at the brand’s Upper East Side boutique. The designer teamed up with the cast from Broadway’s hit musical Annie for the line’s first-ever fashion show.
Smith told us that she has always loved Annie. “It just seemed like a great synergy for the launch of my Milly Minis collection to do something with the cast of Annie! I remember when it first came out when I was a child. I still have the original cast album!”
When asked what A-list baby she would love to style, she told us “It’s got to be Kate Middleton’s baby. I’m so excited! I can’t wait to see if she’s going to have a boy or a girl.”

Tyrah Skye Odoms (Kate), an 8-year-old Beyonce fan, chose this outfit because she loves swimsuits and the beach:
