Meet The New Wave of Celebrity Offspring Taking Over Fashion Week in 2025
The fashion industry loves a famous name. Fresh crops of celebrity kids-turned-runway-habitués spring up in tandem with the fashion seasons, some lucky enough to have more staying power than others. Hailey Bieber, Kaia Gerber, Lila Moss, and the Kardashian-Jenners have now become household names, with social media accounts and booming businesses that amass millions of followers and dollars (in Bieber's case, billions). Unsurprisingly, hot off the heels of the latest round of menswear and couture shows, there is a new generation of celebrity offspring to get acquainted with. Kai Schreiber, the 16-year-old model-actress and daughter of Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber, stomped onto the fashion scene last March, walking the Valentino show in Paris. Shortly after that, she signed with IMG and scored a campaign for the Alessandro Michele-helmed French house alongside another rising star, Scarlett White (daughter of Karen Elson and Jack White). Just over a week ago, the leggy blonde with an affinity for pairing Adidas pants with Margiela Tabi boots proved she was more than a one-season wonder, spotted both on the runway at Michael Rider's Celine debut and front row at Demna's swan-song Balenciaga couture show alongside her mother just a few days later. It's safe to say that this is just the beginning of Schreiber's fashion industry takeover, with high expectations that she will be all over the runways (and campaigns) come September. However, Schreiber is certainly not the only new girl in town worth noting. Romy Mars, the 18-year-old actress, singer, and daughter of filmmaker Sofia Coppola and musician Thomas Mars, has been making waves while garnering thousands of views on TikTok since 2023. Her most viral moment was the result of her being grounded for trying to charter a helicopter using her rock star dad's credit card. Famous kids, they're just like us. Except not. Coppola has been known to keep Mars and her younger sister Cosima, 15, out of the public eye, apart from Romy's appearance in her grandfather Francis Ford Coppola's film Megalopolis in 2024 and the release of her 'A-Lister' song and music video this past May (yes, Mom directed the project). But the three women embraced the spotlight together last week at the Chanel couture show in Paris, donning matching pastel looks that were very much to be remembered. And of course, Mars documented the experience for her collective 500k-plus following on Instagram and TikTok. On the menswear scene, it's Lennon, 25, and Gene, 23, Gallagher, sons of Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher (Lennon's mom is Patsy Kensit and Gene's is Nicole Appleton), who are on the style set's radar. It doesn't hurt that their father's band is currently having a reunion tour, the first after a 16-year hiatus—leading to a surge in press for all of the Gallagher kids. Last month, Lennon and Gene sat front row at Anthony Vaccarello's latest outing for Saint Laurent menswear. Gene is a newer face in comparison to Lennon, who made his modeling debut on the runway at Topman in 2017 before going on to work with Saint Laurent, Burberry, and most recently, Tod's. This past April saw the celebration of the Italian house's iconic Gommino loafer, with a campaign titled 'Italian Diaries' that was shot by Oliver Hadlee Pearch at Villa Talamo in Tuscany. In front of the camera were five children of Hollywood's elite: Lennon Gallagher, actress and singer Ella Bleu Travolta, daughter of John Travolta and Kelly Preston; writer and director Stella Banderas, daughter of Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith (which also makes her Dakota Johnson's half sister); model and artist Roberto Rossellini, son of Isabella Rossellini; and singer and actor Leo Gassmann, son of filmmaker Alessandro Gassmann. It's certainly not a new phenomenon, but a famous last name is still a hot ticket for teens and twentysomethings looking to break into the fashion industry. Front-row seats at runway shows and starring roles in seasonal campaigns seamlessly come along with the gig, often with no strings attached—apart from an Instagram story or TikTok video on their covetable platforms. But maintaining star power and expanding their reach to become the next founder of a brand like Rhode or the Fashion Awards Model of the Year is something that they will have to do on their own. After all, without the legacy, a name is simply a name.

Metropolis or Atlanta? ‘Superman' coming to life after being filmed in Georgia
After filming at a metro Atlanta film studio for nearly a year, 'Superman' is about to hit the big screen. The Man of Steel is back to fighting crime, and this time he did it about 30 miles outside of Atlanta. Channel 2's Karyn Greer visited Trilith Studios in Fayetteville, the largest production studio in North America, and spoke to the CEO about all the massive projects undertaken there. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] 'We've done a lot of big films, a lot of the Marvel movies, like 'Avengers: Infinity War' and 'Endgame.' We recently finished Mr. Coppola, Francis Coppola's 'Megalopolis,' and, of course, 'Superman,'" CEO Frank Patterson said. Patterson said he's proud to be part of the latest rendition of the iconic superhero. 'It's incredible. So you're talking about one of the greatest storytellers of our time, [director] James Gunn, making a movie about one of the biggest mythical characters in our culture,' he described. 'So we, needless to say, we were very excited about supporting it, and it was a heavy lift, as you might imagine.' But if you're hoping to see anything that looks familiar, Patterson you'll see much more of Superman's home, the fictional Metropolis, than Atlanta.

'There's so much humor, there's action, there is real heart and there's love. I think audiences are going to walk away feeling really satisfied, really happy and honestly, you're going be able to see it more than once because there's just so much to it,' said actor Anthony Carrigan, who plays Metamorpho. 'To shoot this movie was very, very exciting. I have never been a part of something where it's a huge ensemble and every role is significant because James cares about his universe and the details,' said actress Isabela Merced, who plays Hawkgirl. [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter] David Corenswet stars as Superman and his journalist alter ego, Clark Kent. Rachel Brosnahan and Nicholas Hoult take on the iconic roles of journalist and love interest Lois Lane and villain Lex Luthor. 'Superman' opens in theaters nationwide on July 11.

