Make Page Six a Preferred Source Avril Lavigne confirmed on Instagram Friday that she secretly welcomed her first child, a baby girl. Instagram/ Avril Lavigne Avril Lavigne’s little one is already (quite literally) following in her footsteps.
The pop-punk star announced the birth of her first child on Instagram today, sharing a snap of three pairs of Vans’ classic checkered sneakers — including an itty-bitty infant-sized version — on a skateboard.
“Our Mini F—ing Princess has arrived,” Lavigne captioned the photo carousel, which also included a black-and-white photo of her and a mystery man holding their newborn daughter’s hand.
She shared a snap of matching Vans for her family of three. Instagram/ Avril Lavigne According to the Vans site, 208 people “recently purchased” a pair of the adorable baby shoes — but that number’s likely to go up fast following the “Girlfriend” singer’s post.
It’s fitting that the mini Sk8er Girl is already starting her Vans collection, as Lavigne has been wearing the slip-on shoes for years.
Lavigne (pictured in 2004) has been wearing the checkerboard style for years. FilmMagic She frequently stepped out in the same black-and-white pair throughout the early 2000s, often pairing them with her signature plaid shorts and studded belts.
In addition to the top-selling black-and-white option Lavigne chose, they also come in a range of solid colors — plus several other checkerboard shades. (And for slightly older kids, the brand offers sizes for toddlers, too)
Her love for the kicks is hardly complicated; they’re edgy yet comfy, and so easy to slip on quickly. (Plus, they get glowing reviews.)
And with Y2K fashion coming back in a big way, there’s never been a better time for a little fashion flashback.
