Naomi Watts' youngest child Kai made their FROW debut on Monday, attending the Dior pre-fall fashion show in Brooklyn, New York alongside The Watcher actress.

The 55-year-old Australian star and student Kai, 15, took pride of place on the star-studded FROW alongside Alexandra Daddario, Alexandra Shipp, Michelle Williams, Rachel Zegler, Haerin and Anya Taylor-Joy. Looking gorgeous in a white dress with a cinched-in waistline and layered necklaces, boho beauty Naomi was pictured gazing lovingly at Kai.

Kai looked amazing in head-to-toe Dior, donning the French fashion house's $4,900 white floral pleated skirt paired with a coordinating embroidered sweater, which retails for $4,500.

Naomi shares Kai and Alexander, 16, with her ex Liev Schreiber. The pair parted ways in 2016 after an 11-year romance and are committed to maintaining an amicable relationship while co-parenting their teenagers.

Liev previously acknowledged their special bond, saying during a CBS This Morning appearance: "We're parents together, so we'll be together for the rest of our lives no matter what. We're very close. Hopefully, that never changes and I don't think it will."

The Ray Donovan star became a father again last autumn, welcoming a daughter named Hazel Bee, with his wife, Taylor Neisen.

As for Naomi, she wed fellow actor Billy Crudup in a low-key New York town hall ceremony last summer, five years after meeting on the set of Netflix drama Gypsy.

Naomi and Liev tend to keep their children out of the spotlight, only occasionally sharing snippets of their family lives on social media.

On Kai's 15th birthday, Naomi paid a heartfelt tribute to her youngest, sharing: "Happy birthday my sweet little angel. You are everything to me. I'm so lucky to be your mum. Keep dancing and showing the world your dynamic and glorious spirit."

In 2022, the blended family - including Billy and Taylor - gathered for a sweet photo to celebrate Kai's middle school graduation.

"Congratulations to Kai Class of 2022," Naomi enthused in her Instagram caption, adding the hashtag "modern family".

Both Sasha and elder brother Kai have caught the acting bug from their thespian parents, attending performing arts camp.
