Actress Kelly Rutherford makes a rare public appearance with her 17-year-old son, Hermes, at Paris Fashion Week 2025, marking their first joint outing in over a decade. The mother-son duo attended both the Chanel and Rahul Mishra shows, with Hermes even surpassing his mother in height.
Kelly Rutherford made a very rare public appearance with her 17-year-old son, Hermes Gustaf Daniel Giersch, in Paris on Monday. This marked the first time in over a decade that the actress posed for photos with her son. The mother-son duo attended two prominent Parisian fashion events , the Chanel show and the Rahul Mishra event, as part of Paris Fashion Week 2025. Notably, Hermes has surpassed his mother in height. He sported a dark suit with a light shirt and neatly slicked-back hair.
For her outings, Rutherford donned a black dress at Chanel and a floral-print dress with a low-cut neckline, black heels, and a handbag at Rahul. Rutherford also has a 15-year-old daughter named Helena. The children's father is Kelly's ex-husband, German businessman Daniel Giersch, 50. The couple's relationship ended in a highly publicized and contentious international custody battle that reportedly cost Rutherford over $2 million.The former couple wed in 2006 and separated in 2009. They were granted joint custody of their children by a Monaco judge. At the time, Hermes was two years old, and Rutherford was pregnant with Helena. However, the situation became complex when the judge ruled that the children must reside full-time with Giersch in Monaco due to his revoked work visa, preventing him from returning to the United States. The judge instructed Rutherford to relocate to Monaco or make frequent visits to see her children.Rutherford faced considerable legal expenses, estimated at nearly $2 million. To continue the fight for full custody of her children, she was compelled to declare bankruptcy. The custody battle spanned six years. The actress last walked a red carpet with her children in 2015, a decade ago, at the Hamptons. In October, she told Travel + Leisure that she enjoys the tranquility of Monaco. 'It's actually quite peaceful,' Rutherford stated. 'It's the opposite of what everyone thinks it is, for me at least. It's a place you can come and really just be quiet.' She added, 'In the wintertime, it's very quiet, very private, and very peaceful. It's like the Hamptons in the summer versus the Hamptons in the winter.'Rutherford leads a more relaxed lifestyle in Monaco. 'I just walk the dogs, hang out with the kids, and run errands,' she shared. In addition to the Chanel and Rahul events, the mother-son duo was also spotted at the Patou Menswear Fall-Winter 2025/2026 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on January 26th. Rutherford has fond memories of Monaco, particularly its historical significance. 'Grace Kelly really created this beautiful feeling here,' she remarked. 'She invited all the Hollywood people to Monaco early on and made it very glamorous.' She observed that Monaco has evolved into a 'cultural center' while retaining its traditional charm and beauty
