Meet RFK Jr.'s budding model daughter Kyra Kennedy as she makes waves at Italian fashion week
.'s budding model daughter Kyra Kennedy made waves at Italian Fashion Week on Thursday.
The daughter of the US secretary of health and human services, 30, turned heads as she attended the Gucci Cruise 2026 runway show in Florence, Italy, wearing a chic, gray skirt and jacket combo.
Underneath the jacket she donned a sheer turtleneck top, which left her bra on full display.
She completed the look with some black pumps and a Gucci purse.
Kyra left her long, brown locks in loose waves around her face and opted for striking makeup that included a smokey eye and pink lipstick.
Kyra - the youngest child of RFK Jr. and his second wife, Mary Richardson - found herself in hot water back in 2016 after she was accused of 'cyberbullying' a reporter.
New York Magazine writer Allie Jones had written a piece commenting on a New York Times profile about Kyra and her friends entitled Move Over, Rat Pack and Brat Pack: Here Comes the Snap Pack.
Allie called the story a 'delightfully nauseating look into the lives' of the privileged 20-somethings in a fierce article.

And it seemed to anger Kyra, who left a slew of sarcastic comments on Allie's profile, including one that said, 'I can play games too b***h,' along with a devil emoji.
'@allierileyjones are you maybe gorgeous,' Kyra wrote on another post, this time using the tears of joy emoji.
'@alliereilyjones clearly taking your insecurities out on others. We can play too,' she added in a third comment.
At the time, Allie responded by writing an essay for The Cut entitled, I'm Being Cyberbullied on Instagram by a Kennedy.
She recapped the entire ordeal and included screenshots of Kyra's comments.
'I [replied to] Kennedy this morning to see if she'd like to email me about her concerns. Whatever game we're playing, I hope it inspires others,' Allie wrote.
In the aftermath, it was revealed that Kyra's dad had forced her to shut down her Instagram account altogether.
A rep for RFK Jr. - who is known for being an anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist - told The New York Post: 'Mr. Kennedy has spoken to Kyra and informed his daughter that their family does not bully people.
'He has instructed her to shut down all of her social media accounts immediately.'
It was also reported that she had been 'shipped off to strict boarding school in Italy' around that time, after her excessive partying allegedly got in the way of her school work.
'She was really having a tough time, partying a lot,' a family friend told Page Six.
'It's a very strict therapeutic school, with no internet, no phones. The only communication is by mail.'
She was absent from Instagram for three years, but since her return in 2019, she has become a star in her own right - gaining more than 35,000 followers by showcasing her extremely jet-set lifestyle as an up-and-coming model.
A graduate from Fashion Institute of Technology, Kyra has interned at Kenneth Cole and Dior, per Harper's Bazaar.
Kyra seems to be supportive of her father's controversial opinions as she was by his side when he posed with President Donald Trump at the White House after he was sworn in for his new role in February.

Plus, she was one of three of RFK Jr.'s six kids who were with him on stage at an event in Boston in June 2023 as he kickstarted his 2024 Presidential campaign.
'There are other members of my family who are not here today,' he said to the crowd with a laugh.
'I know most American families - they never have any differences with each other,' he added sarcastically.
Kyra made her modeling debut in 2019, when she posed for her close friend Andrew Warren's clothing line.
She also walked in his runway show at New York Fashion Week that year.
Now, she is often spotted at elite fashion events hosted by brands like Giorgio Armani, Max Mara, and Louis Vuitton.
Back in October, she announced that she was starring in a campaign for BVLGARI Official, writing, 'A dream come true! So excited.'
Most recently, she graced the cover of ¡HOLA! Fashion in January.
