Paris Fashion Week’s must-have accessory this season? A famous parent
Paris Fashion Week was one big family reunion.
Famous offspring filled the spring/summer 2027 shows, with some claiming their space on the catwalk and others snagging front-row seats next to Mom or Dad.
Apple Martin led the charge, making her runway debut at Chloé on Thursday. The 22-year-old daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, already a familiar face from the brand’s latest summer ads, wore a billowy white eyelet dress and stacked wooden platforms.
She shared the catwalk with Ella Valensi, 19, whose parents are Strokes guitarist Nick Valensi and photographer and media personality Amanda de Cadenet.
On Saturday, Stephanie Seymour’s daughter Lily Brant, 21, walked her first-ever runway for Alaïa, the house that launched her mother’s modeling career in the 1980s. The college student did her homework first, rehearsing her walk on a treadmill in heels raided from Seymour’s wardrobe.
Established model Ella Bleu Travolta, 26, kept the family swagger alive at Miu Miu on Sunday, walking in a lineup with Gigi Hadid, Olivia Colman and Emma Corrin.
Other famous kids arrived with a parent in tow. Heidi Klum’s youngest child, Lou Samuel, 16, had her first Paris Fashion Week outing beside her mom at Vivienne Westwood on Saturday, changing into a white Westwood dress for the BoF500 Gala that night.
The fête was something of a second-generation supermodel summit, with Jude Law and Sadie Frost’s daughter Iris Law, 25, striking a pose arm-in-arm with Kate Moss and Jefferson Hack’s daughter Lila Moss, 24.
Keri Russell’s daughter, Willa, 13, stepped into the spotlight at Louis Vuitton on Monday, posing beside her mom outside the Louvre. The “Diplomat” star has mostly kept her kids away from cameras, but the teen looked right at home in a red-trimmed cropped jacket and coordinating skirt.
Julianne Moore and daughter Liv Freundlich, 24, glittered in Messika diamonds on Thursday, and Freundlich went on to Loewe the next day.
Loewe also drew Tim Burton and Nell Burton, 18, his daughter with Helena Bonham Carter.
Nicole Kidman made Chanel a mother-daughter date with Faith Urban, 15, her youngest with Keith Urban, while French screen legend Isabelle Huppert took in Balenciaga with her actress daughter, Lolita Chammah, 43.
At Dior, the nepo-baby mixer continued: Deva Cassel, 22, daughter of Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel, sat front row, as did Ever Anderson, 18, whose parents are Milla Jovovich and director Paul W.S. Anderson.
Victoria Beckham’s show was a full house, with Romeo, 24, Cruz, 21, and Harper, 15, cheering her on alongside their dad David Beckham. Eldest son Brooklyn Beckham was a notable no-show.
The 27-year-old, who publicly accused his parents of “controlling” behavior in January, skipped mom’s show but turned up at Balenciaga with wife Nicola Peltz Beckham the day before.
With fashion month now over, we’re expecting to see this new crop of young stars pop up again soon.
