"Stunning!!! Love the outfit," one fan gushed in the comments section, while a second wrote, "Looking gorgeous."
A third person reminisced, "We all remember when your daughter was a young child. They grow up so fast."

Vanessa Williams Is a Hot Ticket in 'The Devil Wears Prada'
Theatergoers have been flocking to London's West End to see Vanessa Williams perform.
The Devil Wears Prada began previews in late October 2024 at the Dominion Theatre and opened on December 1, 2024.
"I channel Miranda through the dialog [from the movie]," the former Miss America told a news outlet in July 2024. "A lot of the dialog is actually taken from the actual film. So what you'll hear me do on stage is the dialog that people know and love and have memorized."
"The first number that I do is called 'The House of Miranda.' And the very last words that I sing is 'That's all,' and I walk off," Vanessa explained. "So ... my first lines are, 'Emily, Emily,' and the audience will know, 'Oh, my God, she's coming.'"
Vanessa Williams on Comparisons to Meryl Streep in 'The Devil Wears Prada'
Vanessa Williams is making the role of Miranda Priestly her own in the West End musical.
“I refused to be compared,” Vanessa told a news outlet in March about how she didn't want anyone contrasting her take on Miranda with that of Meryl's.
“I’ve heard this question over and over again, and I knew that I was going to make it my own … that’s been the feedback from everyone who’s seen it. After they sit down in their seat, they say ‘I completely forgot who was playing it before and I love the journey that you took me on.' And that’s what you have to do as an actor,” she explained.
