The spotlight at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival wasn’t only on the films — it was also on a touching father-daughter appearance that instantly captured fans online.
When John Travolta stepped onto the red carpet with his daughter Ella Bleu Travolta, many couldn’t stop pointing out how much she resembled her late mother, Kelly Preston.
The actor attended Cannes on Friday, May 15, in classic polished style, but it was 26-year-old Ella who drew widespread admiration during their back-to-back festival appearances.
At the screening of Karma, Ella looked elegant in a black velvet floor-length gown featuring a soft rounded neckline and cap sleeves.
She completed the look with diamond earrings, delicate jewelry, and voluminous dark hair styled away from her face. Standing beside her, John wore a sleek black three-piece suit paired with a cream beret and round glasses, creating a sophisticated father-daughter red carpet moment.
