Uma Thurman and Maya Hawke appeared elegant and in sync at the Room to Grow 25th anniversary gala in New York City. The mother-daughter pair walked the blue carpet on Wednesday, October 25, dressed in matching black outfits. Thurman, aged 53, chose a timeless black dress with a tasteful thigh-high slit, complemented by a cape coat and pointed-toe heels. The Kill Bill actress completed her look with dangling earrings and a classic envelope clutch.
Hawke, aged 25, exuded elegance in a silk jacket adorned with exquisite gold buttons. She paired it effortlessly with straight-leg trousers and glossy pumps. Adding the final touch, the Stranger Things actress accessorized her ensemble with Parada's Arqué leather shoulder bag, boasting a beautifully curved silhouette. It is worth noting that Hawke is one of Prada's esteemed ambassadors, having recently starred in the fashion house's 2023 holiday campaign alongside Damson Idris and Louis Partridge.
Both Thurman and Hawke opted for sleek hairstyles to complete their stunning looks. Hawke wore her hair in a pulled-back bun, while Thurman rocked a chic high ponytail.

At the event, which supports families facing financial hardship in New York and Boston, a cause that Thurman has passionately supported for more than 25 years, the actresses appeared visibly content. Hawke even paused to capture some photographs of her renowned mother. Photographers were able to capture this special moment, showcasing Thurman's radiant smile as Hawke carefully positioned herself to capture the perfect shot. Thurman has two children, Maya and Levon Hawke, both 21 years old, whom she shares with her former husband and actor Ethan Hawke. The couple tied the knot in May 1998 but ultimately ended their marriage in August 2005.
Maya has continued to follow her parents' path in Hollywood, starring in shows like Do Revenge and Netflix's limited series Fear Street. Thurman previously spoke about Maya's journey in the industry, stating, "It's a complex career."

Thurman expressed, "She is a highly sensitive individual. Any parent who cares for their child would naturally feel concerned about them venturing into the public sphere, not because they desire fame but because of their immense creativity. One simply hopes they would explore alternative avenues for expressing their creativity."
Nonetheless, Thurman takes pride in Maya's accomplishments, despite her own worries.
"She is, without a doubt, an exceptionally talented actress," she expressed. "It is evident that there was never any other path for her. ... Her talent was immense. It was her calling."
Ethan, aged 52, shared similar sentiments in January 2020. "It is truly one of the greatest honors of my life," he shared with ET. "It is astonishing. Even when she was a child, I knew she possessed the soul of an artist and I believe she is a deeply profound individual. It adds an element of interest and excitement to my life, always striving to be the person she desires me to be."
