John Travolta and his daughter Ella Bleu Travolta turned heads at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, where fans couldn’t stop talking about how much Ella resembles her late mother, Kelly Preston.
The father-daughter duo appeared together at the premiere of Propeller One-Way Night Coach, John’s directorial debut for Apple TV+. Ella stunned in elegant black and white outfits while John wore classic all-black looks with his signature beret and glasses.
Social media quickly filled with comments praising Ella’s beauty and noting her strong resemblance to Kelly Preston. Many called her “her mother’s twin” and said Kelly would be proud.
Kelly Preston passed away in 2020 after battling breast cancer, leaving behind John, Ella, and their son Benjamin. Since then, Ella has quietly built her acting career, appearing in several projects alongside her father, including The Poison Rose and the upcoming thriller Black Tides.
John has often spoken proudly about Ella, describing her as graceful, kind, and completely her own person. At Cannes, fans saw more than just a celebrity daughter — they saw a rising star carrying both her parents’ legacy.
