She is due to give birth in February, but fashionable Lauren Silverman isn't ready to swap her studded stilettos for flat shoes just yet.

The mother-to-be was spotted with Simon Cowell on Saturday as the couple went shopping at Barneys in Beverly Hills.

Lauren, 36, appeared to be handling her second pregnancy with ease as she strode into the department store with her large baby bump leading the way and loyal Cowell behind her.

Wearing a white buttoned shirt and black trousers, the New York socialite - who already has an eight-year-old son from her former marriage - calmly made her way up the stone steps in the sparkling strappy sandals.

The American Idol judge wore his usual uniform of a black jumper and jeans as he carried a packet of menthol cigarettes and his mobile phone in his hand.

The plain outfit was a refreshing return to form after Simon wore a half unbuttoned shirt to dinner at Boa Steakhouse the night before, which showed a huge expanse of hairy chest.

After taking a limo on Friday night, the millionaire TV star drove his black convertible Bentley for Saturday afternoon's outing in Beverly Hills.

The couple were no doubt shopping for essentials before welcoming their son in February, and Cowell is more than ready for the total life change.

Speaking to Weekend magazine this month, he admitted that learning of Lauren’s pregnancy was 'like coming out of a fog' that made him feel low and lethargic.

'I'm having a baby and I never thought I would. And it totally changed everything,’ he said. 'It was like coming out of a fog; that’s the only way I can describe it. I thought, “Stop feeling sorry for yourself, you’ve got nothing to feel bad about.”

'It just makes you feel like you’ve got a responsibility. I definitely feel better.'

The reality TV guru is calm when he is with the love of his life, but he proved this week that his old confrontational side is still there when he branded Russell Brand a 'hypocrite' after he accused the comedian of accepting large Hollywood film salaries whilst campaigning against the UK political system.

According to The Mirror, music mogul Simon has told Russell to give up his multi-million pound salary if he is planning to continue his campaigning streak.

The-38-old Essex boy recently joined up with British activist group Anonymous as part of a global protest against austerity cuts and the disadvantages of the current economic system.
