Dream Kardashian, the eight-year-old daughter of Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna, walked the runway at New York Fashion Week on Saturday, appearing in the Indie Fashion Show in a midnight-blue double-breasted dress with puffy sleeves and black Converse sneakers. It was the youngster’s first time on a New York Fashion Week runway, though she has modeled previously.
The appearance continued a trend of children of celebrities appearing in fashion campaigns and on catwalks, joining names such as the Hadid sisters, Kaia Gerber, Hailey Bieber, Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban and Kendall Jenner who have modeled from a young age. Dream walked with her hair in a ponytail and bangs framing her face, and finished the look with a casual sneaker choice.
Dream’s runway appearance comes as her mother, Blac Chyna, has maintained a high public profile documenting changes in her personal life and appearance. In recent months Chyna has shared updates about a weight-loss transformation, a reversal of some past cosmetic procedures and a sobriety journey she has marked publicly. Chyna has also been promoting a new film, Pardon Me, and regularly posts images and video of her children on social media.
Chyna and Rob Kardashian began a high-profile relationship in 2016 that included an engagement and a reality television spin-off, Rob & Chyna. The couple later broke up and engaged in a contentious custody dispute over Dream; both parents currently say they are co-parenting. Chyna is also mother to King Cairo, 12, whom she had with rapper Tyga.
In an interview with People earlier this month, Chyna described the siblings as close despite their age gap and differing fathers. "King is definitely protective of Dream, and Dream of King," she said, adding that King "loves Dream" and often teases her. Chyna described her parenting style as relaxed and said she actively balances both children’s activities, noting that she spends much of her days ferrying them to sports, classes and outings.
Dream’s runway moment underscores the continuing visibility of celebrity families in fashion and entertainment. Child models from well-known families have appeared increasingly in brand campaigns and fashion weeks, drawing attention both for the labels and the celebrity connections of participants.
Organizers of New York Fashion Week and the Indie Fashion Show did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Representatives for Chyna and Rob Kardashian did not provide immediate comment on Dream’s appearance.
Dream’s appearance at the Indie Fashion Show adds to a series of public outings for the family this year, as Chyna continues to document family life on social platforms while marking milestones in her personal recovery and career pursuits. Observers and fans of celebrity fashion will likely watch whether Dream’s runway work expands to other shows or brand campaigns in the coming months.
