Chanel Nicole Marrow stepped into the New York Fashion Week spotlight once again, with her parents, Ice-T and Coco Austin, watching proudly from the sidelines.
The 10-year-old daughter of the rapper and Law & Order: SVU star and model Coco Austin walked in the Rookie Kids: Runway on Broadway show on September 17, 2026, at Macy’s Herald Square in New York City.
The family appearance came as the child-focused fashion event brought together celebrity families, young models and major kidswear brands.
Chanel Nicole Marrow Walks the Rookie Kids Runway
Chanel appeared on the runway during the New York event wearing a casual back-to-school-inspired outfit.
Her look featured a black pleated skirt, a white Levi’s T-shirt, a beige denim jacket and red Converse sneakers. The combination gave her runway appearance a youthful, everyday style rather than a traditional high-fashion look.
The event was hosted by New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson and featured children’s clothing from brands including Abercrombie Kids, Levi’s, Nike and Lacoste. Macy’s currently highlights the Rookie Kids runway as a showcase for back-to-school styles.
Chanel was also photographed with her parents at the event, adding another family moment to her growing collection of public appearances.
Ice-T and Coco Austin Support Their Daughter
Ice-T and Coco Austin attended the show to support Chanel as she took part in the runway presentation.
The appearance reflects the family’s long-standing support for Chanel’s interest in fashion and public events. Chanel has accompanied her parents to major entertainment occasions since she was young.
Getty Images records show that she walked at the Rookie USA Fashion Show in New York in September 2023. She also returned to the runway for the Amazon Kids Back-to-School Runway Show in New York in July 2026.
Her latest appearance therefore marks another step in a relationship with the Rookie Kids fashion events that began several years ago.
Chanel Has Been Around the Fashion Spotlight for Years
Chanel Nicole Marrow has grown up in front of cameras as the only child of Ice-T and Coco Austin.
Her parents have brought her to premieres, award ceremonies and other public events over the years. She was also present when Ice-T received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in February 2023.
Fashion, however, has become a recurring part of Chanel’s public appearances.
Her 2023 Rookie USA runway appearance came when she was still a young child. Three years later, she has continued appearing in kids’ fashion events in New York.
Coco Austin Has Spoken About Raising Chanel in the Spotlight
Chanel’s runway appearances come alongside her parents’ efforts to help her navigate growing up with famous parents.
In a June 2026 interview with the Beyond the Bar podcast, Coco Austin discussed the importance she places on manners, respect and treating other people well. E! News reported that Austin said she wants Chanel to grow into a kind and respectful person while also developing her intelligence and interests.
That perspective provides context for Chanel’s public appearances. While fashion and entertainment are part of her childhood experiences, Austin has also publicly emphasised the importance of keeping her daughter grounded.
A Family Moment at New York Fashion Week
The Rookie Kids show was not just about Chanel.
The September 17 event brought numerous celebrity families together at Macy’s Herald Square. Among those attending were Jalen Brunson and his family, along with other recognisable names from sports and entertainment.
Brunson’s 2-year-old daughter, Jordyn, also made her runway debut during the event. The family-focused presentation combined children’s fashion with a New York sports and entertainment atmosphere.
For Chanel, meanwhile, the runway represented another familiar setting.
At 10 years old, she is already building experience with children’s fashion shows while continuing to appear alongside her parents at public events.
What’s Next for Chanel Nicole Marrow?
For now, Chanel’s runway appearances remain part of her childhood experiences and public life with her family.
Her September 2026 appearance shows that she continues to participate in Rookie Kids events after previous runway appearances in 2023 and 2026.
Whether fashion becomes a larger part of her future remains to be seen. For Ice-T and Coco Austin, however, her latest walk was another opportunity to support their daughter while she explored an interest that has been visible from an early age.
Why Chanel Nicole Marrow’s NYFW Appearance Matters
Chanel’s latest runway appearance connects several parts of her public life: her family’s entertainment background, her interest in fashion and her continued participation in children’s runway events.
It also highlights how celebrity children are increasingly becoming part of fashion and entertainment events in their own right, while still appearing under the support of their families.
