Frances Bean Cobain stepped out for a rare public outing on September 22, and the resemblance to her late father, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, was impossible to miss.
Frances attended the Los Angeles Special Screening of The Deputy at the Landmark Theaters Sunset, where the 34-year-old artist looked effortlessly cool as she posed for photographers.
With her piercing blue eyes, soft smile, and signature dirty-blonde hair styled straight with a deep side parting, Frances gave a striking reminder of her grunge-legend dad.

She wore a dark graphic T-shirt paired underneath an oversized, brown leather blazer, and favored her late dad's trend of layering in the early nineties.

Her life away from the spotlight

She's kept a low profile over recent years, and prefers to focus on her artwork and growing family.
Frances married Riley Hawk, professional skateboarder and son of skate legend Tony Hawk, in a private ceremony in October 2023. It was officiated by her godfather, R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe.

Frances' tribute to her dad on the 30th anniversary of his death
Kurt died by suicide at the age of 27 in 1994. Frances was just 20 months at the time.

She continued: "His mom Wendy would often press my hands to her cheeks & say, with a lulling sadness, 'you have his hands'. She would breathe them in as if it were her only chance to hold him just a little bit closer, frozen in time. I hope she's holding his hands wherever they are.

Frances continued: "The duality of life & death, pain & joy, yin & yang, need to exist along side each other or none of this would have any meaning. It is the impermanent nature of human existence which throws us into the depths of our most authentic lives. As it turns out, there is no greater motivation for leaning into loving awareness than knowing everything ends."
