“Landman” actress Ali Larter stepped onto the red carpet at Step Up’s 2026 Inspiration Awards at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles on Friday, September 25. The nonprofit is dedicated to empowering girls through mentorship and career exploration, making the event a fitting for Larter to bring along her daughter, Vivienne Margaret MacArthur, 11.

The actress brought her 11-year-old daughter, Vivienne Margaret MacArthur, to the red carpet, and the duo looked adorable as they posed and smiled for photos.
Larter, 50, opted for a polished, business-inspired look for the occasion, wearing a matching navy blue blazer and trousers with a brown silk camisole underneath and tan suede open-toed heels. Meanwhile, Vivienne, who is nearly just as tall as her mom, coordinated with her famous mom in an adorable navy blue mini dress paired with sneakers.
A close-up shot of Larter and Vivienne highlighted one of the features they have in common: their beautiful blue eyes. In the photo, Vivienne sweetly leaned her head against her mom as they posed on the carpet.
GettyAccording to People, the “Landman” star and her husband, actor Hayes MacArthur, welcomed Vivienne on January 15, 2015. Vivienne shares her middle name with her maternal grandmother, Margaret Larter.

GettyLarter and her husband also have a son, Theodore “Teddy” Hayes MacArthur, who was born on December 20, 2010, and looks just like his dad. Although the actress does not share many photos of her family on social media, she shared a carousel of images when the family of four went on a European vacation in 2025.
In the snapshots shared on Instagram, the family poses together for a sweet selfie while in Venice, Italy. Other photos show Vivienne and Theodore taking an adorable photo together on the Italian streets, and another shows Vivienne on Teddy’s shoulders while playing in the ocean. The actress also shared a photo of her and Vivienne in their bathing suits as they lounged on a boat. “🇮🇹 Venice 👉 Florence 👉 Sardinia 🇮🇹,” the actress captioned her images.
Larter and MacArthur’s children did make a rare appearance this past summer. According to People, Vivienne and Theodore were by their mom’s side when they attended the 25th anniversary of “Legally Blonde” in New York City in June. Of course, fans know that Larter starred as Brooke Taylor Windham, whom Reese Witherspoon’s character, Elle Woods’ famously defends in the courtroom.
When it comes to her kids watching her most famous films, Larter shared on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” that they both have seen her in “Legally Blonde” but have “scarred” not only her son, but her husband and father for her famous role as Darcy Sears in the 1999 cult classic “Varsity Blues.”
