Naomi Watts’ daughter Kai Schreiber has swapped the Paris catwalk for the streets of New York and turns heads during a casual outing in the Big Apple.
The 17-year-old aspiring model was spotted strolling through Downtown Manhattan in a striking ensemble.
Kai wore a black miniskirt paired with a white and navy striped long-sleeved top, completing the look with pointy black stilettos.
She carried a brown designer-style handbag over one shoulder as she smoked a cigarette.
Kai was joined by a friend who seemed to offer her a light.
The teen recently scored another major career milestone when she walked the runway for Dutch couture designer Iris van Herpen during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week.

For the high-fashion look, she turned heads in a shimmering, semi-sheer embellished dress covered in swirling crystal details.
She completed the futuristic ensemble with an elaborate sculptural headpiece that curved dramatically over her face.
Kai later shared images from the catwalk on Instagram and celebrated the achievement, writing: ‘I opened @irisvanherpen!!! All.’
The booking marked another important step in the teen’s burgeoning modeling career.
Kai made her catwalk debut for Valentino and has previously spoken openly about how the experience convinced her that modeling was the career she wanted to pursue.
“That job made me realize, ‘Okay, this is what I want to do,'” she told Interview Magazine. ‘”I want to be a supermodel. Period.”
She also revealed that she practiced her runway walk for years before landing her first big job in fashion.

Kai has long been supported by her mother Naomi Watts as she embarks on her modeling career
‘I’ve been practicing my walks in the kitchen for years; My mother can show you all the videos I forced her to film,” she said.
Despite her increasingly glamorous career, Kai says her everyday style is considerably more subdued.
‘I love my low-rise jeans and black cardigan. That’s my favorite outfit,” she told the publication, adding that she believes individuality is what makes fashion exciting.
Kai is the daughter of Australian actress Naomi and American actor Liev Schreiber, both of whom have publicly supported her journey.
Naomi has previously praised her daughter on social media following her Interview Magazine article, saying she was “proud” of her and that Kai “kept killing it.”
