On June 9, Grace Gummer, aged 39, and her younger sister Louisa Jacobson, 33, made a rare public outing by attending the Chanel Tribeca Festival Artists Dinner. Known for keeping their lives out of the spotlight, the sisters are both actresses and showed their individual styles at the event. Gummer wore a sheer black slip dress paired with a gold Chanel belt, styling her blonde hair in loose curls swept over one shoulder.

The Family Resemblance: Echoes of Their Mother’s Iconic Looks
The strong family resemblance was evident, especially in the sisters’ defined cheekbones and sharp eyes, traits long associated with Meryl Streep’s appearance in her younger years. Images from the event highlighted the parallels between the siblings and a photo of Streep at age 27 in 1976. The sisters are the youngest daughters of Meryl Streep and her former husband Don Gummer, and they have an elder sister, Mamie Gummer, who is also an actress.
Privacy and Individual Identities Amid Public Curiosity
Despite being born to one of Hollywood’s most recognized talents, both Grace and Louisa have chosen to maintain a significant level of privacy in their personal lives. Grace Gummer explained her choice to remain reserved, stating,
“I don’t know that there ever was a decision to be private,”
—Grace Gummer, W Magazine. She further revealed,
“I just tend to be this way,”
—Grace Gummer, W Magazine, and continued,
“I just want to be mutable and shiftable and known for my actual work, rather than, for example, where I was seen or what I wore on the red carpet,”
—Grace Gummer, W Magazine.
Louisa Jacobson has also faced challenges tied to her family’s fame. Recalling her journey, she said,
“[I knew] that if I chose my passion, which was acting, there would be many, many people who would feel like I didn’t deserve it,”
—Louisa Jacobson, Elle. She added,
“Grappling with that is kind of difficult, but it’s just part of what it is to be a nepo baby,”
—Louisa Jacobson, Elle.
Impact of Public Appearances and Continuing Legacy
While both sisters tend to avoid frequent appearances, their joint presence at the Chanel dinner generated conversation about the ongoing legacy of Meryl Streep’s family in the entertainment industry. As Gummer and Jacobson continue their own careers, their resemblance to their mother and approach to fame highlight the challenges and expectations that come with being part of a high-profile family. Their decision to step into the public eye together, even rarely, keeps public interest alive regarding the next generation of the Streep-Gummer legacy.
