Rachael Leigh Cook is not new to red carpets, however, she made a rare appearance alongside her son, Theodore Vigo Sullivan Gillies, 10. The two posed together for the premiere of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle in Los Angeles on September 9. The 90s movie icon wore a gorgeous white gown with sequined patterns and her son donned a cool futuristic look, which included a black tracksuit with turquoise detailing, sneakers and even a sword. In July, both of her kids made another rare appearance at the Freaky Friday premiere in Los Angeles.
Theodore was joined by his older sister, Charlotte Easton Gillies, 11. Looks like the mother-of-two has been enjoying bringing along her kids with her for a fun family night out. Charlotte wore a powder pink cocktail dress, kitten heels, and a pink cross-body bag with a hanging pink Labubu. Theodore rocked an elegant look with a white button-up shirt, black blazer, tailored black pants, sneakers, and he had his hair gelled to one side.

The She's All That star shares her two children with her ex-husband Daniel Gillie. Back in 2017, when both of her children were younger, Rachael got candid about the difficulties of being a mother.

Because it's true — people who don't have kids, they can be sympathetic and they can be lovely, but they don't understand how a simple skipped nap or something like that can completely throw your day."
Rachael also transparently shared the consistent struggles she's faced carving the time out to be an actress, mother and to have time for herself.

Her little ones often had difficulty with separation anxiety growing up, and the actress added: "'Work' is a very bad buzzword around our house, because they know that it means that Mom or Dad is leaving. My daughter goes, 'No, Mom does not go to work!' Like she's some strange repressive '50s male. Like it's not my place. I shouldn't laugh. That's wrong."
