Molly Ringwald’s movies helped define a generation. Molly, along with other “Brat Pack” members, served as a voice of adolescent angst, love, and sometimes even grief. With her fiery red hair and signature pout, millions of girls wanted to be just like Molly Ringwald. Alas, many of us grew up and handed families, moved on with our lives and careers, and left those carefree days behind. Molly did the same thing. She’s stayed active in Hollywood, but certainly not to the degree she was as a teenager. Now, she’s married to Panio Gianopolous, and the pair share three children. Molly Ringwald recently walked the runway with her 15-year-old son, Roman, at the Lingua Franca Fall RTW 2025, and fans couldn’t believe the resemblance.

Molly Ringwald And Her Son Looked Cool On The Runway
According to Lingua Franca founder Rachelle Hruska, she chose Molly, Rowan, and all of her models for a very specific reason. She told Vogue ahead of the runway,
“Everyone walking in the show is a friend of mine,” she said. “I wanted my first runway to highlight the creative downtown New Yorkers who inspire me. I wanted it to feel eclectic but cohesive, a real reflection of the spirit of this city. But most importantly, I wanted it to be fun.”
Molly Ringwald and her son looked like naturals in photos of the fashion show shared by Today. Roman has a twin sister, Adele, and a 21-year-old sister, Mathilda.
Molly shared a photo of herself with her son in August on Instagram, captioned with a phrase all too familiar to moms of teenagers.
She wrote, “Me and my beautiful boy who now will always make me look up.”
It’s unclear whether Rowan wants to pursue a Hollywood career like his mom. But if he wants a few tips, she’s certainly one to look up to when it comes to learning how to get the whole world to fall in love with you.
