Naomi Watts Congratulates Daughter Kai, 16, on Valentino Campaign – ryan

Kai Schreiber is coming up in the fashion world with the big leagues.

The 16-year-old daughter of Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber stars in Valentino’s Pre-Fall campaign, proving that she’s certainly a model on the rise.

In the images, shot under the vision of creative director Alessandro Michele and lensed by Glen Luchford, Kai rocks bleached brows and an outfit that is all but giving modern-day Madonna. She wears a sheer cropped cardigan with fringe, a bow-adorned top, acid-wash jeans and fingerless lace gloves.

Praises for Kai’s newest sartorial achievement were sung loudly by her mom and dad, who showed their love on Instagram. Watts posted a series of photosincluding one of her on set with Kai and Michele, that she captioned: “Beaming with pride.” Schreiber reposted many of the campaign images to his Stories.

Kai was over the moon about the spot. “I am endlessly grateful for this campaign and everyone on the team. ILY ALLLL,” she wrote on Instagram.

Valentino’s Pre-Fall cast also includes Sophie Thatcher, Scarlett White, Amelia Gray Hamlin and Lorenzo Zurzolo.

The campaign comes just over one month after Kai made her runway debut for the Italian fashion house at Paris Fashion Week. The teen, who is represented by global agency IMG Models, made a surprise appearance during the Fall 2025 show, commanding the catwalk in an animal-print minidress, floral lace tights and heels.

Kai’s big fashion moment was also congratulated by her famous parents, with Watts sharing on Instagram that she was “squealing with pride” and Schreiber expressing how “super proud” he was of his youngest, despite the public nepo baby dialogue surrounding the milestone.

While Valentino has played a big part in Kai’s modeling journey, the brand is not the first she’s familiarized herself with over the years. Before stepping onto the runway, Kai proved to be a big fan of the front row, attending shows for Dior and Balenciaga (which was also attended by Nicole Kidman and her model daughter Sunday Rose) with her mom prior.

In addition to Kai, Watts and Schreiber share son Sasha, 17.
