On her own Instagram, the Chicago star shared sweet black-and-white pics from Carys’s early years, and wrote a heartfelt message to her daughter, sharing, “Happy Birthday to my beautiful daughter @carys.douglas You are the joy of my life. 21 years of watching you blossom in to the most incredible woman you are today is a God given gift that I never take for granted and cherish every day of my life. Thank you for being you. I love you with all my heart ♥️ Mama.”
Carys, currently a film student at Brown, made her red carpet debut at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, accompanying her parents in a white Ellie Saab gown. She’s been her mom’s plus-one at fashion events for years, so it’s no surprise that she has impeccable taste. And since Catherine Zeta-Jones is basically her look-alike, what flatters one will probably flatter the other, and vice versa. Per her LinkedIn, Carys is also involved in food sustainability at school, and we have to imagine the choice to recycle her birthday dress was motivated in part by it being eco-friendly. So cool!
