John Travolta ‘so proud’ of his daughter Ella’s NYFW start

John Travolta is a doting dad.

The “Pulp Fiction” star has nothing but praise for his daughter Ella Bleu, who made her stylish New York Fashion Week debut.

Ella, 22, appeared at the Karl Lagerfeld runway show for their Cara Loves Karl capsule collection on Sept. 12. (The capsule was a collaboration with actress-model Cara Delevingne.)

The “Grease” alum, 68, shared a sweet belated tribute in honor of his daughter, posting a snap of her rocking a black lace look on Instagram.

“So proud of Ella’s debut at fashion week in New York City!” he captioned the snap.

Ella also attended the Kate Spade show at NYFW, wearing a white dress for the Sept. 9 event. “Thank you @katespadeny for having me! What an honor to attend this event and see your wonderful collection! Could not have asked for a better way to start my first Fashion Week,” she wrote last week as she showed off her look.

It appears performing runs in the family because Ella is also a singer, having released her first single titled “Dizzy” earlier this year.

She posted a video showing off her vocals in January, writing: “So happy and excited to say that my first single, ‘Dizzy,’ is out now!!!”

“It’s been a long time coming but I’m still that 14-year-old weird girl at heart and I love it,” she added.

The “Saturday Night Fever” star commented on her clip at the time: “I’m so very proud of you Ella, its amazing! Your thrilled Dad!”

Ella also was in the 2009 movie “Old Dogs” when she was only 9 years old, as well as 2019’s “The Poison Rose,” and will star in the forthcoming Alice in Wonderland film, “Get Lost.”

Travolta is dad to Ella as well as son Benjamin Travolta, 11, whom he shared with his late wife Kelly Preston.

The “Sky High” actress died in July 2020 at the age 57 of after a battle with breast cancer.

The couple were also parents of son Jett, who died in 2009 after a seizure.

At the time of her mom’s death, the model honored her with a loving tribute.

“I have never met anyone as courageous, strong, beautiful and loving as you,” Ella said. “Anyone who is lucky enough to have known you or to have ever been in your presence will agree that you have a glow and a light that never ceases to shine and that makes anyone around you feel instantly happy. Thank you for being there for me no matter what.”
