Ella Travolta and John Travolta attend the 2024 Academy Museum Gala at Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on October 19, 2024 in Los Angeles, California.

But it goes without saying that his daughter Ella Bleu stole the show at the ceremony, as she accompanied her father for the special occasion. She appeared not to leave her father's side as they walked down the red carpet, her arm tucked in the crook of John's elbow. They both wore black, with the Grease actor opting for a dark velvet tuxedo with a black shirt beneath.

Ella bore a striking resemblance to her late mother, Kelly Preston, as she attended the event in a beautiful black dress and heels. Her dark hair was cut off around the nape of her neck.

Taking to Instagram to share the moment with fans, John captioned the photo carousel: "Finally in The Academy tribute to Quentin Tarantino, I get a chance to express my gratitude and appreciation of his talent. Ella and I had a great night."

Fans couldn't help but comment on how good the duo looked, with one person commenting: "Your daughter steals this show! A stunning, feminine version of you."

This isn't the first time the 24-year-old attended an event with her father, as they have an incredibly close bond. Earlier this year, she attended a 30th anniversary screening of Pulp Fiction with her father as well.

Meanwhile, just as she has been supporting her father, he's been there for her as well as she released a song, "Little Bird," back in September. The music video for the new song involves a compilation of several home videos featuring Ella's late mother Kelly, released on a very special day.

Promoting the single, John explained: "This song and video is an homage to her mother, and it also happens to be my wedding anniversary with Kelly."

He later revealed that he had helped produce the album, showing that the record was a joint venture between them.

With Kelly standing out as a clear inspiration for Ella's music, the 24-year-old spoke to People about the impact it all had on her.

"I grew up very much so in the public eye. And with that comes a lot of attention, especially when you lose someone," she said. "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."
