Kim Basinger, 69, looks UNRECOGNIZABLE as she emerges from daughter Ireland Baldwin’s strip club baby shower in Hollywood
Kim Basinger was unrecognizable when she was spotted with a muted makeup complexion, emerging from her daughter Ireland Baldwin’s baby shower on Monday.
Thrown at the Hollywood strip club Jumbo’s Clown Room, the star-studded affair welcomed such names as Sailor Brinkley-Cook, Hilary Duff and Rumer Willis.
Ireland’s 69-year-old mother glowed with happiness as she left the party, trailing behind her longtime hairstylist boyfriend Mitch Stone.
The beano rolled along without Ireland’s father Alec Baldwin, 64, or his current wife Hilaria, 39, with whom he has seven children.
For her latest outing Kim went for business casual in a silver trouser suit over an elegant black blouse that matched her shoes.

Ireland posted a string of festive Instagram pictures from the party, including a couple of her cuddling up to Kim over the cake.
The mother-to-be is expecting her firstborn child by her boyfriend RAC, whose real name is André Allen Anjos.
Kim shot to fame as a Bond girl in 1983 via Never Say Never Again and enjoyed a long heyday through the following two decades.
At the height of her stardom, her films included the 1986 erotic drama 9½ Weeks and the 1997 neo-noir classic LA Confidential, which netted her an Oscar.
She and Mitch were friends for 20 years before they struck up their romance in 2014, a development she called ‘a beautiful surprise’ in Tbilisi’s Georgian Journal.
Kim met Alec on the set of their 1991 romantic comedy The Marrying Man, and two years later they went down the aisle before welcoming Ireland in 1995.
However by 2000 the marriage went up in flames, resulting in a divorce that was finalized in 2002 and a rancorous years-long custody battle.
When the couple first separated, Kim’s father Don Basinger told People magazine that Alec’s temper was to blame for the split.

‘Alec has this anger where he reaches down for something that hurts, something that may have happened a year or two ago, and then abuses Kim with it,’ claimed Don.
‘But it’s when it started happening in front of Ireland that Kim finally said: “Well, I’m not going to put up with that!”‘
In 2007 when Ireland was only 11, Alec left her a scathing voicemail in which he branded her a ‘rude, thoughtless little pig’ after she missed a phone call from him that she had known was coming.
Ultimately the court decided on joint custody, ending a protracted dogfight that unfolded in the headlines and racked up $3 million in legal fees.
Ireland is now able to laugh about the voicemail and even Kim remarked last year on Red Table Talk that she and Alec are ‘all fine and we all get along, whatever.’
However she also called Alec ‘a challenge’ and alleged he was not ’emotionally or mentally available’ for difficult conversations about Ireland’s anxiety.
Kim suffers from agoraphobia, which at one point became so severe she was unable to drive for ‘almost six, seven months,’ she said on Red Table Talk.
Alec is now facing down an involuntary manslaughter charge after he accidentally killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins with a prop gun on the set of the film Rust.
