Naomi Watts’ lookalike daughter makes runway modelling debut

They wore a mini-dress with a feathered collar for the Fall/Winter 2025 show and later shared some pictures of the event on Instagram.

Under one of the posts, their mother Watts declared: “Be still my beating heart!! ♥️ bravo darling ILYSM and what a show!!”

She also posted an image to her own account.

“That’s my @maisonvalentino baby! I’m squealing with pride,” Watts’ caption read on her own shared image of the event.

Watts’ former husband Schreiber also celebrated his daughter’s debut, posting a picture from the show with some fatherly praise.

“Ladies and gentlemen the one, the only, the indomitable @kaischreiberr!,” he wrote in the caption.

Watts and Schreiber separated in 2016 after 11 years together. They share Kai and their 17-year-old son Sasha.

The pair remain on good terms. Watts told Net-a-Porter in 2019 the former couple were “doing things differently”. 

“I’m pretty proud of us, corny as that may sound. We’ve made it our absolute priority to be good and kind to each other and we’re absolutely committed to that,” she said.

Watts’ daughter’s catwalk debut comes just a few months after her friend Nicole Kidman’s daughter with Keith Urban, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban made her catwalk debut in Paris.

Also 16, Kidman Urban hit the Paris runway for Miuccia Prada’s label Miu Miu in October. 

The pair join some other famous offspring on the catwalk, including Kate Moss’s daughter Lila, Johnny Depp’s daughter and Chanel favourite Lily-Rose Depp and 1990s supermodel Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia Gerber.
