Keri Russell's Daughter Looks Just Like Her Famous Mom
Keri Russell's daughter, Willa Lou Dreary, would be her mom's mini-me — except Willa actually towers over her mom! Willa, who turned 13 in December 2025, made her first public appearance alongside her famous mother at Paris Fashion Week in October 2026. We're used to seeing Russell stun on the red carpet, but in photos from the event, it's clear Willa could be her mom's twin, as they have such similar features.
At the Louis Vuitton 2027 Spring/Summer Fashion Show on October 6, Willa posed in photos next to Russell herself. She looked so grown up in a reddish-pink jacket and matching mini skirt, with bright red stitching, a red zipper, and red buttons that matched her red Louis Vuitton handbag. Willa's dark brown hair was pulled back in a ponytail, and she wore subtle makeup with pink cheeks and light mascara. A pair of pretty black-and-tan pumps completed the look that was so sophisticated for a 13-year-old. She's definitely one of those celeb kids who inherited their parents' famous style!
"The Diplomat" star also wore her hair up, with darker eye makeup than her daughter. She was dressed in a dramatic white blouse with structured, pointy shoulders, a stark collar turned up, and unbuttoned sleeves that covered her hands. Russell paired it with a short black mini skirt and black heels, with a brown Louis Vuitton purse clutched in one hand, looking gorgeous.

Russell and Willa even posed alike, which could either mean Russell taught Willa what to do, the kid learned by watching her mom, or simply looking like a professional model is in her genes. Both mother and daughter stood with one knee bent and the other straight, making their legs pop. They smiled for the camera with one arm around the other's waist, and the other arm relaxed and holding their purses. It looked effortless, yet it showed off both of their outfits perfectly. Russell and Willa have the same long legs, round noses, and slightly upturned smiles, cementing their twinning status. In fact, they look so alike that we would believe them if they claimed they were sisters.
Keri Russell and her daughter don't always see eye-to-eye
They may look alike, but that doesn't mean Keri Russell and her daughter, Willa Lou Deary, always agree on things — like Russell's acting work. In a February 2023 "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" appearance, Russell said she introduced her daughter to her famous WB series, "Felicity," and it didn't go according to plan.
"My daughter like about a year ago — and she's kind of mature for her age — and she was kind of bored one day, and I said, 'Hey, you know, Willa, I did this show about this college girl, and you might think it's cool,'" Russell told host Jimmy Kimmel. Willa's reaction was not what Russell was expecting, however. Willa, then just 11 years old, couldn't even finish one episode before turning it off! "Ugh, mom, that's so cringey," Russell recalled Willa telling her.
There is another way Willa is just like her mom, other than her appearance. She appreciates the luxuries that come with being a celebrity (and who could blame her?). In an October 2026 interview with Hello!, Russell revealed that she invited her daughter to Paris Fashion Week when her partner, Matthew Rhys, couldn't make it at the last minute. And while we might have missed seeing more loved-up snaps of Russell and Rhys, the proud mom turned the trip into a girls' day instead and stayed at a fancy hotel, which Willa loved.
"And I just said to her, 'We will never stay in a room this nice ... again. So don't get used to this'" Russell told the outlet. She added, "And we were leaving and she said, 'I don't want to leave Paris.' I was like, 'No one wants to leave Paris.'" She's doing her best to keep her daughter grounded, and we love to see it!
