Naomi Watts was a proud mother in the front row at New York Fashion Week.
The actress has been to her fair share of New York Fashion Week editions, but this year's was particularly special for the mother-of-two who was there to support her model daughter Kai Schreiber. Naomi had a front row seat to watch her glamorous 17-year-old strut down the catwalk during the Thom Browne spring/summer 2027 show on September 15.
Naomi, who looked ever so stylish in a striped Thom Browne vest and oversized shorts, reunited with Kai's famous dad, actor Liev Schreiber, to celebrate their daughter's big moment. Since their split in 2016, the exes have remained on friendly terms as co-parents to Kai and their son Sasha, 19.

Kai made her Thom Browne debut at fashion week, looking like a supermodel in the most gorgeous ballerina-style gown. The teen transformed into a butterfly on the runway in a sleeveless dress adorned with wings on the tulle skirt. For the final touches, Kai's hair was swept back in a slicked bun with a netted veil covering her face.
The model walked confidently down the grass-covered catwalk with a bold makeup look featuring a vibrant red lip and rosy cheeks.

After being signed to IMG Models, the same agency that represents supermodels like Bella and Gigi Hadid and Gisele Bündchen, Kai made her runway debut at Paris Fashion Week last week, walking for luxury fashion house Valentino.
Naomi celebrates Kai's major achievement
