John Travolta is one "proud" dad, and he wants everyone to know it.
The Pulp Fiction star, 72, had nothing but praise for his daughter, Ella Bleu Travolta, following her stunning appearance at the Fashion Trust U.S. Awards on April 7.
John took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a photo of Ella posing for photos at the Los Angeles event, wearing a beautiful, floor-length, embellished black dress that hugged her slender figure.
Ever the doting dad, John shared an emotional message to express his pride in Ella. "So proud of my baby girl @ella.bleu at the 2026 fashion US awards pink carpet," he wrote. "Look out for Ella in my directorial debut, Propeller One-Way Night Coach."
John's followers all appeared to agree that Ella looked gorgeous for the outing, with many praising her appearance in the comments.
"Ella is stunning inside and out," one replied. A second said: "Absolutely beautiful. Class." A third added: "The fruit does not fall far from the tree... what a beautiful young lady."
Ella is no stranger to the spotlight and is a talented performer, having acted in films from a young age, including alongside her dad in 2009's Old Dogs.
The 26-year-old has been forging a singing career of late, but she will next be seen in her father's highly anticipated directorial debut, Propeller One-Way Night Coach, based on his 1997 children's novel of the same name.
Set in the golden age of aviation, the story follows a young airplane enthusiast, Jeff (played by newcomer Clark Shotwell), and his mother (Kelly Eviston-Quinnett), who set off on a one-way cross-country odyssey to Hollywood, which transforms a simple flight into the trip of a lifetime, according to the synopsis.
Between airline meals, charming flight attendants (played by Ella and Olga Hoffman), unexpected stopovers, larger-than-life passengers, and a thrilling glimpse at first class, the journey unfolds in moments both magical and unexpected, charting the course for the boy's future.
Ella has proven herself to be talented like her dad, but not just on the big screen. She released her debut EP, Colors of Love, in 2024, to much acclaim.
The star has described her music as a letter to the different shades and perspectives of love and affection that one experiences in life, from the romantic to the familial. One of her songs, "Little Bird," even explicitly pays tribute to her late mother, Kelly Preston, who passed away in 2020.
"I grew up very much so in the public eye. And with that comes a lot of attention, especially when you lose someone," Ella told People, describing the song as her most "personal" to date. "There's definitely the natural support and global support that comes with that."
"But then, there can be a natural input and expectation of how you should feel or how people assume that you feel or how other people feel, that gets added in," she continued.
"'Little Bird' is about holding onto those pure relationships that you have with people that you lost and really just listening to yourself and staying true to that relationship with that person."
