Hollywood star Milla Jovovich and her look-alike daughter Ever Anderson enjoyed a memorable evening at the premiere of the film Dracula, held at the iconic TCL Chinese Theatre on Tuesday. The mother-daughter duo turned heads on the red carpet, radiating glamour and a strong familial connection.
Stylish Arrivals on the Red Carpet
The Ukrainian-born actress, aged 50, opted for a chic yet relaxed ensemble. She wore a baggy blue-denim jacket layered over a simple beige top, paired with a black mini-skirt and matching tights. Her look was accessorised with a striking stringy statement necklace and completed with elegant snakeskin pumps, showcasing her signature blend of edgy and sophisticated style.
Her 18-year-old daughter, Ever Anderson, made a bold fashion statement in a black-and-white striped mini-dress featuring midi-length sleeves. She complemented the outfit with beige slouchy boots, demonstrating a keen eye for contemporary trends. Anderson, often referred to as a nepo baby due to her famous lineage, carried herself with poise and confidence, hinting at her burgeoning career in the entertainment industry.
A Supportive Family Dynamic
The premiere highlighted the close-knit relationship between Jovovich and her eldest child. In a heartfelt tribute last November, Jovovich praised Anderson's dedication and talents. She remarked on her daughter's hard work towards A-levels in London, voracious reading habits, and skills as a young writer. Jovovich also commended Anderson's acting abilities, which have been honed through years of training and auditioning from an early age.
"You constantly work on yourself to grow and improve your skills in life, your health both physical and mental," Jovovich gushed. "You're so wise beyond your years, while still being the most fun person in the world to me." Anderson, in turn, has expressed appreciation for her mother's unwavering support, noting that Jovovich "always matches my freak," while Jovovich describes her daughter as an "unstoppable force of nature."
Family Connections and Career Highlights
Adding to the family affair, Jovovich's third husband, English director Paul W. S. Anderson, joined the pair on the red carpet. He sported a sleek all-black attire accented with red high-top sneakers, adding a touch of casual flair to the event. The couple, married for 16 years, are also parents to two younger daughters: 10-year-old Dashiel and six-year-old Osian.
Jovovich and Anderson first met in 2001 on the set of Resident Evil, Anderson's film adaptation of the Capcom video game, where Jovovich played the iconic role of Alice. Their professional collaboration continued last year with the dark sorceress fantasy In the Lost Lands, directed by Anderson. Despite its modest global box office earnings of $6.5 million, the project underscores their ongoing creative partnership.
In other family news, Jovovich's second ex-husband, Luc Besson, wrote and produced the 1990s-set action-thriller Father Joe, which stars Ever Anderson. In the film, she portrays a young woman guided by a violent priest, played by Kiefer Sutherland, marking a significant step in her acting career.
Future Projects and Endeavours
Looking ahead, Milla Jovovich is set to produce and star as war hero Nikki in Adrian Grunberg's action thriller Protector, scheduled for release in US theatres on March 6. The film features a supporting cast including Matthew Modine, D.B. Sweeney, and Isabel Myers, promising another exciting chapter in her diverse filmography.
This premiere not only celebrated the film Dracula but also showcased the enduring bond and individual successes of the Jovovich-Anderson family, from red carpet fashion to collaborative projects and heartfelt mutual admiration.
