Shay Mitchell channels Rachel McAdams in viral breastfeeding photo

New mama Shay Mitchell is the latest celeb to prove that breastfeeding can be so glam.

Eleven months after Rachel McAdams’ viral breast pumping photo from her Girls Girls Girls shoot, Michell posted her own a gorgeous portrait she captioned “Breast friends.”

The pun is intended and Shay obviously intends to normalize breastfeeding.

Shay isn’t the only celeb to follow in McAdam’s footsteps.

Earlier this year Hilary Duff posted an Instagram shot comparing her own pumping moment to McAdams’. In the black and white photo she’s seen using a manual breast pump while wearing a parka and a disposable plastic hair cap (it looks like she’s getting her hair done).

With plastic wrap on her head and a towel draped over her shoulders she looks a lot less glam than McAdams did in diamonds and Versace, but that’s kind of the point.

“Am I doing this right?” Duff captioned a comparison of the shots.

Yes, mama. You’re doing this right.

Whether you’ve got a Willow tucked into your ball gown like Nicole Phelps did, or are going hands-free with a double electric pump like McAdams, or are nursing in a Target dressing room like Jessica Alba did, or are feeding your baby a bottle full of formula (Alba did that, too), you’re doing this right.

We don’t all look like movie stars when we’re living this mom life, but Duff reminds us that movie stars don’t always look like that either.

Sometimes, they (and we) look like multitasking mamas, and it’s okay to laugh about it together.
