John Travolta and his daughter, Ella Bleu, appeared together in coordinated black outfits at the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday, May 20, 2026 [1, 2].
The appearance marks a rare red-carpet moment for the pair as they promoted the premiere of "Karma" [2, 3], the directorial debut for Travolta.
Travolta, 72, wore a beret for the event [1, 2]. His daughter, 26, coordinated her look with his in black attire [1, 3]. The pairing drew significant attention from attendees and media due to the physical similarities between the father and daughter [1].
During the event, Travolta said, "a star is born" [1].
While some reports identified the premiere as being for a project titled "Propeller One-Way Night Coach," other sources listed the film as "Karma" [3, 4]. The event took place in Cannes, France, as part of the 2026 festival circuit [2, 3].
“"a star is born"”
The event signals John Travolta's transition into film direction with the release of "Karma." By appearing with Ella Bleu, who is often noted for her resemblance to her father, Travolta leverages a personal family connection to generate publicity for his first venture behind the camera.
