Another fan said, “Stunning grown woman, just like her mother 😍.” Carys celebrated with friends, laughing and blowing out candles on her cake.

Catherine first wore the dress in 1999 on the MTV Movie Awards red carpet. To celebrate Carys’ 21st birthday, Catherine posted many photos of Carys from childhood to now, showing how much she’d grown.

The actress wished her “beautiful” daughter a happy birthday, expressing how Carys was the joy in her life. She said watching Carys become “the most incredible woman” was a gift she cherished daily.

Catherine concluded by thanking Carys for being herself and sharing her love. In response, Carys thanked her mom for everything, saying she was proud to be Catherine’s daughter.

Michael also honored Carys with a photo of him looking lovingly at her, wishing her a happy 21st and saying she brought him joy.

In reply, Carys wrote, “I love you so much, Dadda! Thank you for being the best dad in the world ❤️.” Back in April 2021, Catherine was thrilled as her daughter prepared for college.

The actress posted a “cute alert” video of young Carys talking, joking that the path to higher education starts with a love for books. She shared the clip as she helped Carys pack for college.

Catherine joked to her fans not to tell Carys about the clip. Showing her career interests, in September 2024, Carys posted images from a movie she worked on.

She revealed they were from a film called “F*ck That Guy,” which she was proud to be part of. The movie was screened at Los Angeles’ Proof Film Festival, held from October 18 to 20.
