The celebrity fitness instructor and her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model daughter were all smiles walking the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Thursday, July 11. Denise, 67, dazzled in a white gown with a thigh-high slit and silver accessories. Her signature blonde hair was styled into loose, shoulder-length waves.

Katie opted for a revealing red gown with dramatic cutout details and a '90s-inspired updo with face-framing pieces.

While posing for cameras on the carpet, Denise proudly pointed toward her daughter and proclaimed, "Sports Illustrated model!" PEOPLE captured the adorable moment. A photographer then asked the duo for a photo of them jumping in the air to which they immediately obliged, still flexing their impressive biceps.

The influencer chose a Vivienne Westwood wedding gown and for the rehearsal dinner, wore her mom's 1983 wedding dress, which she got tailored to be a minidress.
