Ella followed in the footsteps of her parents, Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, when she decided to become an actor
Fans in the comments remarked how similar Ella looks to Warren's older sister Shirley MacLaine
Ella Beatty is reflecting on her famous family — and some fans can't believe her resemblance to her famous aunt.
Ella, 26, opened up about her family in a Sept. 10 interview with Extra. She is the daughter of legendary actors Annette Bening and Warren Beatty. Warren, 89, followed in the footsteps of his older sister, Shirley MacLaine (who adapted her mother's maiden name for her stage name), when he got into acting. MacLaine, now 92, appeared on Broadway in the early 1950s as Warren was studying in New York City at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting.

Although Ella Beatty made her screen debut just a couple years ago in 2024's "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans," it didn't take long for her to dominate the red carpet. As the daughter of "Dutton Ranch" star Annette Bening, Ella Beatty grew up to be gorgeous. But Bening can't take all the credit. Not only does Ella call Bening mom, but her father is Warren Beatty, therefore making Ella officially the daughter of Hollywood royalty. This means that acting is in her blood, and so is knowing how to slay on the red carpet. After all, even before Ella started her own career as a stage and screen actor, she was accompanying her parents to awards ceremonies as young as the age of 4.
While it can take some people a long time to find their footing on the red carpet, for example even fellow nepo baby Dakota Johnson has had quite a few inappropriate outfits, that hasn't been the case with Ella. Whether it's a fashion stylist pulling the strings behind the scenes, her phenomenal genetics, or a deep understanding of what looks good on her and what doesn't, Ella knows what she's doing. Because of this, she's becoming a red-carpet superstar.

When Ella Beatty attended the 78th Annual Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall in June 2025 she leaned into Old Hollywood glamour, and we love that for her. Her black gown consisted of a tiered waist and a halter-style neck, an outfit she completed with black satin elbow-length opera gloves and a few rings and bracelets. From head to toe, Beatty wore Chanel and stunned, to say the very least. In addition to keeping her makeup on the more minimal side, she completed her look with waves in her long cascading locks.

Warren Beatty may have stepped away from the Hollywood spotlight, but a source exclusively tells Examiner that he's been closely following his and Annette Bening's daughter Ella's burgeoning acting career from home.
"Ella hasn't had a massive hit yet, but she's steadily winning roles in highly competitive situations and even more importantly, people are noticing that she actually delivers when she gets one of these parts," the source says.
According to the source, even though Beatty, 89, rarely mingles in Hollywood circles, he still keeps track of Ella's accomplishments.
"As reclusive as he's been for a while, word still gets back to Warren when Ella manages to impress a producer or a studio executive," the source continues. "The filmmakers who work with her really do see her as a natural like her mom, Annette."
The source adds that it's "been a weird time for the family" since the ***** Tracy star began to "pull back from the Hollywood scene over the last few years." However, Ella's "slow, steady rise has been a bright spot."

Annette Cowley Nel's dreams of winning a swimming gold at the 1986 Commonwealth Games were dashed by a political storm.
On the eve of her race at the competition in Edinburgh, she was banned from competing and escorted from the athletes' village by police.
But now, 40 years later, things will come an emotional full circle when she watches her daughters compete at the Games.
Twins Georgia and Olivia Nel have both been named in South Africa's swimming team for the Games, which get under way in Glasgow next month.
"It is incredibly special that they have both made the Commonwealth Games," said Cowley Nel.

Chile votes for its next president and parliament on Sunday in a contest expected to favor the right as candidates play on popular fears over organized crime and immigration. On the surface, Sunday’s election offers Chileans a dramatic choice between two extremes: Jeannette Jara, 51, a card-carrying communist and former labor minister in the left-wing government, and, among other right-wing contenders, José Antonio Kast, 59, an ultraconservative lawyer and former lawmaker who opposes abortion and vows to shrink the state. In a feat of political gymnastics, the communist candidate has promoted
