I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but celebrity children have been all over Paris Fashion Week this year, both on and off the runway. Who knew fashion was such a hotbed of nepo-baby activity?
Last week, Apple Martin (daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin) made her Paris Fashion Week debut walking for Chloé. This was pretty unsurprising, as Martin became the face of Chloé’s pre-fall 2026 collection in May in alignment with her greater fashion ambitions. But we started to notice a trend with celebrity kids over the weekend, when the children of Heidi Klum, John Travolta, Nicole Kidman, and ’80s supermodel Stephanie Seymour were all spotted at Paris Fashion Week in various capacities.
Like Martin, Travolta’s daughter, Ella Bleu Travolta, and Seymour’s daughter, Lily Brant, were making their fashion-week runway debuts. Ella Bleu walked in Miu Miu’s spring–summer 2027 show on Sunday and Brant walked for Alaïa on Saturday. Meanwhile, younger celebrity kids took in fashion week as observers rather than participants. Klum’s 16-year-old daughter, Lou Samuel, joined her mother in the front row at Vivienne Westwood on Saturday before the duo changed for the Business of Fashion gala later that evening. Then, on Monday, Kidman and her teenage daughter Faith Urban were spotted at the Chanel spring-summer 2027 show. It’s worth noting that both Urban’s and Samuel’s older siblings have already started modeling careers, so perhaps they’re preparing to follow in their footsteps, as younger siblings do.
At this rate, I’m surprised we haven’t seen Rihanna’s 1-year-old daughter, Rocki, walking in a Dior show. Maybe next year.
