Inside Lily Collins’ Picture-Perfect First Easter with Baby Tove
Oh, fantastic—yet another celebrity holiday highlight reel to swell your Instagram feed—courtesy of Lily Collins and her infant daughter, Tove. Look, I don’t want to be the one to say it, but here we are: Lily Collins, the actress best known for Emily in Paris, just treated her followers to a peek at her first Easter as a mom, and yes, it’s as saccharine as you feared. On Easter Sunday, April 9, Collins posted a carousel of carefully curated snapshots and a sweet video clip of baby Tove sporting pint-sized bunny ears and a pastel onesie. Naturally, the backdrop was awash in blush tones, artfully dyed eggs, and mini marshmallow peeps—because nothing screams “real life” like color-coded sweets.
According to People Magazine, in one especially Instagrammable moment, Collins cradles little Tove close to a wicker basket overflowing with speckled eggs, captioning the photo “Our little Easter bunny.” If you’re wondering whether the hashtag game was strong—of course it was. Dotdash Meredith confirms that Lily’s husband, director Charlie McDowell, made a cameo hold, flashing a proud-parent grin that screams “my kid is cuter than yours.” And yes, they planned the shot down to the last faux grass tuft. I told you so.
But wait—it gets more wholesome. Lily also included a brief reel of Tove’s gummy-cooing reaction to a pastel-peep taste test. The caption teased that Tove’s first sugar rush is on her Instagram debut list, but Collins insisted they’ll keep the sweets in check—presumably until the toddler years kick in. Mom-of-the-year vibes, right? The post even name‑drops “all-natural vegetable dye” on those eggs, because heaven forbid any suspicious chemicals cross the Easter table.
Before you roll your eyes again, note that Collins’ followers ate it up: the People report notes her post has hundreds of thousands of likes and comments calling baby Tove “adorbs” and “the fluffiest bunny ever.” E! Online chimed in with fan theories about Tove’s future fashion sense—because obviously, we needed that. Meanwhile, Collins’ own mom, landscape designer Jill Tavelman, chimed into the comments with clapping emojis. Talk about family branding synergy.
There you have it: pastel perfection, brag-worthy captions, and the kind of staged joy only Hollywood can muster. Did anyone expect a different outcome? No? Thought so. And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
