Actress Naomi Watts is embracing the vibrant world of fashion, especially as her daughter, Kai Schreiber, steps into the modeling spotlight. During a recent interview, Watts spoke enthusiastically about a particular dress that caught her daughter’s eye. “This dress, she was very much in favor of right away,” Watts beamed. “She wants to own this dress afterward.”
Motherly Advice for a Fashion Career
As Kai prepares for her modeling debut, Naomi has shared valuable words of wisdom with her. “Know why you’re there,” she advised, emphasizing the importance of passion in one’s career. “You better love it because being self-employed is not the easiest thing. There’s no guarantee. We all have a pretty good work ethic in my family. So, I trust it’s going to go well.” This guidance reflects Watts’ keen understanding of the challenges that come with a career in fashion.
Celebrating a Successful Collaboration
In addition to offering advice, Watts has experienced the joy of working alongside her daughter in the industry. The mother-daughter duo collaborated on Simkhai’s fall 2026 campaign, a project that underscored their shared passion for fashion. “She’s very professional,” Watts said of her daughter during the campaign. “She loves what she does and is obsessed with fashion. It was really lovely. Any time I get to spend with my teenage kids is a win.”
Watts’s Personal Joys
Watts, who recently tied the knot with actor Billy Crudup in 2023, is relishing the moment as her daughter thrives in the fashion world. With a strong foundation of work ethic and a passion for fashion, both Watts and Kai are poised for a bright future in the industry, making their bond as mother and daughter even more special.
