Supermodel Coco Rocha is not just a runway icon—she's also a devoted mom to three stylish kids, and her recent appearance at the DKMS Gala in New York City proved just that. But here's where it gets heartwarming: Rocha, 37, didn't just walk the red carpet solo; she brought along her children—Ioni, 10, Iver, 7, and Iley, 4—turning the event into a family affair. Honored for her advocacy in the fight against blood cancer, Rocha stunned in a red, one-sleeved mermaid gown designed by her friend Christian Siriano, complete with tulle embellishments that highlighted her iconic physique. But the real showstoppers? Her kids, who clearly inherited their mom's flair for fashion.
Ioni channeled sophistication in a black sleeveless top and maxi skirt adorned with white flowers, while Iver looked dapper in a tailored black suit. Iley, the youngest, mirrored her mom's style in a silver and white tulle dress, her hair accessorized with two red bows. And this is the part most people miss: Iley, at just four years old, is already asserting her own personality on the red carpet. When Rocha suggested a pose, Iley firmly replied, 'No!'—a moment that Rocha shared with HELLO! magazine, laughing at her daughter's budding independence.
Rocha shares her three children with her husband, British artist James Conran, whom she met at a party in New York City. Here’s where it gets controversial: Conran initially thought Rocha was 'overdressed' in an emerald green gown, even joking to The New York Times that she seemed like a princess. Yet, three years later, they began dating, and the rest is history. The couple didn’t plan to have three kids, but as Rocha told HELLO! Canada, 'We were just taking things one day at a time.' Iley’s arrival, just before the pandemic, was a surprise—and a joy.
Rocha’s parenting style is as hands-on as it gets. After Iley’s birth in 2020, she praised her eldest, Ioni, for stepping up as a mini-mom, telling People, 'She’s constantly running to get me diapers and blankets, or watching over Iver when I’m busy.' But here’s the question: Is Ioni’s early responsibility a sign of great maturity, or does it raise concerns about kids growing up too fast? Let us know in the comments.
The Rocha-Conran kids are undeniable fashionistas, and their Instagram-worthy moments prove it. This August, Rocha shared photos of her children dressed in black-tie attire for their first day of school—no uniforms here! 'For the first time in 10 years, all of my babies walked into school together,' she captioned, adding that she and Conran celebrated with sushi, wine, and 'a few happy tears.' And this is the part that sparks debate: Are kids in designer outfits a cute expression of creativity, or does it set unrealistic standards? Share your thoughts below.
From red carpets to school drop-offs, Coco Rocha and her family are redefining what it means to balance fame, fashion, and family life. But the real question is: Can we all agree that Iley’s red bows deserve their own fashion line?
