Actress Keri Russell made her first major public appearance alongside her 13-year-old daughter, Willa. They attended the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2027 show at the Louvre during Paris Fashion Week on Oct. 6, 2026. This high-profile event marked a rare public outing for the teenager, whom the 50-year-old actress has largely kept out of the spotlight.
A Mother-Daughter Style Statement in Paris
The mother-daughter duo turned heads in contrasting yet polished ensembles for the French fashion house’s showcase. Russell wore a crisp white high-neck button-up shirt paired with a structured short black skirt, black stiletto heels, and a signature Louis Vuitton handbag.
Thirteen-year-old Willa embraced a bold, monochromatic aesthetic for her red-carpet debut. She wore a light red skirt suit featuring a zip-up jacket with delicate button detailing. She accented the outfit with black heels, a matching red purse, and a sleek ponytail.
Family Dynamics and Background
Willa is one of two children Russell shares with her former husband, Shane Deary. The former couple also shares a 19-year-old son, River. Additionally, Russell shares a 10-year-old son, Sam, with her partner and fellow actor Matthew Rhys.
While Willa enjoyed the high-energy world of Paris Fashion Week, Russell previously shared that her daughter is less enthusiastic about certain aspects of her acting career. During a 2023 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Russell tried to show Willa her classic late-90s college drama Felicity.
“After about 15 minutes, she turned it off, and she went, ‘Ugh, Mom, it’s so cringy,’” Russell recounted, laughing about her daughter’s candid review of her early television work.
Star-Studded Louis Vuitton Showcase
The Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2027 presentation served as a star-studded grand finale to Paris Fashion Week, drawing global celebrities to the Louvre. Alongside Russell and Willa, front-row attendees included Emma Stone, Zendaya, Saoirse Ronan, and Ana de Armas.
Following the runway presentation, Russell and Willa were spotted holding hands while arriving at the brand’s exclusive after-party. This moment cemented an unforgettable introduction to the fashion world for the young teenager.
