Celebrity Kids' Red Carpet Debuts
The red carpet can be an overwhelming place, especially for a child. You’re surrounded by celebrities, elaborate ball gowns, and all those flashing lights; it can be overwhelming for a kid, but luckily, they have celebrity parents to help guide them along the way. In fact, over the years, we’ve seen some really sweet red carpet debuts from some of our favorite celebrities’ children, ranging from Keke Palmer’s newborn to Ali Larter having her kids on the red carpet for the first time when one of them is a teenager.
Making your red carpet debut, whether you’re a child or a celebrity, is a big thing. We’re sure kids are agonizing over every little detail (and, let’s face it, are probably super excited about everything). So many celebrities keep their children away from the public eye, from public events to social media. Still, every once in a while, they let their children come out and play on the red carpet, giving the celebrity kiddo an adorable red carpet debut.
Since we are now in award season, chances are we may see another beloved celebrity child make their red carpet debut (and of course, do it in style). So, ahead of the many, many red carpets that 2025 will bring us, let’s take a walk down memory lane.
Below, check out the most adorable red carpet debuts from these celebrity’s kids.
