Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones' children are making waves on social media with a series of captivating photos from an event in the Big Apple.

Carys and Dylan Douglas recently joined their father, Michael Douglas, at the red-carpet premiere of his documentary "America's Burning" in New York. The event also highlighted their stunning looks, sparking widespread admiration online.

The trio exuded elegance and style. Carys and Dylan matched in striking white outfits. Carys wore a white blazer and a gray satin skirt, while Dylan wore a crisp white shirt with a textured blazer and pants.

Michael complemented his kids' look, donning a blue shirt, navy suit jacket, and dark gray pants. The Douglas family's stylish appearance captivated onlookers and set social media abuzz.

"His children are beautiful. The mix of their parents. They got all the best out of genes," stated one enthused netizen, capturing the sentiment shared by many. Another keen observer noted, "Love the same chin dimple." Someone else declared"The Douglas chin is strong."

Comparisons to their famous parents were abundant. "Daughter is the copy of mother and the sonhas father's look [sic]," observed one user. Carys's gray satin skirt also reminded netizens of her mom's vintage pink slip dress that she wore for her 21st birthday dinner last April.

Her mother was the first to wear the dress on the 1999 MTV Movie Awards red carpet. Fans and followers loved the affectionate nod to her mother's iconic fashion moment.

The collective charm of the past meeting the present was not lost on the observers, who expressed their admiration. "Your mom's dress?😍" one user commented.

Through a series of photos, Carys enjoyed a birthday dinner with friends. She was seen blowing out her birthday candles and laughing with friends. Her Instagram post captioned, "The most perfect 21st I could ask for!"

Comments on the young stars' looks at their father's premiere continued. One person said, "Dylan looks like the young Tom Cruise." Another remarked, "They got their mother's looks." Someone else echoed the same sentiment, writing, "There 2 kids look like her [sic]."

Amidst the glowing praise, there were moments of gentle surprise and light-hearted speculation. "I thought those were his grandchildren," confessed one surprised onlooker. "Looks like their grandpapa," chimed in yet another commenter.

Despite some netizens thinking he is Carys and Dylan's grandfather, Michael believes parenting in his 70s has made him a better father. In an April 2024 interview, he opened up about raising Carys, Dylan, and his older son Cameron. Cam eron is Michael's son with his ex-wife, Diandra Luker.

Michael admitted that because of his age, he can't always keep up with his children. However, he appreciates that they now look after him.

"I'm just sliding by just now. I've reached the point in terms of skiing and a couple of other activities that I'm no longer able to keep up with them on any basis...But it's nice having somebody look after you and say, 'You okay dad?'" he said.

In his current phase of life, Michael enjoys being an empty nester with Catherine. Dylan has finished school, and Carys has one more year of college left. "So it's been a good ride and I've been very fortunate, happy with the choices that I've made and now am kind of really backing off and smelling the roses a little more, travelling more," he shared.

In his new chapter as an empty-nester, Michael recently celebrated the Fourth of July at sea. Michael shared a video on Instagram of himself on Independence Day. While the post paid homage to the event, people were captivated by the star's appearance.

With the glowing sunset behind him lighting up the green trees and sparkling blue ocean, Michael talked about the significance of the day. Opting for a laid-back vibe, he donned a gray shirt.

"Good evening, everyone. I just want to get a little head start on the 4th of July, our Independence Day! [...] I wish all of us a Happy 4th [...] Have a great, great holiday!" Michael expressed and penned in his caption alongside the video.

While the actor's video focused on America's Independence Day, viewers couldn't help but notice his physical features. Many people expressed surprise by his wrinkly visage, with some finding it hard to believe he isn't older than 79.

"How old is he 98 ? 😮," questioned an Instagrammer. Similarly, another wrote, "Oh my gosh! I know he's almost 80 but boy he has aged much more than other 80 yr olds [sic]."

Echoing the shock, someone else added, "Good Lord! I didn't even recognize him!" while another Instagrammer marveled, "Wow sooo old [too] many wrinkles." Commenting on the cadence and speed at which Michael spoke, another person said, "Every sentence feels like a struggle. #gettingoldsux."

However, amid comments about Michael's remarkedly aged appearance, some praised the "Basic Instinct" talent. "You look so handsome as always," complimented a fan. Another swooned, "Looking good looking good Michael, God bless you Man, carry on boy [sic]."
