Naomi Watts and her daughter Kai Schreiber have teamed up for their first joint fashion campaign, appearing as the new faces of Simkhai’s Fall 2026 collection. The mother-daughter duo were photographed by Mikael Jansson, with styling by Camilla Nickerson, for a series of in-studio images.
Watts, 57, and Schreiber, 17, are featured alongside models Sage Elesser, Malcolm McRae, Awar Odhiang, and Betsy Gaghan. The campaign highlights an understated black-and-white palette, emphasizing textures and materials.
While Watts and Schreiber previously appeared together in The Face magazine in March, this marks their first time starring in a fashion campaign. Watts told Elle that the collaboration felt right, especially given her prior work with designer Jonathan Anderson.
Schreiber, who began her modeling career about a year ago, made her runway debut in March 2025 at the Valentino show during Paris Fashion Week. She has since walked for brands including Jean Paul Gaultier, Jason Wu, Fendi, and Celine, and appeared in her own Valentino ad campaign.
Watts shared that her daughter has a natural understanding of fashion and knows what looks good on her. The influence appears to be mutual, as Schreiber has taken an interest in Watts's early 2000s wardrobe, claiming some of her favorite pieces.
"I want to be a supermodel. Period," Schreiber told Interview Magazine last summer. "I’ve been practicing my walks in the kitchen for years; my mom can show you all the videos I forced her to film."
Watts also noted that she often asks Schreiber for input on her outfits for events, indicating a shared passion for fashion within the family. Watts is also mother to son Sasha, 19, with ex Liev Schreiber.
