Laura Dern Beams With Pride as Her 17-Year-Old Son Ellery Makes His NYFW Runway Debut

Laura Dern has had a ton of professional milestones — winning an Emmy for her role in Big Little Lies comes to mind — but when it comes to her personal life, her pride and joy seems to be being a mom. And as Hollywood royalty herself, it's no surprise that Laura's children would find themselves in the spotlight, too. On Tuesday, Laura arrived in style for the Calvin Klein runway show during NYFW to watch a very special model: her 17-year-old son, Ellery Walker Harper. After posing for photos solo and with actress Saoirse Ronan, Laura took her front-row seat next to rapper A$AP Rocky and Game of Thrones star Gwendoline Christie to watch her son hit the runway, and was basically beaming while checking out the show. Ellery is Laura's oldest child with her ex-husband, musician Ben Harper; they also share 13-year-old daughter Jaya, who accompanied her mom at the SAG Awards back in January.

Ellery's runway debut has been a long time in the making; back in February, he brought his famous mom along as his date for Calvin Klein's Fall 2018 presentation, where he was an invited guest of designer Raf Simons. Ellery revealed at the time that he was originally asked to walk in the show, but that his dad "had different opinions." "He wanted him to wait a little bit more," Laura chimed in. We're glad to see that Ellery finally got his chance! Keep reading to see the sweet photos of Laura watching her son on the catwalk.
