Ella Bleu Travolta has officially made her Paris runway debut on one of the top fashion brands’ stages. The 26-year-old daughter of John Travolta and the late Kelly Preston made her Paris Fashion Week runway debut, walking in Miu Miu’s Spring/Summer 2027 Ready-to-Wear show on Sunday.

Ella rocked an oversized forest-green blazer layered over a patterned top and navy trousers and sandals. She looked cool and composed with hair in a perfectly messy updo with natural makeup. There’s no denying she looked just like her mom’s mini me. Kelly might be remembered for her blonde hair, but she used to dye it brown and shades of red over the years.

Miu Miu is ranked as the world’s second-hottest fashion brand according to the second quarter of the 2026 Lyst Index, which tracks the hottest fashion brands and products online. It looks at what 160 million shoppers are searching for and engaging with across social media, search, editorial coverage, and emerging AI platforms based on desire, demand, and discovery. So her Paris Fashion Week debut was with one of the most sought-after fashion houses in the world.

Ella’s multifaceted career
She’s been on the runway before, making her New York Fashion Week runway debut in 2022, walking in Karl Lagerfeld’s “Cara Loves Karl” collection.
Ella has also attended Fashion Weeks in New York and Milan and appeared on red carpets in designer looks, including this year’s Cannes Film Festival. She has pursued acting throughout her career and recently starred in her father’s directorial debut, Propeller One-Way Night Coach, which premiered at Cannes earlier this year, which is when John’s hat went viral.
Ella can even sing, releasing her debut single “Dizzy” in 2022. In her Vogue Italia interview, she explained that she hopes to bring all of those interests together rather than just choosing one. “I’m trying to combine all these things as much as possible,” she said, adding that she is focusing on acting but hopes fashion and music will continue to be part of her life.

In a world obsessed with the idea of “nepo babies,” Ella has made it clear that she wants to establish an identity of her own. When asked about the term in 2023, she told Parade, “I know that personally speaking, for me, my parents are my parents and obviously what they do is acting and singing and all of that, but I can just learn from them—I’m definitely proud to be their child and also forge my own career in whatever I choose.”
She carried that same tune in 2026. “I’m very close to my family, but I don’t want to give up being myself,” she told Vogue Italia. “I’d like to forge my own path: at home they’ve always encouraged me to do so.”

John has also emphasized that Ella is her own person. In a 2019 interview with PEOPLE, he praised his daughter as “gracious, generous, poised, graceful and gorgeous,” adding that he didn’t take credit for who she became “other than just adoring her.”
