All eyes are on the New York style scene this week as designers debut their spring 2026 collections, and it’s clear that one trend has already taken hold: nepo babies are this season’s must-have feature.
That’s right, fashionable nepo babies are making their debuts in droves. From ad campaigns to glossy magazine covers, red carpets and runways, the spawn of Hollywood’s A-list are coming into their own.
And the statuesque Kai Schreiber is leading the pack.
Born in 2008, the 16-year-old model is the daughter of actors Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber.
She made her official runway debut in March when she graced Alessandro Michele’s Valentino catwalk during Paris Fashion Week.
Today, she opened the show for designer Jason Wu, whose Spring 2026 ready-to-wear collection included embroidered lingerie motifs, raw hemlines, and traditional Oxford shirting.
Schreiber strutted down the runway wearing a white bralet with silver clasps and a fluttery matching skirt. Svelt and unsmiling, Kai looked every bit the seasoned supermodel.
And that’s precisely what she’s targeting. This past June, she shared her aspirations with Interview magazine. “I want to be a supermodel. Period,” said Schreiber. “I’ve been practicing my walks in the kitchen for years; my mom can show you all the videos I forced her to film.”
Now, practice is paying off, big time. And mom looks prouder than ever.
