Naomi Watts' Daughter Kai Schreiber Sizzles and Smokes Up Milan Fashion Week

Kai Schreiber, the daughter of Aussie actress Naomi Watts has definitely given her mother cause for concern

KAI SCHREIBER, NAOMI WATTS' DAUGHTER, CAUSES A STIR IN MILAN FASHION WEEK

The fashion world was abuzz with excitement as 16-year-old Kai Schreiber, the daughter of Aussie actress Naomi Watts, strutted her stuff down the catwalk at Milan Fashion Week. But little did we know that beneath the glamour and glitz, Kai was hiding a secret - or rather, a cigarette.

A photo posted by Kai on Instagram showed her puffing on what appeared to be a cigarette while sitting next to a friend who gave the camera a dramatic expression. The image sparked concern among fans of the model, who are worried that she may be breaking the law in Italy, where the legal smoking age is 18. Back in the US, Kai won't be able to light up until she turns 21.

After her turn at Milan Fashion Week on Thursday, Kai shared a photo to Instagram that showed her nonchalantly puffing on a cigarette

But this isn't the first time Kai has made headlines. Earlier on Thursday, she suffered an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction during Max Mara's Spring/Summer 2026 show. Footage from the runway showed Kai adjusting her black crop top with one hand as she continued to strut confidently down the catwalk. The moment was caught on camera and shared on social media, with fans praising Kai for handling the mishap like a pro.

The model later posted about the incident on Instagram, joking that it was all part of the show. "My top fell off at @maxmara lolz," she captioned the post. Fans were quick to respond, with one commenting, "Didn't even notice. I thought it was part of the show!"

But what's really caught our attention is Kai's journey with gender identity. In an interview with Interview Magazine back in June, Kai opened up about struggling with her identity from a young age and wanting to be a "beautiful, glamorous, influential woman" like Marilyn Monroe. She also named several trans icons as inspirations, including Alex Consani, Hunter Schafer, and Hari Nef.

The rebellious act is a definite 'no no' in Milan, with the legal smoking age in Italy being 18 years of age. Similarly, in Kai's native US, she wont be able to light up legally until she turns 21

It's clear that Kai is using her platform to promote acceptance and inclusivity in the fashion world. As she told Interview Magazine, "I'm always going to look up to the older generation of transgender people, especially in fashion... It's so great that there's a strong community of us in the fashion world; it's really a doll takeover."

But not everyone is happy about Kai's rise to fame. Insiders claim that Naomi Watts is "concerned" about her daughter's antics, particularly after she was spotted smoking at just 16 years old. We're told that Naomi has been trying to keep a close eye on Kai as she navigates the cutthroat world of fashion.

Meanwhile, Liev Schreiber, Kai's father, seems to be focusing on his own life. The actor recently welcomed a new daughter with his partner Taylor Neisen, and it's clear that he's put the drama behind him. Sources close to the couple claim that they're "thrilled" about their new addition and are enjoying every moment of parenthood.

As for Naomi Watts, we can't help but wonder if she's feeling a little left out. After all, her husband Billy Crudup recently welcomed twins with his partner Alice Kim - talk about drama! But it seems like Naomi is taking it all in stride, using her platform to promote love and acceptance.
