Watch: Michael Douglas’ Kids Dylan and Carys Support Him During Rare Red Carpet Appearance
Carys Douglas has no reservations about borrowing from her mom’s closet.
In fact, when the 23-year-old stepped out to the Gucci x Moda Operandi event in New York City on November 11, she did so in a vintage top from the designer brand her mom Catherine Zeta-Jones wore back in the ‘90s.
The black lace top in question features a snap at the chest and features long sleeves. Carys styled the semi-sheer garment with a lacy black miniskirt, tights and a Gucci purse.
Back in 1996, however, Catherine—who shares Carys with husband Michael Douglas in addition 26-year-old son Dylan Michael Douglas—opted for a set, pairing the top with matching lacy leggings, a black bag and black heels. At the time, she donned the ensemble for the Los Angeles premiere of the film The Long Kiss Goodnight, which starred Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson.
As for Carys, she’s previously admitted she doesn’t mind donning the mask of Catherine when it comes to fashion.
“I love vintage clothes,” she told People in October 2025. “I’m not really into fast fashion stuff, just for sustainability reasons, so I feel very lucky that I have a wonderful closet that I can pick from.”

As for whether her mom was privy to her closet raids, Carys admitted, “I should probably tell her more, because I snag a little too much. She’s like, ‘Is that my bag?’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know. I don’t think so.’”
As for where her own career takes her, the Brown University graduate noted, “I grew up doing theater, and I didn’t study acting in school, but that’s why I’m happy to be in such an informative arts space, so hopefully more of that.”
Which is why she was more than ready to accompany her dad to the Nov. 4 Art of Freedom Gala 2026 in New York City, where he was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Tibet House US for his decades of peace advocacy.

Carys’ brother Dylan joined the father-daughter pair for the evening, making the event a truly special family affair for Michael, who is also dad to son Cameron, 47, with ex-wife Diandra Luker.
“A wonderful night in NYC with @carys.douglas and @dylan__douglas,” the Basic Instinct star wrote on Instagram at the time. “Thank you to @tibethouse.us for honoring me with the Art of Freedom Award. Truly grateful for this special recognition and for such a memorable evening!”
