Ramona Sarsgaard, who was front row at Hermès in Paris with her father, is a dead ringer for mum Maggie Gyllenhaal; her uncle Jake wrote a children’s book inspired by her and her sister

Famous faces from around the globe pitched up to the recent 2025 Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. Hermès drew a glamorous crowd of A-listers for its Menswear Fall/Winter show, including Presumed Innocent star Peter Sarsgaard and his 18-year-old daughter, Ramona Sarsgaard. And sitting front row, Ramona, in a tan leather co-ordinated set, turned heads.

 

“I’ve been to one other [Paris show],” she told an interviewer. “It’s been so fun.” The young Sarsgaard’s first appearance in Paris was with her mother, Maggie Gyllenhaal, at the Christian Dior Womenswear Spring/Summer 2023 show.
