Attention, Upper East Siders! Kelly Rutherford, our forever favorite Gossip Girl mom, just made a public appearance so rare, it’s basically like spotting Bigfoot in a beret. The 56-year-old actress turned heads as she hit the Patou Menswear Fall-Winter 2025/2026 Fashion Show in Paris this weekend. But wait—she didn’t come alone. Oh no. She brought her secret weapon: her 18-year-old son, Hermés. Yes, Hermés. Like the luxury brand. Coincidence? We think not.
Kelly, effortlessly chic as always, made it clear that even off-screen, she still oozes that Upper East Side flair. Meanwhile, Hermés, rocking the confidence of a teenager who knows he’s named after a designer, was the perfect accessory—no offense to her Patou ensemble.
If you’re scratching your head wondering, “Who’s Hermés’ dad?” Let’s spill the tea: Kelly shares Hermés and his 15-year-old sister Helena with her ex-husband, Daniel Giersch. (Remember him? No? That’s okay. Let’s focus on Kelly serving looks and parenting goals instead.)
But Kelly and Hermés weren’t the only ones blessing Paris with their presence. Oh no, the front row was stacked. Katie Holmes was there, probably scouting a new chic coat to pair with her infamous Y2K jeans. Mindy Kaling showed up, likely brainstorming her next rom-com series while sipping on champagne. Zooey Deschanel probably brought her trademark adorkable vibes. And let’s not forget Debi Mazar (Younger fans, rejoice), Pauline Chalamet (yes, Timmy’s sister, calm down), and a parade of stars, models, and influencers whose outfits collectively screamed, “We didn’t come to play; we came to slay.”
It was fashion, fame, and family vibes in the city of lights. And Kelly? She proved once again that she’s not just a Gossip Girl alum—she’s a walking, talking reminder that style runs in her blood…and apparently, in her son’s too.
