Brendan Fraser made a rare appearance at New York Fashion Week in support of his son Holden Fletcher, who made his mark on the Todd Snyder Fall-Winter 2025 runway on Feb. 6.

While many were surprised to see the Oscar winner, 56, mingling with industry tastemakers — including Jenna Lyons and her partner Cass Bird — in the front row, it turns out he was there on dad duty to celebrate his middle child’s catwalk moment!

Holden, 20, wore an olive green coat, collared cardigan, mesh shirt and denim-like trousers. His hair was styled in a curled updo.

In a video shared to InStyle's TikTok, the Oscar winner, dressed in a casual all-black outfit, can be seen filming the lineup of models walking past him.

After the show, Holden took to Instagram with photos of his Todd Snyder debut, including one presumably taken from his dad’s point of view.

In his caption, he wrote: “Me for @toddsnyderny FW25. Thank you so much to the whole Todd Snyder team for the opportunity, it was such an honor to walk in this beautiful collection.”

Per his Instagram Holden, who is signed with Marilyn Agency, has experience on the runway and behind the camera as an editorial cover model.

In September 2023, he made an appearance at the Hermès Men’s Fall-Winter 2023 show held at Domino Sugar Refinery in Brooklyn, New York. He wore a camel-hued coat with a popped collar, a gray ribbed turtleneck, skinny jeans and buckle boots.
