Jamie Lee Curtis' transgender daughter has made her first red-carpet appearance after coming out as her true self to the world.

The 63-year-old actress, donning a glamorous red dress, hit the red carpet at the Hollywood premiere of Halloween Ends with her two daughters Ruby and Annie.

Her 26-year-old daughter Ruby, who works as a video editor, donned a silver gown alongside her mother and sister in what was her first red-carpet look since publicly coming out as a transgender woman in 2021.

Curtis took to her Instagram to share a photo from the movie event and couldn't help but gush about her daughters to her 4.5 million followers, writing: "My family. Proudest mother. Loving support."

Check out her post below:

The Everything, Everywhere all at Once actress and her husband Christopher Guest adopted Annie in 1986 and Ruby in 1996.

In 2020, Ruby came out as transgender to her parents and in 2021 she did a special interview with People magazine about how she came out to her family via text messages.

"It was scary - Just the sheer fact of telling them something about me they didn't know," Ruby said. "It was intimidating – but I wasn't worried."

"They had been so accepting of me my entire life. Like, people will still remember me for who I was, but I haven't changed that," she said, adding, "They finally get to see who I've always been, you know, inside, but now I finally get to show it on the outside."

The mother of two has been open about her daughter's journey, and in a recent interview with Spain's Cadena SER radio, she spoke about Ruby's experience and the transphobia she faces.

"I have a trans daughter. There are threats against her life just [for] her existence as a human being," she said. "There are people that want to annihilate her and people like her."

"The level of hatred... [It's] as if we haven't learned from fascism, [as if] we haven't learned what the result of that is: The extermination of human beings. That is terrifying," she continued. "So Jamie Lee Curtis is scared, and you should be too."

"And that's how we change things. We think about them, we learn about them and then we use our voices to bring attention to them and fight against them," Curtis added.

After the premiere, Ruby also joined her mother, her wife Kynthia, and Annie at the Freaky Friday actress' hand and footprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theater.

The Theater's handprints-footprints award has been a Hollywood honor for the past 95 years with previous prestigious honorees including Judy Garland, Bette Davis, and Elizabeth Taylor.

Also, Curtis's final Halloween movie premiere comes four months after she officiated the wedding of Ruby and Kynthia during a backyard event where attendants came in cosplay attire.

"We're gonna have a beautiful picnic in the backyard. I'm really excited," the Knives out actress told Jimmy Kimmel Live! host Jimmy Kimmel about the wedding in March.

"Both my children will have been married in my backyard, which brings me to tears," she explained. "It's so much more meaningful. Just forgetting all of show-off business - being a parent, having both of your children married in your backyard."
