Kitty-Blu opted for a white button-down T-shirt dress and long white boots that went over her thighs. She paired the look with long blonde wavy tresses and a matching white bag. Meanwhile, her dad chose a white long-sleeve button-down that was reminiscent of his daughter's dress. He added white pants and a red bag.

Appleton shares Kitty-Blu and son Billy, 23, with his former partner Katie Katon.
Back in January, the dad of two spoke with PEOPLE and shared that his daughter Kitty-Blu is the one who keeps him up-to-date on the latest trends.
“I always ask Kitty. I'm like, ‘Kitty, what is, is this cool? Shall I do this, shall I do this?’ ” Appleton said.
“She just, like, advises me [on] what to do and where to go. And that's the great thing about having kids … they keep you young,” he added.
Kitty-Blu moved from England to L.A. when she was 17 to live with her dad and pursue a career as a makeup artist. In March 2022, she did a joint interview with Appleton for Allure and opened up about how, while her dad inspires her, she wanted to build her own career and not just be known “as Chris Appleton's daughter.”

“I was always that girl with my hair done and a full face of makeup. Because of social media, everyone at school was like, ‘Oh, can you get your dad to do my hair?’ I was like, ‘No!’ ” she said. “Makeup was my hobby and passion. It was my escape from school. I hated math and English.”
Since then, however, Kitty-Blu has shared that she doesn't plan on following in her dad's footsteps and entering the makeup industry. In a TikTok video from December 2022, she said that while she “loves makeup and beauty” and attending cosmetology school “was one of the best experiences,” she ultimately decided not to become a makeup artist.
In November 2022, Kitty-Blu celebrated her 18th birthday with an all-pink bash. “Happy 18th birthday Kitty-Blu. I’ve watched you grow from a baby to a beautiful young woman, and I couldn’t be any prouder of you than I am today. I Love you,” Appleton wrote in a sweet post on Instagram.
