On October 19, 2024, John Travolta generated buzz online when he attended The Fourth Annual Academy Museum Gala with his eldest daughter, Ella Bleu Travolta. Their red carpet photos sparked discussions among netizens, who debated whether Ella resembles her late mother, Kelly Preston, or her father.

John joined other stars at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, California. He and Ella posed together for photographs, with Ella linking her arm through her father’s as they flashed smiles for the cameras.

One user commented, “The older she gets, the more she resembles Kelly Preston. What a beautiful young woman. You’ve done a great job, John; you must be so proud!” Another added, “Ella’s likeness to her mother Kelly is remarkable; she’s stunning!”

Their appearance at the gala followed another notable outing on August 3, 2024, at the Paris Olympics, where the Emmy Award winner and his daughter attracted attention as they entered the Bercy Arena. They attended to cheer on Team USA’s gymnasts, and many fans remarked on the striking similarities between them.

In April 2024, Ella revealed her new bob haircut on Instagram, showcasing how her dark brown hair was styled to beautifully frame her face. The photo, taken against a backdrop of large windows, highlighted the outdoor scenery, adding to the fresh look she presented.
