Tess Daly and Vernon Kay's eldest daughter is set to follow in her parents' footsteps after making a gentle entry into the world of red carpets and glitzy events.
Phoebe, 19, is the eldest of the couple's two children and enjoyed a childhood away from the spotlight alongside sister Amber, 14.
But since turning 18 last year, she has become increasingly in the public eye and made her red carpet debut alongside her father at the premiere of John Wick Chapter 4 last March.
And she looked every bit the A-lister as she attended the Vanity Fair EE Rising Star Party in London on Wednesday night.
The BAFTA party was the perfect networking spot for the aspiring actress, who enrolled in acting school to combine her passions for acting and business.

While TV presenter Vernon was on hand to support his daughter, he previously revealed he and Tess insist his children don't have to live off their fame and build “their own careers”.
This is an important factor for the celebrity duo, who both rose to fame after being discovered as models and then turning to television.
Speaking to Web in 2022, Vernon said that he and his wife believe it is important for their offspring to “find themselves” and not have their “life on their plate”, crediting the couple's origins from the North for shaping her educational beliefs.
Vernon said: “We allow them to be independent when it comes to themselves and their future because it is important that they are allowed to find themselves, which serves character building and personal development.”
“Sometimes I think that the old silver spoon and life on a plate in front of them… I think that's pretty contradictory to what you want them to be.”
“Tess and I grew up in warm, healthy families in the north and that is a big quality that has helped us in our personal development and I think that is really important.”
He added: “I don't disagree with anyone who does this by helping their children, which is great, but I just think for us personally sometimes it comes down to whatever they like, they can go and themselves discover.”
Tess feels the same way as her husband and told Web in 2021 how she kept her children “down to earth” when faced with the trappings of fame and raised them with “morals, respect and work ethic”.
The Strictly presenter revealed that Phoebe only realized her mother was working in television when she was seven, as she and Vernon worked to protect their family from the spotlight.
Tess admitted “it was never about us at home” as she discussed the importance of separating her career from motherhood.

She explained: “They are so down to earth that they know the value of everything. “It's everything to us.
“They have good morals and respect others.” It's everything. They build their self-esteem through you. It's so important to us that they stay grounded.
“It was never about us at home – it's about her and her life and us as a family.” Phoebe didn't know I worked in television until she was about seven!
“She had no idea until she saw me once and said, ‘There’s my mother!’ She just thought I was going to work on a Saturday because it was work for her.
“Of course they enjoy it a lot and they've enjoyed watching their dad on I'm A Celeb, they love Strictly – but it's part of our job and doesn't define who we are to them. “We're just mum and dad .
“It's really important to me that I don't take away my children's work ethic and their opportunity to find their own role in life by overshadowing them with my own.”
“It's important that they learn to find their own way.” It's not about us and ego has no place in our house. They are good, hard-working girls and we are really proud of them. They're growing up!'
Tess added that her onscreen partnership with Strictly presenter Claudia Winkleman, 52, was one of the ways she could demonstrate to her daughters the importance of women's empowerment.
She said: “I teach my daughters that women are unstoppable when they support each other.”
“They go to an all-girls school and have the attitude that women can do anything they put their mind to, and we constantly reinforce that at home.”
“It's so important for them to dream and they need to know that the world will recover and be full of positivity – they are the next generation and superpower.”
Just last month, Tess revealed her approach to raising teenage girls and explained how important she believes it is to be present.
“As a mother, I just want to be as present as I can be. I'm proud of that,” she told OK!
“Teenagers don't always want to talk to you, but even if you're just physically in the room with them… I'll just sit in the corner.”
“You have two little people who have become young adults.” It's amazing and always rewarding. “I love being a mother – it’s my most important job.”

Tess went on to explain that she and Vernon make a great team, but her husband is stricter.
“Vernon is a great father – he loves her more than anything.” I don't know if there's a good cop or a bad cop, but maybe he's a little stricter sometimes. But it’s for the common good and we’re a good team.”
“I'm proud of how down-to-earth they are.” That's what you want – kids who are friendly, have a good work ethic and respect people. You just try to form good people.
“You just have to advise them and gently show them the way.” It has to feel like they are making their own decisions in life.
“But they need more as they get older.” They need more life coaching, there seems to be more intellectual hand-holding. You never stop being a parent. I don't know when this all-seeing eye will end.'
