It's March 9th in Durham, let's get into the news. Amy Adams made a rare public outing with her 15-year-old daughter, Aviana, at the LaCose Show during Paris Fashion Week. The 51-year-old actress, who shares Aviana with husband Darren Legallo, also 51, posed arm and arm with her on the red carpet Sunday, March 8th. The mother-daughter pair both went for sleek looks, with Adams in a leather jacket over a black t-shirt and Aviana in a green turtle neck tucked into a navy skirt. They styled their Auburn hair parted down the middle for the stylish evening. This comes after their last joint appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2024, where Darren joined them, too. The family tends to stay out of the spotlight, but stepped out together, back in 2017, for Adams's Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony. Susan Darren met in an acting class in 2001, and got married in an intimate ceremony in Santa Barbara in 2015. They welcome Aviana that same year in 2010.
Aviana keeps a low profile, but popped up in a small row in her mom's 2022 film, Disenchanted. Fans always love seeing these sweet family moments. This story is made possible by our sponsor.
