The Rookie Kids Fashion Show evolved into a family affair as famous parents filled the front rows to cheer on the next generation.
Children of stars including Ice-T and Coco, Lil’ Kim, and other entertainers confidently took the runway.
Yet Ice-T’s daughter Chanel and Lil’ Kim’s daughter Royal Reign emerged as two of the event’s brightest standouts.
Their poised walks and playful personalities quickly stole the spotlight, proving the fashion show belonged just as much to the famous kids as the celebrities cheering them on.
Held Thursday, July 30, at New York City’s Iron23, the annual event featured celebrity kids walking the runway in looks from popular brands alongside professional child models.

Ten-year-old Chanel Marrow let her bubbly persona shine as she walked with a dimpled smile. She modeled two outfits, including a Hurley sweatshirt paired with a pink skirt and brown boots.
“When your parents are Ice-T and Coco … but you’re the main character on the runway,” read text over a video of the trio on the red carpet.
