Beyoncé, unable to make it to Kim Kardashian's baby shower, is said to have sent a crystal-studded high chair instead.

An insider said: "Beyoncé and Jay-Z's gift could not be outdone, a £9,000 Swarovski crystal-studded high chair, designed by Carla Monchen. They had a similar one for their daughter Blue Ivy."

Another big name who didn't make it to the party was Gwyneth Paltrow, who gave a more practical - but much less extravagant - gift.

The source told the Sunday Mirror: "Both Gwyneth and Beyoncé politely decline Kim's offer of attending her baby shower.

"Beyoncé is busy touring and Gwyneth doesn't really know Kim that well. They met at a fitness event just the month before and share the same trainer.

"Instead, Gwyneth sent Kim a £350 Vitamix blender and a 21-day cleanse that will help her bounce back into shape after the birth."

Despite the high-profile snubs, Kim still enjoyed the company of the likes of Kelly Osbourne and Kimberley Stewart at the baby shower.
