Molly Ringwald and her teenage son, Roman Stylianos Gianopoulos, brought a heartwarming mother-and-son moment to New York Fashion Week on Tuesday. They walked the runway for Lingua Franca’s Fall RTW 2025 show at The Bowery Hotel, marking the brand’s first-ever NYFW presentation. Their appearance turned heads as they confidently strutted down the runway together.
The 56-year-old actress shares Roman, his twin sister, Adele, and 20-year-old daughter, Mathilda, with her husband, writer Panio Gianopoulos. While Ringwald has spent years in the spotlight, it looks like Roman is stepping into it with just as much ease.
Molly Ringwald’s son has a lot in common with her
Roman is not just strutting with his mom onto the runway, he genuinely shares her love for fashion and creative expression. Their NYFW moment was just one of many they have shared, as their bond goes beyond events and red carpets.
Last summer, Ringwald posted a sweet photo of her and Roman at Cape Sounion in Greece. She joked about how tall he had gotten, calling him her “beautiful boy” and adding an upward arrow to show just how much he towered over her.
What did Molly Ringwald and her son wear for the Lingua Franca fashion show?
Roman kept things casual but stylish as he sported a black T-shirt with “The Bowery Hotel” printed across the front. He layered with a gray hooded sweatshirt, accompanying the look with tan suede shorts, a pair of beige mid-calf socks, and black suede slipper loafers.
Ringwald embraced bold elegance with a silk midi dress covered in bright red and white stripes. The skirt had pleats that made the colors stand out even more. Over it, she wore a deep olive knit cardigan decorated with bright orange, red, and blue floral embroidery and finished up with royal blue velvet platform clogs.
