Justin Timberlake made a Justin Timberlake rare appearance with sons Silas and Phineas on Nov. 7, joining the runway at the Global Down Syndrome Foundation’s Be Beautiful Be Yourself Fashion Show in Denver, Colorado. The singer walked alongside Silas, 11, and Phineas, 6, marking a rare public outing for the family.
A Family Turn on the Catwalk
The Timberlake boys coordinated their looks for the event. Justin and Phineas wore matching all-black outfits, while Silas paired black trousers with a white button-down shirt and a bomber jacket. He finished his ensemble with a tie and matching sunglasses.
Also walking the runway was Zaya, the 7-year-old daughter of Jessica Biel’s brother Justin Biel and his wife Rose. Zaya, who has Down syndrome and was honored as GLOBAL’s Ambassador at the 2024 event, wore a black-and-white polka dot dress with fringe boots. She held hands with her uncle and cousin Silas as they made their way down the catwalk.
Jessica Biel's Past Runway Moment
Jessica Biel was not pictured at this year’s event. Two years earlier, she walked the same runway with her niece and sons, describing the experience at the time as truly special. In a November 2024 Instagram post, she called walking with her niece an unforgettable honor and thanked the Global Down Syndrome Foundation for creating what she described as a profound and empowering event.
A Gradual Shift in Privacy
Justin, 45, and Jessica, 44, have long kept their children out of the spotlight, but the family has been gradually sharing more public moments. Silas recently appeared in a small nonspeaking role near the end of his mother’s Apple TV film Matchbox.
During an Oct. 22 appearance on the Josh Smith’s Great Chat Show podcast, Jessica recalled telling her son that he could not take a part from another child simply because she is his mother. She noted that other kids work hard in acting and theater classes, and she emphasized that her family does not hand out opportunities based on their name.
The Foundation Behind the Event
The Be Beautiful Be Yourself Fashion Show is organized by the Global Down Syndrome Foundation, which supports people with Down syndrome and their families. The annual event brings together celebrities and community members for a runway showcase that highlights inclusion and empowerment.
For the Timberlake family, the evening offered a rare glimpse of the brothers together in a public setting, dressed up and walking the runway alongside their cousin for a cause that has become a meaningful part of their extended family’s story.
