Naomi Watts and her daughter Kai Schreiber are serving tens across the board as the hosts of a glamorous fundraising event for the trans community in New York City.
The British-born n actress, 56, and her 16-year-old daughter dolled up in matching gold metallic ensembles for the sold-out Mother Daughter Holy Spirit party on Thursday night.
Naomi looked every inch the proud parent as she wrapped an arm around Kai’s waist and flaunted their mother-daughter likeness for the cameras.
The pair sported matching dramatic makeup with bronzed cheekbones, heavy eyeliner, as well as plum lipsticks, and both wore their blonde locks out.
Naomi finished her look with a pair of black leather trousers and a smart blazer, while Kai let her gold sequins do the talking.
In the next slide shared to her Stories, Naomi revealed the packed crowd at One for One – a new private venue in Midtown East created as a collaborative space for artists and culture makers.

Naomi Watts was one of the hosts for the NYC fundraising party held on May 22 for The Trans Justice Funding Project
‘We are so pleased to introduce Naomi Watts as a host of Holy Spirit, a party by to fundraise for the Trans Justice Funding Project,’ an announcement shared earlier this week read.
‘A parent’s love is important to every human on earth.
‘For trans people, the love and support of a parent can be absolutely crucial. Pictured, Naomi Watts is with her daughter in …owning MOTHER DAUGHTER.’
The Trans Justice Funding Project is a community-led funding initiative that was founded in 2012 to support grassroots, trans justice groups run by and for trans people in the United States.
Tickets for the event were priced at US$30 for trans people and US$65 for allies.
Naomi played the mum-of-Instagram as she snapped a photo of Kai cuddled up to Hari Nef, an openly transgender model and actress at the event.
The outing comes after the Mulholland Drive star shared never-before-seen photos of her daughter, Kai, and son Sasha, 17, on Mother’s Day earlier this month.
‘My heart is so full. Thank you Sasha and Kai for giving me motherhood,’ she said.

Naomi went on to also thank her current husband Billy Crudup for organising the family day: ‘And to Billy for the most wonderful day. Feeling so grateful.’
Kai came out as transgender in 2025 on Instagram, after making her her runway debut for Valentino during Paris Fashion Week in March.
‘I’m so eternally grateful that I’m so supported as a young transgender girl,’ the up-and-coming model and activist wrote.
‘But there are so many boys and girls like me who can’t say they have the same blessing.
‘Our job is to stand up and support those young beautiful lives, and the @aliforneycenter is helping us to do so.’
Kai’s father, actor Leiv Schrieber, also stood by her side at the Ali Forney Center’s A Place at the Table gala at The Glasshouse.
The Ali Forney Center is a New York City non-profit which provides shelter and healthcare services to LGBTQIA+ youth experiencing homelessness.
‘This isn’t just about representing the trans community,’ he said.
‘These are people who are being rejected. These are people who are experiencing the harshest version of humanity that we can offer, and some of them are not surviving it.’
‘We got to bear that in mind when we go out there and glam ourselves up and get ready to be seen, you know?’ Schreiber continued.
‘That what we’re doing is actually raising money for a community that desperately needs it.’
‘Kai is embracing her space in the trans community like never before,’ Liev said.
‘Kai is such a fighter,’ he added. ‘It’s important that she goes, “Hey, I am trans,” and, “Look at me.”‘
