In a rare public appearance, Keri Russell’s teenage daughter, Willa Lou Deary, joined her famous mom at Paris Fashion Week.
Stepping out together on Tuesday, October 6, to attend the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2027 runway show in the French capital, the mother-daughter duo posed for photos in equally dazzling ensembles.
While the Diplomat star, 50, opted for a white structured blouse, black mini skirt and black heels, her daughter, 13, stunned in a tweed pink-and-red two-piece set with dual-tone heels. The pair complemented their outfits with compact Louis Vuitton handbags, while matching with both of their hair pulled back.
Russell shares Willa and her son, River Russell, 19, with her ex-husband, Shane Deary, whom she divorced in 2014. The actress also shares son Sam, 10, with her partner, Matthew Rhys.
In 2023, Russell spoke about Willa during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, revealing that her daughter was not a fan of her acting work on the WB’s Felicity. “My daughter, about a year ago — she’s kind of mature for her age, and she was bored one day — I said, ‘Hey, Willa, I did this show about this college girl, and you might think it’s cool. It’s really sweet,’” Russell said at the time. “And so I showed it to her. I put it on, and I downloaded an episode. After about 15 minutes, she turned it off and she went, ‘Ugh, mom, it’s so cringy.’”
Russell, laughing, added that Willa had been “actually grossed out by me” amid the youngster questioning why her mom would “think I’d want to watch your college experience making out with weird boys and stuff?”
Felicity, which ran from 1998 to 2002, was a coming-of-age drama that followed Russell’s character, Felicity Porter, navigating college after following her high school crush to New York City.
The actress’ signature candor was more recently exhibited during an October 2025 interview with People that discussed growing interest in plastic surgery trends among women.
“Plastic surgery is having such a moment right now — men, women, 20-year-olds. I mean, it is around,” she told the outlet at the time. “We’re inundated with these movie stars. Even though they might be 50 or 60 years old, they look amazing.”
She noted that these days women face physical critiquing for the most minor of things. “It’s such a weird thing. Everyone has an opinion about the way you look, the way you dress, the way your hair is,” she said.
