Brad Pitt Is Mr. Mom!

While locals in Oyster Bay on the North Shore of Long Island are known for their posh yet casual style, ever since the Hollywood A-lister started picking up his kids at school, local moms have ditched their flats and no makeup look for chic heels and lipstick.

"They are off the charts excited and everyone is dolled up, " one local says. "The moms are trying to look a little bit more polished. Instead of schlepping in sweat pants and messy hair, now they wear designer jeans and high heels, which they never wear. Usually it's Tod's or Gucci loafers. Everyone is putting a little more effort. Let's face it – he's a handsome guy."

Pitt, who has set up a base in the town with Angelina Jolie and the couple's children, is embracing his role as Mr. Mom while Jolie spends time filming her new movie, Salt. Pitt's daddy duties include dropping the kids off at school and even reading books to the children in daughter Shiloh's class..

"At school, they think they are going to bump into him," says the local. "Brad sits in the back of the classroom a lot. He is very unassuming and very sweet and nice." Locals love the fact that Pitt, Jolie and the kids are often spotted at the Stop & Shop and Dunkin' Donuts. "Who would think they would see them grocery shopping, and not sending out the help?" says a source. "They are trying to teach their kids what's normal ... And they are always in the pizza parlor and Borders Books."
