Elon Musk’s Estranged Daughter Makes Runway Debut

Elon Musk’s estranged daughter, Vivian Wilson, 21, made her runway debut at New York Fashion Week for designer Alexis Bittar’s “Miss USA 1991” presentation. Wilson, who is a trans model, represented the state of South Carolina in the show, wearing a shimmering red gown and a pair of dramatic gold earrings from Bittar’s spring 2026 collection.

In an Instagram post, Bittar wrote that his presentation was about “misogyny, unchecked predators, objectification and trans rights.” He also thanked Wilson for “trusting me” and for “honoring me with your first show as Miss South Carolina.”

This is not Wilson’s first time on a catwalk. She recently made a catwalk appearance at the Season 10 premiere of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” in New York City, where she was seen voguing and flipping her hair.

Wilson has been estranged from her father since she came out as trans in 2020. She has publicly clapped back at her father for deadnaming her on social media. In March, Wilson told Teen Vogue that she had known she was trans for a few months and worried she would go down a “destructive path” if she didn’t transition.

Elon Musk, 54, has vocally opposed his daughter’s transition, but he still gave the green light for her to receive gender-affirming care as a minor. He has since said that he was “tricked” into doing so.