How much are tickets to see Francis Ford Coppola discuss ‘Megalopolis' live?
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. Following the theatrical release of 2024's 'Megalopolis,' the film somehow ceased to exist. Francis Ford Coppola's latest — his 23rd feature-length directorial effort and first since 2011 — did not hit streaming services. No physical media hit shelves. It seemed as if you missed the movie at the multiplex, you were out of luck. However, now a little less than a year later, we're starting to see why. The 86-year-old auteur recently announced he's striking out on a six-show 'Megalopolis' tour where he'll screen and discuss the divisive yet rewarding, challenging yet invigorating film live. 'This is the way 'Megalopolis' was meant to be seen, in a large venue, with a crowd and followed by intense interactive discussions about the future,' Coppola shared via Instagram. 'I'm bringing 'Megalopolis' to unique theatres in select cities across the country. Following the screenings, I will lead an interactive conversation about the future of humanity, along with a live audience Q&A.' On the brief trek, the Hofstra grad is set to make two New York and New Jersey stops to chat about the film that tells the story of an 'alternate United States' called New Rome where plans to build 'Megalopolis,' a utopian urbanist community is proposed. First, he'll hit Red Bank, NJ's Count Basie Center on Sunday, July 20. Soon after, the visionary behind 'The Godfather,' 'The Conversation,' 'Apocalypse Now' and 'The Outsiders' swings into Port Chester, NY's Capitol Theatre on Wednesday, July 23. If you want to be there to catch the cinema icon/American Zoetrope founder talk about the heady flick (which stars Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Dustin Hoffman, Laurence Fishburne, Shia LaBeouf and so, so, so many more), tickets can be scooped up for most shows as of today.

Francis Ford Coppola's ‘Megalopolis' Is Returning to Theaters, in a Truly Mega Way
Megalopolis, Francis Ford Coppola's long-awaited dream project, came and went from theaters last year. Usually, after that, a film would show up on demand or for streaming but that wasn't the case here. What was happening with Megalopolis? Now we know. Starting July 20, Coppola's film will be taken on the road for a series of events called 'An Evening With Francis Ford Coppola and Megalopolis Screening.' It kicks off in Red Bank, NJ, before going to Port Chester, NY; Chicago, IL; Denver, CO; Dallas, TX; and San Francisco, CA. It includes a screening of the film, obviously, as well as an 'interactive discussion' with Coppola called 'How to Change Our Future.' 'This is the way Megalopolis was meant to be seen,' Coppola said in a statement. 'In a large venue, with a crowd and followed by intense interactive discussions about the future.' You can get tickets on Ticketmaster, which appear to cost around $40. Released last year, Megalopolis was the result of decades of planning and anticipation from the legendary director of The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, and The Conversation. It cost well over $100 million and was paid for almost exclusively by Coppola himself, but it proceeded to bomb at the box office, grossing a little over $14 million. Nevertheless, the film's huge ambition and beyond-weird performances, themes, and visuals gave it the beginnings of cult classic status. Physical versions of the film were released but nothing beyond that. Adam Driver stars in the film as a visionary architect who wants to push his city into the future, only to run into a hard-nosed mayor, played by Giancarlo Esposito. Nathalie Emmanuel, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, and Shia LaBeouf all get in the fun along with Aubrey Plaza as a character named Wow Platinum. Yes, it's a movie where someone named 'Wow Platinum' makes total sense. We don't think Megalopolis is a particularly good movie, but it's certainly fascinating, worthy of discussion, and surely there won't be too many more cases to see Coppola discuss his work in public in the coming years. If you're a fan, take note.

Francis Ford Coppola to host S.F. screening of ‘Megalopolis,' the way it was ‘meant to be seen'
Francis Ford Coppola is headed to San Francisco to present his film ' Megalopolis ' and to discuss the future of cinema. Billed as 'An Evening With Francis Ford Coppola and 'Megalopolis' Screening,' the Aug. 1 event at the Palace of Fine Arts is the final stop on a tour organized by Live Nation. Tickets are on sale at 'Megalopolis,' released theatrically in September, was the 'Godfather' filmmaker's dream project for decades. The Napa Valley resident famously footed the $120 million budget himself in part by selling a portion of his Sonoma County wine empire. The film, beset by controversy, pulled in only $14 million globally. Later, Coppola suggested he was near bankruptcy. The film has divided critics, including here at the Chronicle. Undeterred, the 86-year-old Coppola has declined to release the film to streaming, and has hosted screenings off and on since the film's run in theaters. 'This is the way 'Megalopolis' was meant to be seen, in a large venue, with a crowd and followed by intense interactive discussions about the future,' Coppola said in a statement released by Live Nation. After the screening of the over two-hour epic, Coppola is scheduled to host an 'in-depth interactive discussion' called 'How to Change Our Future.' The discussion also includes a Q&A with the audience. 'Megalopolis' stars Adam Driver as architect Cesar Catilina, whose vision of a utopia in New Rome is at odds with corrupt Mayor Franklyn Cicero (Giancarlo Esposito), with the mayor's daughter (Nathalie Emmanuel) caught in the middle. The all-star cast includes Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Aubrey Plaza and Dustin Hoffman. Driver defended the film and its maker as Coppola received the American Film Institute's 50th Life Achievement Award at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles in April. 'This is a principled life, and for a year in our culture when the importance of the arts is minimized, and our industry is seemingly out in the open, then the only metric to judge a film's success is by how much money it makes,' Driver said. 'I hang on to individuals like Francis for inspiration, who live through their convictions, through big moves, all in service of pushing the medium forward. 'Francis took $120 million and created a singular gesture for what he thought film could be, and I think that's pretty great.'
