Meryl Streep's rarely-seen actress daughter Louisa Jacobson resurfaces in most daring look

Meryl Streep's 35-year-old daughter Louisa Jacobson resurfaced for an ultra-rare appearance recently in the most daring look. 

Louisa, who fans might know best for starring as Marian on The Gilded Age, couldn't look more different from her period drama persona when she arrived at the 2026 WWD Honors in New York City on 27 October in an open blazer – with no shirt underneath. The star's Tom Ford blazer featured a statement flower on the left lapel and was paired with matching pinstriped trousers. 

Her bold blonde 'bixie' (blend between bob and pixie) haircut was swept in a side part over one side of her face and her makeup kept minimalist for the evening.

The night before, Louisa was out on the red carpet for the premiere of The Gilded Age season four, which comes out on 1 November. The actress wowed in a sultry look, opting for a cropped jacket that exposed her midriff and tailored black trousers.

Meryl's daughters have all followed in her footsteps

Louisa is the youngest of Meryl's four children with Don Gummer. While Meryl's only son, Henry Wolfe Gummer, is a musician, all three of the Hollywood legend's daughters have pursued a career in acting, and you might recognise them from several hit TV shows that have had their moments in popular culture recently.

Meryl's eldest daughter, Grace Gummer, has appeared in films and shows like The Homesman and Mr. Robot and notably starred as Caroline Kennedy in the popular FX series Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette earlier this year. Her younger sister, Mamie Gummer, has been acting for four decades and is set to reprise her role in season two of Prime Video's hit drama We Were Liars. 

Meryl once opened up about her daughters all following in her footsteps in a 2011 interview with The Talks. "I am proud that my daughters want to do this. But I am also frightened for them, too," she admitted. 

"Because when criticism comes your way as an actor they are not criticizing your writing or your painting or your piece, they are criticizing you! It is hard to put that away in a place where you are not hurt by it and that is my fear for them," she explained. 

"But I would never say don’t do it, because I think it is a glorious profession and I am so thankful for everything it has let me express."
