Matt Damon's daughter Isabella turns heads at CFDA Awards in Luar crochet gown

Matt Damon had official business at the 2026 CFDA Fashion Awards on Monday — presenting Ralph Lauren with the American Menswear Designer of the Year award — but it was his 20-year-old daughter Isabella who drew the most attention on the red carpet at New York's American Museum of Natural History.

Isabella wore a white crochet floor-length gown from Luar's spring 2027 collection, its long sleeves and hem finished with cascading silky fringe. The dress featured intricate diamond-patterned openwork and a softly rounded neckline, giving the fitted design what Hello Magazine described as a playful finish. Her father kept things understated in a Ralph Lauren Purple Label double-breasted tuxedo worn over a black cashmere turtleneck, forgoing a shirt and tie.

The pair posed arm in arm for photographers and were photographed laughing together between shots. On the red carpet, Matt, 56, made clear he has high hopes for where his daughter's career is heading.

I'm really excited to see what she does with her life.— Matt Damon

Luar designer Raul Lopez weighed in on Instagram after Isabella posted photos from the evening, commenting 'Iconic sis 😍' on her post. She replied: 'You're a genius 😘,' according to Page Six.

Page Six Style exclusively reported that Isabella signed with IMG Models in August and has been steadily building her portfolio. Her September appearance in J.Crew's Barn Jacket campaign was among her early credits. The New York City-based label she wore Monday, Luar, counts several major celebrities among its clients: according to Page Six, Beyoncé donned a custom pinstriped Luar dress at Jay-Z's Yankee Stadium run in July, while Lady Gaga opted for a baby-blue Luar gown when she made a surprise cameo during Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show in February. The brand's connections to celebrity families extend further — it featured Solange's son Daniel 'Julez' Smith Jr. in its New York Fashion Week show in February 2024.

The CFDA Fashion Awards are the American fashion industry's leading annual honors. This year's ceremony was held at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City on November 2, 2026.

Why it matters — The appearance marks a public coming-out moment for Isabella Damon as a working model, underscoring how a new generation of celebrity children is stepping into the fashion industry on their own terms.
