She reminisced about her childhood in the caption, stating, “I haven’t had bangs since I was about 9… so here we go again I guess! At least for a little while.”
This nod to her younger years wasn’t an isolated incident; Ella has a history of sharing throwback photos that showcase similar hairstyles. In 2023, she took to Instagram to post a tender throwback snap that captured her young self with long hair and full bangs, cozily hugging her mom in bed.
Similarly, in 2022, she celebrated her father’s birthday with another throwback photo, her childhood bangs in full display. Accompanying the picture, Ella penned a heartfelt birthday greeting to her dad, whom she affectionately called her best friend and role model.
Ella’s hair isn’t the only thing about her that has recently garnered attention. We previously reported that Ella Bleu showcased her fashion sense in a breathtaking all-black ensemble. She donned an outfit that looked like a jumpsuit. The sequined top featured a plunging neckline that tastefully revealed her mid-section, blending modern style with timeless elegance.

She finished off her look with a tiny belt. Fans and fashion enthusiasts alike quickly admired her look, flooding the comments section with praise and adoration.

Ella is not just a fashion inspiration; she is also a talented actress following in the footsteps of her famous parents. From a young age, Ella was enchanted by the performing arts world.

“Since I was very little, I’ve loved performing, singing, dancing, and putting on shows at home for my family and friends,” she shared. Her passion for acting was nurtured in a household that valued creativity and expression, where attendance at her homespun plays was mandatory.

Her parents always encouraged her from the front row, whether she was reenacting “The Hulk” or playing a “Housewife of Maine” at home. As time passed, Ella’s performances in front of her parents turned into screen acting with roles in “Old Dogs” and “The Poison Rose,” alongside Morgan Freeman and her father.
Admittedly, having her father present on set helped a lot. “He’s the best mentor ever. When I have any questions, my mom and dad have the best advice, and that’s amazing. I love that it’s sort of the family business!” she said. John Travolta, now 70, is raising his two children alone, including his son, Ben. He tragically lost his wife to breast cancer in 2020.
Kelly Preston, celebrated American actress and cherished wife of Hollywood icon John, passed away on July 12, 2020, after a courageous two-year battle with breast cancer. She was 57 and left a legacy of love, talent, and inspiration.
Her passing deeply affected her husband and their children, Ella and Benjamin, casting a shadow of grief over the family and leaving them to navigate a world without her physical presence.
Preston’s acting career, which began in 1980, flourished with roles in memorable films such as “Mischief,” “For Love of the Game,” and “Jerry Maguire,” among others. Her portrayal of Victoria Gotti in the 2018 film “Gotti,” alongside John as John Gotti, marked a poignant moment in her career, showcasing their dynamic both on-screen and off.
Beyond her professional achievements, Preston was a devoted wife and mother, marrying Travolta in 1991 and welcoming their daughter, Ella, on April 3, 2000, and their son, Benjamin, in 2010. The family faced unimaginable grief with the loss of their eldest son, Jett, in 2009, yet their bond remained unbreakable, fortified by love and shared memories.
Now an adult, Ella is a mirror image of her late mother, not only in appearance but also in spirit and talent. She has gracefully stepped into the entertainment industry, demonstrating her acting prowess and musical abilities, much like her illustrious parents.
Her contributions to film and music, coupled with her recent ventures into fashion, signal a bright future ahead, one that honors her mother’s legacy while forging her own path.
