Naomi Watts Proudly Celebrates Daughter Kai’s Valentino Campaign Success After Her Stunning Runway Debut
Kai Schreiber is making a name for herself in the fashion industry.
The 16-year-old daughter of Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber is featured in Valentino’s Pre-Fall campaign, solidifying her status as an emerging model.
In the campaign images, creatively directed by Alessandro Michele and captured by Glen Luchford, Kai showcases a bold look with bleached brows, donning a sheer cropped cardigan with fringe, a bow-adorned top, acid-wash jeans, and fingerless lace gloves, evoking a modern-day Madonna vibe.
Kai’s latest fashion achievement received glowing praise from her parents, who expressed their pride on Instagram. Watts shared a series of photos, including one of her on set with Kai and Michele, captioning it: “Beaming with pride.” Schreiber also reposted several of the campaign images to his Stories.
Thrilled about the campaign, Kai expressed her gratitude on Instagram, stating, “I am endlessly grateful for this campaign and everyone on the team. ILY ALLLL.”
Valentino’s Pre-Fall campaign also features other talents including Sophie Thatcher, Scarlett White, Amelia Gray Hamlin, and Lorenzo Zurzolo.
The campaign launch follows just over a month after Kai made her runway debut for Valentino at Paris Fashion Week. Represented by IMG Models, she made a surprise appearance during the Fall 2025 show, confidently walking the runway in an animal-print minidress paired with floral lace tights and heels.
Her big fashion moment sparked congratulations from her famous parents; Watts shared her excitement on Instagram, expressing that she was “squealing with pride,” while Schreiber conveyed how “super proud” he was of his youngest child, despite the conversations surrounding nepotism in the industry.
While Valentino plays a significant role in Kai’s modeling journey, it’s not the first brand she has engaged with over the years. Before stepping onto the runway, Kai developed an appreciation for haute couture through front-row experiences at shows for Dior and Balenciaga, which she attended alongside her mother.
In addition to Kai, Watts and Schreiber have a son named Sasha, who is 17.
