Hilaria Baldwin's Heeled Yoga Divides Internet: Sexy Workout or Footwear Faux Pas?

Alec Baldwin's second wife Hilaria brought back her 'sexy' yoga tutorials in full force last Friday

BUTT KICKING MOM: Alec Baldwin's Wife Hilaria Rocks Red Heels in Yoga Tutorial, but Fans aren't Buying It

It looks like Hilaria Baldwin is back at it again! The 41-year-old mom of seven, who has been making headlines for her questionable yoga tutorials and Spanish scandal, has just released a new video showcasing her signature "sexy" moves. This time, she donned a pair of sparkly red pumps to demonstrate the moving bridge yoga pose, which she's renamed the "glute bridge." But not everyone is impressed with her fashion choices.

The Boston-born culture vulture, who co-owned the yoga studio chain Yoga Vida in New York City before it went dark in 2023, instructed her 1 million social media followers to "lay on back, knees bent, feet hips distance" and press into their feet to lift their hips up and down. Sounds simple enough, right? But what really caught everyone's attention was the addition of heels. Yes, you read that right - Hilaria Baldwin wore high heels while doing yoga.

The comments section quickly filled with reactions ranging from shock to disgust. User @debbiemerle commented, "You look strange wearing [heels] to do this." Meanwhile, Instagram user @sunisinmyeyes agreed, stating, "This is weird." But not everyone was opposed to Hilaria's unconventional choice of footwear. Instagram user @carolynkhartman joked, "Absolutely heels," implying that without them, the pose wouldn't be as effective.

But what really took the cake was when user @biancahull.s quoted Glinda the Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz: "'You always had the power my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself.'" It seemed like a nod to Hilaria's own controversy surrounding her claimed ADHD and dyslexia. But fans weren't having it.

As for Hilaria's personal life, she and Alec will be celebrating a milestone anniversary - their 13th wedding anniversary on June 30. Just days before, they'll be marking the 10th birthday of their son Rafael. The couple has seven kids between them, and two nannies help care for them.

Hilaria (born Hillary Lynn Hayward-Thomas) instructed her 1M social media followers: 'Lay on back, knees bent, feet hips distance. Press into feet and lift hips up and lower them down. Three sets of 10! Heels optional OBVIOUSLY!'

Speaking of Alec Baldwin, he's been keeping busy with various projects. He'll be serving as a member on the short film jury at the Filming Italy Sardegna festival in June, which runs from June 19-22 on the island of Sardinia. But it looks like his hosting gig has come to an end - ABC announced they're replacing him with Martin Short as executive producer and host of their Match Game revival.

In a move that's been making headlines for months now, Alec's film Rust only earned $26,831 at the box office in April. All the profits will be donated to Halyna Hutchins' widower Matthew Hutchins and their 12-year-old son Andros. The film was marred by controversy after Hutchins, a 42-year-old cinematographer, was killed on set.

And if you thought that was enough drama for one year, Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial was dismissed in July last year after he denied ever pulling the trigger on the revolver that fired the fatal shot. But it doesn't end there - he filed a civil lawsuit against the Rust case prosecutors, investigators, and commissioners for defamation and malicious prosecution.

Baldwin clearly divided Instagram with user @debbiemerle commenting: 'You look strange wearing [heels] to do this'

It seems like Hilaria and Alec are ready to put all the drama behind them and focus on their family. After all, as Alec told the Associated Press last month, "I've worried about work for 40 years, and I don't want to think about it for a couple of months." Sounds like they're looking forward to some quality time with each other this summer.

Instagram user @mbk1979 wondered about the Wizard of Oz-inspired footwear: 'What in the [Dorothy] is happening?'

'The shoessssss!' Instagram user @biancahull.s wrote before quoting Glinda the Good Witch. '
