A 1996 Gucci Lace Top Returns as Catherine Zeta-Jones’ Daughter Carys Flaunts Mom’s Worn Look 30 Years Later
A vintage Gucci look revisited
Catherine Zeta-Jones first wore the top in 1996, when she attended the Los Angeles premiere of The Long Kiss Goodnight. She styled it with matching lacy leggings, a black bag and black heels.
Carys on borrowing clothes
Carys has spoken about enjoying vintage fashion. “I love vintage clothes,” she told People in October 2025, adding that she avoids fast fashion for sustainability reasons and feels lucky to have access to her mother’s closet.
She also acknowledged that she does not always tell her mother when she borrows something. “I should probably tell her more, because I snag a little too much,” Carys said, recalling that Zeta-Jones sometimes asks whether a bag belongs to her.
Family appearances and future plans
Carys, a Brown University graduate, said she grew up doing theater and hopes to pursue more arts opportunities. She accompanied her father, Michael Douglas, to the Art of Freedom Gala in New York City on November 4, 2026, where Tibet House US honored him with a Lifetime Achievement Award for decades of peace advocacy.
Her brother Dylan joined them at the gala. Michael Douglas also has a son, Cameron, with his ex-wife Diandra Luker.
