“This dress, she was very much in favor of right away,” the actress beamed. “She wants to own this dress afterward.”
While Kai had some words of wisdom about fashion for her mom, Watts—who also shares son Sasha Schreiber, 19, with Schreiber—also revealed the advice she’s given her daughter.
“Know why you’re there,” she recalled telling Kai ahead of her modeling debut. “You better love it because being self-employed is not the easiest thing. There’s no guarantee. We all have a pretty good work ethic in my family. So, I trust it’s going to go well.”
Indeed, Watts—who tied the knot with Billy Crudup in 2023—knows Kai is thriving in the industry. In fact, they even worked together on Simkhai’s fall 2026 campaign.
“She’s very professional,” Watts said of the mother-daughter campaign. “She loves what she does and is obsessed with fashion. It was really lovely. Any time I get to spend with my teenage kids is a win.”
