Benicio Del Toro Steps Out with Rarely Seen Daughter Delilah, 14, Igniting a Stir

Benicio Del Toro usually keeps his private life under lock and key, but he just made an exception that has everyone talking. The actor appeared on the red carpet with a special lady on his arm, and the resemblance to a certain rock legend is impossible to ignore.

Some fans who know Benicio not just as an Oscar-winning actor but as a father still picture his daughter as a little girl. However, the moment he stepped onto the 2026 SAG Awards red carpet, it became clear that time had flown.

The "Sin City" actor made the evening a family affair when he arrived at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles with his 14-year-old daughter, Delilah, who rarely appears in public. And within hours, photos of the father-daughter outing had social media buzzing.

The Debut That Stole the Night

For her big red carpet debut, the teen looked every bit the Hollywood starlet. Delilah wore a floor-length, glittering tan gown featuring a delicate flower appliqué. She wore her hair down and completed the look with simple earrings.

Beside her, Benicio kept things cool in a traditional tuxedo paired with his signature black sunglasses. Despite his A-list status, it was Delilah who had the internet buzzing with surprise.

Fans Suddenly Realize How Grown-up She Is

Photos from the event quickly circulated online, and the reaction was immediate. On a Facebook post about the appearance, one viewer admitted they were caught off guard by how much time had passed.

"I thought she was still a little girl for some reason. Others focused on her look, with one person writing, "Very pretty girl!"

Over on Instagram, fans also pointed out her resemblance to both sides of her famous family. "She looks like her mother 😍," one person wrote.

Another added, "She's a beautiful mix! Lovely seeing him with his daughter," with another agreeing, "She's got Rod Stewart and Benicio's genes!"

A Famous Family Connection

While many know her father's work, some were surprised to be reminded of her iconic maternal grandfather. Delilah is the granddaughter of Rod Stewart, daughter of the rocker’s own daughter, Kimberly Stewart.

Grandpa Rod hasn't been shy about his adoration, once admitting he had been "blabbing" her name for hours after she was born. He even claimed her birth inspired him to start writing music again after a 17-year drought.

The family remains close-knit, even traveling together to Puerto Rico in 2023. Benicio and Kimberly took Delilah to the island specifically to watch Rod perform in concert.

Opinionated and Camera-Shy?

Not everyone was convinced the teen was loving the spotlight, however. Some observers noted she looked "uncomfortable" in photos, pointing out her crossed arms on the carpet.

If she was critiquing the event, it wouldn't be a surprise to her mother. Kimberly once shared that even at age four, Delilah was "opinionated" about fashion and would give her "the look" if she wore the wrong shoes.

As for a future in film, Benicio isn't betting on it. He previously predicted she would become a teacher because she spent her toddler years "telling me what to do."

The Del Toro family wasn't the only one making the night a relative affair, as several other A-listers decided to ditch the traditional dates for some quality family time on the carpet.

Relive the most emotional wins and daring fashion choices from the 2026 Actor Awards. From Harrison Ford's tearful speech to Michael J. Fox's surprise guest, we have all the must-see moments.

The 32nd annual Actor Awards just wrapped at the Shrine Auditorium, and the night was anything but predictable.

While the trophies were the main event, a series of unscripted family reveals and "did that really happen?" fashion choices stole the spotlight.

Family First on the Red Carpet

Timothee Chalamet arrived at the Shrine Auditorium looking incredibly suave in a white blazer and black trousers, but it was his guest who had everyone talking.

The 30-year-old "Marty Supreme" star decided to skip the traditional date and brought his mom, Nicole Flender, who popped in a bright pink dress.

Teyana Taylor also made the night a family affair, walking the carpet in a bodice designed to resemble the female torso. Her daughter, Rue Rose Shumpert, acted as her stylist by helping lay out her mother's long, shimmering train.

Fans were quick to weigh in on the duo, with comments ranging from "BEST DRESSED ON EVERY RED CARPET!!!" and "She is a copy and paste of her mother. 💗" to "Beautiful baby girl looking like her daddy" and "Her mini me assistant." One viewer even noted, "That baby needed a fancy dress too."

Risk Takers and Fashion Fails

Gwyneth Paltrow arrived in a plunging lingerie-inspired gown that left nerizens totally confused. One observer bluntly asked, "Is the gown on backwards?" while another wondered, "Where's the rest of her dress? 🤷🏻‍♀️" A third added, "She's beautiful but she doesn't look comfortable or confident."

Demi Moore's sculptural look also missed the mark for some, specifically a massive white tulle piece on the back. "That's a big bunny tail..." one fan commented on Facebook, while another asked, "What’s on her right hand? Brass knuckles?" One critic even joked, "Looks like she's wearing a car seat! 🤣"

Jenna Ortega also leaned into the lingerie trend with a slip dress that featured a lace-torn bodice. While she looked stunning with Gothic makeup, some fans were disappointed. One critic wrote, "Sorry, but it looks like a nightgown," while another said, "I love her, but not the slip. It's ripped to shreds."

Sarah Pidgeon took a major risk in a dusty-pink double balloon maxi dress with an exaggerated silhouette. Unfortunately, the look did not receive the best reviews. "Worst dress I've ever seen 😳" commented one harsh viewer. Another simply stated, "She's beautiful the dress not so much."

Jaw-Dropping Reactions and Emotional Speeches

The crowd went wild when Viola Davis took the stage to announce the winner for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role. Davis was so stunned by the result that her mouth hung open as she stared at the envelope.

"You are shining!" she yelled before calling out Michael B. Jordan's name to a thunderous room. Jordan, who attended the event with his mother Donna Jordan, was clearly moved, sharing quick embraces with Delroy Lindo and Ethan Hawke before heading up to celebrate his victory for "Sinners."

The internet couldn't get enough of Viola's energy, with fans calling it the "highlight of the season!!!!" and noted "viola and sam jackson cheering when michael and sinners won were real highlights tonight."

Another fan added, "That announcement was the highlight of the night in my opinion; her being emotional was so contagious."

The emotional peak of the night came when Harrison Ford received a lifetime achievement award. The legendary actor was visibly crying as he thanked his wife, Calista Flockhart, and his family for their love.

Earlier in the evening, the couple had a clumsy moment on the carpet where Flockhart nearly lost her footing. After she stabilized, she wiped lipstick off Ford's cheek, prompting him to roll his eyes — a moment that sparked a huge debate online.

Comments ranged from "He looks annoyed" and "She looks goofy and awkward.. he looks slightly annoyed, maybe be embarrassed. Cute moment? 🙄" to "That was awkward!! But they have been married for a long time" and "He looked so cute when she did that. She makes him feel young."

Michael J. Fox's Surprise Date Steals the Show

Perhaps the most touching moment belonged to Michael J. Fox, who made a rare appearance for the show's "I Am an Actor" segment. After receiving a standing ovation, he shared the story of meeting his wife, Tracy Pollan, on "Family Ties."

Fox listed his children by name—Schuyler, Aquinnah, Esmé, and Sam—before the camera panned to reveal his unexpected date for the night. Sitting right next to him was his 36-year-old son, Sam.

The Back to the Future legend pointed to Sam and joked, “By the way, he’s not an actor. He is just my date.” The comment drew massive laughter, proving that even after decades in the spotlight, Fox still knows how to steal the show.
