Apple Martin, Ella Bleu Travolta and other celebrity children made runway debuts or attended shows with famous parents at Paris Fashion Week.

Celebrity children dominated Paris Fashion Week's spring/summer 2027 shows. Apple Martin, 22, made her runway debut at Chloé wearing a billowy white eyelet dress and wooden platforms. She had previously appeared in the brand's summer advertisements. Ella Bleu Travolta, 26, walked for Miu Miu on Sunday alongside established models including Gigi Hadid, Olivia Colman and Emma Corrin. Lily Brant, 21, the daughter of model Stephanie Seymour, made her first-ever runway appearance for Alaïa, the house that launched her mother's modelling career. She rehearsed her walk on a treadmill in heels from her mother's wardrobe.

Other celebrity children attended shows with their famous parents. Heidi Klum brought her youngest child, Lou Samuel, 16, to Vivienne Westwood on Saturday. Keri Russell appeared with her daughter Willa, 13, at Louis Vuitton on Monday outside the Louvre.

The Guardian describes the phenomenon as a 'nepo baby takeover' spanning New York, London, Milan and Paris. PR consultant Mark Borkowski characterised it as reflecting 'a wonderful cocktail of youth, nostalgia and inherited glamour', describing the trend as 'the industrialisation of inherited fame'. Fran Hoepfner, author of The Field Guide to Nepo Babies, noted that a true nepo baby requires both a family connection and a direct or adjacent industry connection.
