Kai Schreiber Shines in Her Runway Debut at Paris Fashion Week
It’s always inspiring to see young talent step into the spotlight, and Kai Schreiber, the 16-year-old daughter of Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber, is doing just that in the fashion world. I’ve always admired how early confidence can set the stage for a beautiful career, and Kai’s journey is a perfect example.
Just a few days ago, on March 9, she made her runway debut at Paris Fashion Week, one of the most exciting events in fashion. Walking for Valentino, she turned heads in a leopard-print long-sleeve minidress with a feathered collar that added such a soft, elegant touch. Paired with sheer white tights and white open-toe heels, the look felt fresh and youthful, while those black-rimmed sunglasses with blue lenses gave it a bold, modern edge. I love how she balanced classic patterns with a bit of daring—I’ve found that mixing textures like feathers and sheer fabrics can really elevate an outfit, and this proves it. If you’re trying this at home, start with a statement piece and add accessories that complement without overwhelming.
After her debut, Kai shared a photo of her look on Instagram the same day, captioning it with “omggg my heart is so full ilysm” and tagging the team behind her stunning outfit. It’s such a sweet moment, and it reminds me of how much joy a first big step can bring. I’ve always cherished those early wins in my own beauty journey, like my first time experimenting with bold makeup looks.
Her mother, Naomi Watts, couldn’t hide her pride. At 56, she posted a carousel of videos and pictures of Kai at the event, writing, “That’s my @maisonvalentino baby! I’m squealing with pride. Ilysm @kaischreiberrr .” As someone who’s celebrated my own children’s milestones, I know that feeling of watching them shine—it’s pure happiness. Liev Schreiber, 57, joined in too, sharing a celebratory photo with the caption, “Ladies and gentlemen, the one, the only, the indomitable @kaischreiberr!” Their support is so heartwarming, and it shows how family encouragement can boost confidence on the catwalk.
Fans were just as excited, flooding the comments with love. One wrote on Liev’s post, “What would you expect from beautiful parents like hers…” which made me smile—good genes definitely help! Another noted on Naomi’s post, “Kai can seriously manage those heels! Beyond impressed. I never got that good,” and I relate to that. It took me years to feel comfortable in high heels, so my tip is to practice at home with a supportive pair before stepping out. A third fan cheered, “What an incredible moment for you, Kai!!! Cheering you on from the sidelines GORGEOUS,” and I couldn’t agree more—support from others really lifts you up.
Naomi and Liev were together from 2005 to 2016 but never married, raising their son Sasha, 17, and daughter Kai with such grace. Watching Kai step into this world feels like a beautiful continuation of their influence, and I can’t wait to see where her style takes her next. It’s moments like these that remind me why I love sharing beauty stories—there’s always something new to learn and admire.
