Jessica Biel made a rare public appearance over the weekend, joining her husband, Justin Timberlake, and their two children at a charity fashion show for the Global Down Syndrome Foundation in Denver.
Biel, 42, walked the runway alongside her 9-year-old son, Silas, 4-year-old Phineas, and her 5-year-old niece, Zaya, who has Down syndrome. The event, which took place on Saturday, honored Zaya as the foundation’s ambassador at the 16th Annual Be Beautiful Be Yourself Fashion Show.
The actress, known for her role in *7th Heaven*, looked elegant in a black jumpsuit adorned with black feathers across the chest and shoulders. She paired the outfit with a blunt bob haircut and minimal makeup. Zaya led the procession, walking proudly in front of her aunt and cousins.
After the event, Biel shared her gratitude on social media, posting photos from the night, including one with Zaya’s parents, Justin Biel and Rose Biel. She captioned the post: “Last night was truly special at the #BeBeautifulBeYourself fashion show. Walking the runway with my amazing niece @lovelyzayab was an unforgettable honor.”
She continued, thanking the foundation for its impactful work: “Huge thanks to the @globaldownsyndrome foundation for creating such a profound, empowering event and for all the incredible work you do. My heart is so full. ”
While Biel attended the event with her family, Timberlake, 43, was not present, as he is currently on tour. The couple, married since 2012, typically share only limited glimpses of their children on social media.
The event, which aims to raise awareness for individuals with Down syndrome, celebrated both fashion and empowerment, with Zaya’s role as ambassador being a highlight of the night.
