Watch: Jessica Biel Makes Rare Appearance With Her 2 Sons at a Heartwarming Event

Jessica Biel took to the catwalk for a good cause.

The 42-year-old attended the Global Down Syndrome Foundation's Be Beautiful Be Yourself Fashion Show on Nov. 16, where she walked the event’s runway with her and husband Justin Timberlake’s two sons Silas, 9, and Phineas, 4.

Joining them was Jessica’s 5-year-old niece Zaya—the daughter of Jessica’s brother Justin Biel and his wife Rose—who has Down syndrome and was honored as GLOBAL’s Ambassador at the event.

In photos shared by Jessica from the event, she can be seen walking in hand in hand with Silas and Phineas down the runway as Zaya leads the way. For the occasion, the 7th Heaven alum donned David Koma FW24 Look 15 styled by Rob + Mariel, letting the dramatically ruffled dress do the talking and keeping her hair styled in a sleek and simple bob.

For the part of her children, Silas wore khakis, a white button down and a navy blazer while Phineas walked in patchwork khaki pants and a white t-shirt printed with a suspender and bowtie. Zaya, meanwhile, wore a tulle white dress and pink ribbon complete with sparkly sneakers.

“Last night was truly special at the #BeBeautifulBeYourself fashion show,” Jessica captioned her Nov. 17 post. “Walking the runway with my amazing niece @lovelyzayab was an unforgettable honor.”

She continued, “Huge thanks to the @globaldownsyndrome foundation for creating such a profound, empowering event and for all the incredible work you do. My heart is so full.”

And though Justin didn’t join his family at the event, he got in on the love, writing in the comments section alongside three red hearts, “All the feels!!!!”

Zaya’s mom Rose also gushed about the event on social media, writing of Jessica on her Instagram Story, “You da best sis!”

The public appearance of Silas and Phineas—whose faces were blurred out in Jessica’s post—marks a rare occasion for the pair, as Jessica and Justin often try to keep the pair out of the spotlight.

Earlier this year, however, Jessica and her eldest did enjoy a rare mother-son day out together as they took in the tennis during the second round of the U.S. Open championship.

But while the family keeps their private life mostly out of the public eye, the Candy star has shared some insight into life raising two boys.

"Playing with my sons is the most fun—wrestling, playing LEGO, building LEGO, swimming, playing sports, reading together,” Jessica alum shared in a video for People published in May. "I love spending time with them, and I love getting down and dirty with them on the floor and just having fun. Not worrying about getting dirty or anything like that."
