Kai Schreiber has ticked off a major milestone after opening the Jason Wu show at New York Fashion Week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The daughter of\u00a0Naomi Watts<\/a> and Liev Schreiber<\/a> took to the runway on Sunday wearing Wu’s COLLAGE Spring 2026 collection, a tribute to Rauschenberg\u2019s 100th birthday.<\/p>\n

The transgender<\/a> model turned heads in a white bralette and abstract skirt, which accentuated her long, trim pins and slender figure.<\/p>\n

Strutting across the room in a pair of white heels, the 16-year-old maintained a serious visage as she made her way around the venue.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her signature blonde locks fell across her shoulders in straight strands and her high cheekbones were on full display as she boasted a natural, pared-back makeup look.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kai recently spoke in-depth about her gender identity struggle – and a major role model in her life.<\/p>\n

The daughter of Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber took to the runway on Sunday wearing Wu’s COLLAGE Spring 2026 collection, a tribute to Rauschenberg\u2019s 100th birthday\u00a0<\/p>\n

She told Interview Magazine in June that she has studied how people in the transgender community navigated stormy waters in the past.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The daughter of the Ray Donovan star, 57, and two-time Oscar nominee, 56, named figures she found inspirational ‘as a young trans girl’ navigating life through turbulent times for the community.<\/p>\n

‘I’m always going to look up to the older generation of transgender people, especially in fashion,’ Kai told the magazine.<\/p>\n

‘People like Alex Consani, Hunter Schafer, Hari Nef, Dara, Richie Shazam, Colin Jones, and so many more,’ Kai said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It’s so great that there’s a strong community of us in the fashion world; it’s really a doll takeover.’<\/p>\n

The second-generation star said that she had a breakthrough earlier this year when working for the fashion house Valentino.<\/p>\n

‘That job made me realise, “OK, this is what I want to do. I want to be a supermodel.” Period.’<\/p>\n

Kai opened up to the publication about what she\u2019s been doing in terms of honing her craft as a regular presence on the catwalk.<\/p>\n

‘I’ve been practising my walks in the kitchen for years; my mom can show you all the videos I forced her to film,’ Kai said.<\/p>\n

Kai also opened up about her fashion preferences in the wide-ranging chat with the publication – joking she’s ‘basic, but in a chic way.’<\/p>\n

Kai said of her couture choices: ‘I love my low-rise jeans and black cardigan. That’s my go-to outfit. I love when people have their own personal style.<\/p>\n

‘If you’re presenting yourself in a unique, cool way, people are immediately drawn in and want to know more. If every person was walking around in the same outfit, fashion wouldn’t be a thing.’<\/p>\n
