John Travolta’s daughter Ella Bleu Travolta made her Paris Fashion Week runway debut during Miu Miu’s Spring/Summer 2027 show, but her appearance quickly sparked another round of online debate over the growing number of celebrity children landing modeling opportunities.
The 26-year-old actress and singer joined the star-studded runway in Paris, walking alongside professional models in a look that featured a patterned blouse layered underneath a forest-green blazer. She paired the outfit with navy pants featuring a red stripe down the side and finished the look with flip-flops. Her brown hair was pulled back as she made her way down the runway.
Following her debut, some social media users questioned whether celebrity children are receiving too many opportunities in the fashion industry, with several commenters specifically criticizing Ella’s runway walk.

Social Media Reactions
“Why do only celebrities kids now model???” one person wrote.
Another said, “She’s pretty but she is not a model. Nepotism wins again. This only takes away opportunities from qualified candidates.”
“Why is it that these celebrities kids that’s ALL they aspire to do ……. be a model. They have every privilege and can do so much with their lives,” another commenter wrote.
Some users focused specifically on Ella’s runway walk. “Looks like she is walking through an airport terminal not a cat walk,” one person said.
Another simply wrote, “Horrible walk.”
“I really don't think she is model material. Maybe she could go for teaching?” another commenter added.
Ella is far from the only celebrity offspring to appear on the runway this season and land high-profile campaigns.
Other famous children who have stepped into the modeling world include Matthew McConaughey’s son Levi McConaughey, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s daughter Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s daughter Apple Martin, Britney Spears and Kevin Federline’s son Jayden James and David and Victoria Beckham’s son Romeo Beckham.
John Travolta's Kids
Ella previously made her runway debut during New York Fashion Week in 2022, making her latest appearance in Paris another step into the fashion world.
Outside of fashion, Ella has pursued a career in acting and music. She is one of three children John Travolta shared with his late wife, actress Kelly Preston.
The Grease actor and Preston married on Sept. 5, 1991, and remained together until Preston died from breast cancer on July 12, 2020, at age 57.
The couple welcomed their son Jett on April 13, 1992. He tragically died at age 16 on Jan. 2, 2009, while the family was vacationing in the Bahamas. Their youngest child, son Benjamin, was born on Nov. 23, 2010.
