Beyonce sent Kim Kardashian a £9,000 baby shower gift.

The 'Love On Top' hitmaker and her husband Jay-Z couldn't attend the event but were reportedly able to make it up to the reality TV star with a "crystal-studded high chair".

A source revealed to the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "Beyonce 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 go to the baby shower was Gwyneth Paltrow, who gave a more practical - but much less extravagant - gift.

The insider added: "Both Gwyneth and Beyonce politely decline Kim's offer of attending her baby shower.

"Beyonce 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 Tracy Anderson.

"Instead, Gwyneth sent six-months-pregnant 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.
