Carys Douglas Revives Her Mother’s Iconic Lace Dress at the PAC NYC Gala
Carys Zeta Douglas joined her father, Michael Douglas, at the Icons of Culture Gala held at the Perelman Performing Arts Center in New York City in late November 2025. Michael, who serves on the center’s board, attended the event with his 22-year-old daughter.
The young star opted for a striking black lace slip dress once worn by her mother, Catherine Zeta-Jones, to the 2005 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. The gown’s sheer lace overlay and figure-skimming silhouette made it instantly recognizable to longtime fans of Zeta-Jones.

In an interview with People, the Brown University graduate shared the reason behind her choice. “I love vintage clothes. I’m not into fast fashion; I like to reuse, restyle, and borrow from my mom’s closet,” she explained. Sustainability, she added, plays a major role in her wardrobe decisions.
The gala, hosted by PAC NYC, honored figures whose work has shaped contemporary culture. Designer Diane von Furstenberg was among this year’s honorees, and the night featured a mix of live performances and tributes celebrating creativity across generations.
On the red carpet, Carys and her father posed for photographers, drawing attention for their effortless family charm. Her vintage gown, nearly two decades old, became one of the evening’s most talked-about looks, not only for its elegance but also for its meaningful nod to her mother’s legacy.
After earning her degree in Film and International Relations, the younger Douglas has shown growing interest in the performing arts. Earlier this year, she told People that she hopes to explore both acting and theater production, blending her academic background with her creative roots.

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, who married in 2000, share two children: Carys and Dylan. Though the family occasionally steps into the spotlight for public events, they tend to maintain a relatively private life.
At the PAC NYC gala, the moment carried an added layer of nostalgia. Nearly twenty years after Catherine Zeta-Jones turned heads in the same lace gown, her daughter reintroduced it to the red carpet with her own confident, modern twist, a quiet tribute to timeless style and the enduring bond between generations.
Sydney Sweeney arrived at the SCAD Savannah Film Festival in Georgia wearing a white Stella McCartney mini dress that showed that minimal styling can still stand out.

The one-shoulder was defined by gathered detailing that added a subtle twist. She complemented the outfit with white heels, which kept the look unified. The unexpected detail was when she skipped accessories. Her blonde bob added a fresh, modern edge.
However, the evening carried deeper meaning beyond style. Sydney was honored to receive the Spotlight Award for her role in an upcoming film set for November release. The award marked an milestone in her acting career.

What made the outfit noticeable was the ruching across her body and waist. It created texture without looking overdone. Sydney knows how to master when it comes to red carpet dressing.

Jenner opened the show in the original ‘Black Diamond’ costume. Black and silver corseted dress designed by the costume designers, Catherine Martin and Angus Strathie. The outfit glittered and the high-low skirt had crystals, sequins, and bugle beads that were covered in a fish-scale motif. The look carried the similar aura as Kidman’s character.
She styled it with black fishnet tights and embellished Mary Jane heels. Then she accessorized with a crystal top hat by Rosie Boylan. It captured the spirit of classic Hollywood. She completed the look with diamond drop earrings, allowing the focus to be on the outfit. This was not just a look, it was a symbolic reunion of fashion and film.
Kendall Jenner: Instagram
Nicole Kidman herself showed up earlier performing, “Put the Blame on Mame,” in a custom black satin Chanel gown that was designed by Matthieu Blazy. While Kendall walked on the runaway, it felt like a Hollywood icon passed the light to another generation. The confidence in Jenner’s expression completely sold the look. She wore it with ease and brings back something timeless.
Although it was a celebration of the connection between fashion and film honoring the costume designers, stylists, and storytellers, Kendall’s walk reminded us that cinema and fashion continue to shape culture.
