Naomi Watts beamed with pride as she stepped out to support her model daughter, Kai Schreiber, at Paris Fashion Week on Thursday.
The 57-year-old actress took a seat by the runway for the Mugler Womenswear Spring/Summer 2026 show alongside former Vogue editor Anna Wintour and actress Pamela Anderson to watch Kai strut her stuff.
And Naomi, no slouch in the fashionista stakes, stunned onlookers ahead of her 16-year-old’s appearance, with her own eye-catching ensemble.
The King Kong star looked radiant in a pinstripe, figure-hugging midi skirt which she paired with a matching cinched blazer, accentuating her stunning silhouette.
Her signature platinum blonde bob was styled in soft, vintage-inspired waves, while her makeup was flawless with a pop of coral-pink lipstick that lit up her smile.
The Australian actress completed her fashion-forward look with classic black pointed-toe heels and a structured black leather handbag.

All eyes were on Kai as she hit the runway in a figure-hugging cream dress that featured a bizarre collar and puff shoulders

Later, all eyes were on Kai as she hit the runway in a long-sleeved, figure-hugging, pale peach-coloured leather dress that appeared to have a reverse fit with an oversized collar.
Looking like a seasoned runway star, Kai’s style was completed with a slicked-back hairdo, matching gold earpieces and dramatic monochromatic makeup.
Completing the outfit was an oversized handbag and summery sandals.
Kai also appeared on the runway for the Isabel Marant fashion show this week in a sexy, matching set that was ready for the beach.
The figure-hugging top featured frills, which were matched by capri pants.
Letting her blonde locks swing free, Kai had a natural makeup look and accessorised with large earrings.
It comes after the rising fashion star accomplished a career milestone by opening the Jason Wu show at New York Fashion Week last month.
Kai ticked off another rite of passage in the modelling world – recovering from a runway wardrobe malfunction.

Things went awry for Kai, the daughter of actor Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts, during the Max Mara Spring/Summer 2026 show at Milan Fashion Week, when her black crop top started slipping down.
Footage from the runway shows Kai subtly adjusting her top with one hand as she continued to strut confidently down the catwalk.
Not one to take herself too seriously, the transgender model later shared the video to her Instagram page alongside the caption: ‘My top fell off at @maxmara lolz.’
Fans praised the budding supermodel for the professional manner in which she handled the mishap, with one commenting: ‘Didn’t even notice. I thought it was part of the show!’
‘But you handled it super well!’ another enthused, as someone else added: ‘Wardrobe malfunction handled flawlessly.’
It comes after Kai recently opened up about her journey with gender identity – and a major role model in her life.
She told Interview Magazine in June that she has studied how people in the transgender community navigated stormy waters in the past.
Kai said she had struggled ‘with gender identity from a young age’ and ‘always wanted to grow up and be a beautiful, glamorous, influential woman, like Marilyn Monroe.’

She also named figures she found inspirational, ‘as a young trans girl’ navigating life through turbulent times for the community.
‘I’m always going to look up to the older generation of transgender people, especially in fashion,’ Kai told the magazine.
‘People like Alex Consani, Hunter Schafer, Hari Nef, Dara, Richie Shazam, Colin Jones, and so many more,’ Kai said.
The second-generation star said that she had a breakthrough earlier this year when working for the fashion house Valentino.
‘That job made me realise, “OK, this is what I want to do. I want to be a supermodel.” Period.’
Kai opened up to the publication about what she’s been doing in terms of honing her craft as a regular presence on the catwalk.
‘I’ve been practising my walks in the kitchen for years; my mom can show you all the videos I forced her to film,’ Kai said.
Kai also opened up about her fashion preferences in the wide-ranging chat with the publication – joking she’s ‘basic, but in a chic way.’
Kai said of her couture choices: ‘I love my low-rise jeans and black cardigan. That’s my go-to outfit. I love when people have their own personal style.
‘If you’re presenting yourself in a unique, cool way, people are immediately drawn in and want to know more. If every person was walking around in the same outfit, fashion wouldn’t be a thing.’
Kai said that ‘the world [is] more fun’ with fashion in the mix.
