At Dolce & Gabbana 's Milan Fashion Week show this afternoon , it was n't just the clothes that turned heads on the catwalk . In a tribute to mothers and motherhood , each model carried a baby down the runway , with some expertly holding their precious cargo and others struggling to come to grips with the little ones . The backdrop , a white panel adorned with a red rose and the word 'mamma ' in script , completed the theme of the show , which was fittingly called 'Viva la Mamma ' . Scroll down for video . At Dolce & Gabbana 's Milan Fashion Week show this afternoon , models walked the catwalk while carrying babies in a tribute to motherhood . Pregnant Italian model Bianca Balti ( left ) strutted her stuff in the label 's latest designs . Another model ( right ) kept her precious cargo close . The tiny fashionistas , who were all decked out in lace dresses and mini suits , ranged in age from just a few months to a few years old . While most of the babies were apparently unrelated to the models , pregnant supermodel Bianca Balti , 30 , showcased her very own baby bump on the runway , looking positively glowing in a powder pink sheath dress and black heels . According to guests , the youngsters on the runway were extremely well-behaved , but a few pictures from the show tell something of a different story . In one image , for instance , a model clad in a black and red floral ensemble smiles brightly as she carries her adorable accessory - but the baby looks thoroughly nonplussed . The backdrop , a white panel adorned with a red rose and the word 'mamma ' in script , completed the theme of the show , which was fittingly called 'Viva la Mamma ' According to spectators , the youngsters on the runway were comfortable and extremely well-behaved - but some of the pictures from the show tell something of a different story . A model is seen holding her precious cargo as she showcases looks from Dolce & Gabbana's autumn/winter 2015 collection . Another shot sees a model carrying her baby so that she faces forward , toward the audience , a position that does not seem to sit well with the blue-eyed little girl . Even the designs were in keeping with the theme , with evening gowns embroidered with children 's doodles and other designs emblazoned with the words 'Je t'aime maman ' and 'Mamma ' . Mothering day is n't officially celebrated in Italy until May , a full two months after the UK 's version of the holiday , but it clearly played an important part in the tone of the show .
