Catherine Zeta-Jones’ daughter, Carys Zeta Douglas, recently borrowed another iconic look from her mother’s closet. The 22-year-old lookalike posed on the red carpet in a lace-accented black dress—a frock the movie star famously wore 20 years ago to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Carys was joined by her father, Michael Douglas, at the PAC NYC Icons of Culture Gala. Although Catherine Zeta-Jones was not present on the carpet, Carys paid tribute to her mom by wearing the vintage dress. Michael Douglas told People that Zeta-Jones couldn’t attend the event because “she’s working,” adding, “I’m sorry Catherine’s missing it tonight.”
“I’m very happy that Carys could be with me, just to be with her, but also I’m on the board here at PAC,” he said.
The Brown University graduate styled the vintage piece with pointed black heels and ruby-hued earrings. Douglas, 81, wore a black suit paired with a collared shirt and purple tie for the occasion, posing alongside his daughter on Tuesday night’s red carpet.
Originally, Zeta-Jones styled the dress in 2005 with black fringed stilettos and a matching clutch, complemented by a diamond pendant necklace and earrings. Actress Keira Knightley also wore the same dress a year earlier at the “King Arthur” premiere, according to Page Six.
This isn’t the first time Carys has borrowed one of her mother’s designer dresses. She previously wore her mom’s pink and white floral Ungaro dress to celebrate her 21st birthday. Zeta-Jones herself wore that frock in 1999 to the MTV Movie Awards.
The aspiring actress told People that she feels “very lucky that I have a wonderful closet that I can pick from,” referring to her mom’s wardrobe. “I feel I love vintage clothes. I don’t really like to buy. I’m not really into fast fashion stuff, just for sustainability reasons,” she shared.
Carys admitted that sometimes she borrows “a little too much” from her mom. “She’s like, ‘Is that my bag?’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know. I don’t think so,’” she joked.
While on the red carpet Tuesday night, Carys also gave an update on her plans post-college. Although she earned a degree in film and international relations rather than acting, she grew up doing theater and hopes to continue pursuing it after graduation.
Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are also parents to son Dylan, who is another Brown University graduate. Michael Douglas is a father to Cameron Douglas from his first marriage to Diandra Luker.
Douglas and Zeta-Jones married on November 18, 2000, after meeting two years earlier. The couple briefly separated in August 2013 but reconciled the following year.
