“Kai Schreiber, the daughter of Aussie actress Naomi Watts, has given her famous mother cause for concern.”, — write: www.dailymail.co.uk
The model, 16, took to Instagram on Thursday, following her catwalk turn at Milan Fashion Week, to share a seemingly innocuous black and white photo.
The image showed Kai sitting next to a friend, who offered the camera a dramatic expression.
However, Kai was puffing on what appeared to be a cigarette in the snap.
The rebellious act is a ‘no no’ in Milan, with the legal smoking age in Italy being 18 years of age. Similarly, in Kai’s native US, she won’t be able to light up legally until she turns 21.
Kai was channelling quite the rocker look in the image.
She was wearing a black leather military-style jacket that featured an array of brass buttons.
Kai also wore a black and white striped top underneath the jacket, and finished the look with a pair of light blue denim jeans.
She also accessorised with a black leather shoulder bag, which sat next to her on the pavement.
It comes after Kai suffered an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction on the runway at Milan Fashion Week.
She stormed the catwalk at Max Mara’s Spring/Summer 2026 show on Thursday. However, things went awry when her black crop top started slipping down.
Footage from the runway showed Kai subtly adjusting her top with one hand as she continued to strut confidently down the catwalk.
Not one to take herself too seriously, the transgender model later shared the video to her Instagram page alongside the caption: ‘My top fell off at @maxmara lolz.’
Fans praised the budding supermodel for the professional manner in which she handled the mishap, with one commenting: ‘Didn’t even notice. I thought it was part of the show!’
Kai recently opened up about her journey with gender identity – and a major role model in her life.
She told Interview Magazine in June that she has studied how people in the transgender community have navigated stormy waters in the past.
Kai said she had struggled ‘with gender identity from a young age’ and ‘always wanted to grow up and be a beautiful, glamorous, influential woman, like Marilyn Monroe.’
She also named figures she found inspirational ‘as a young trans girl’ navigating life through turbulent times for the community.
‘I’m always going to look up to the older generation of transgender people, especially in fashion,’ Kai told the magazine.
‘People like Alex Consani, Hunter Schafer, Hari Nef, Dara, Richie Shazam, Colin Jones, and so many more,’ Kai said.
‘It’s so great that there’s a strong community of us in the fashion world; it’s really a doll takeover.’
Kai is the youngest child of Naomi Watts and fellow actor Liev Schreiber. The couple also share a son, Sacha, 17.
The couple, who never married, announced their split in 2016, and have both since moved on with other partners.
Naomi went on to marry fellow actor Billy Crudup in June 2023, while Liev married Taylor Neisen in July of the same year.
Liev and Taylor welcomed their daughter Hazel Bee, now two, in August 2023.
