Tori Spelling and Look-Alike Daughter Stella McDermott Stun at Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights as 18-Year-Old Towers Over Her Mom

Tori Spelling stepped out alongside her look-alike 18-year-old daughter, Stella McDermott, for an evening at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights, revealing an unexpected height difference on the red carpet. Standing several inches above the 53-year-old actress, Stella showcased just how fast the next generation of the famous Hollywood family has grown up.

Spelling posted the red carpet moment to Instagram with the succinct caption, “October looks good on us. 🖤.” The public outing highlighted not just their striking family resemblance, but also an edgy, coordinated mother-daughter aesthetic that turned heads outside the studio’s haunted attractions.

Both mother and daughter coordinated in all-black seasonal ensembles, accented by matching platinum blond locks. The styling leaned heavily into early 2000s grunge, fitting the high-energy spooky season atmosphere at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Breaking Down the Red Carpet Ensembles

The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum built her outfit around a fitted black leather tube top paired with baggy black cargo jeans. She added heavy chain detailing held up by black suspenders, rounding out the look with lace fingerless gloves and classic black Converse sneakers.

Stella complemented her mother’s aesthetic while putting her own modern twist on the trend. The 18-year-old wore a black off-the-shoulder long-sleeve top alongside denim micro shorts, sheer striped tights, and chunky black UGG-style boots that accentuated her commanding height over her mom.

Navigating Post-Divorce Co-Parenting

While public perception frequently assumes high-profile Hollywood splits devolve into bitter custody battles, Spelling and her ex-husband Dean McDermott have pushed back against that narrative. The former couple finalized their divorce in November 2025, wrapping up legal proceedings two years after their June 2023 separation ended 17 years of marriage.

Despite the high-profile split, the duo continues to show up together for key family milestones across Southern California.

“We love and care about each other so much, and I was shocked just because I always read horror stories and everyone predicted it to be so messy, the divorce, and it was super easy and loving,” Spelling shared.

The co-parents reunited in June to cheer Stella on during her high school graduation ceremony. Sitting side-by-side, McDermott snapped photos as their eldest daughter received her diploma, showing a united front.

The Spelling-McDermott Family Roster

Spelling and McDermott share five children together, maintaining shared dinners and family activities to keep routines grounded for their household.

Spelling has emphasized that maintaining consistent communication remains the top priority for their children’s well-being.

“I watched families go through horror stories with the parents, and at the end of the day, you created beings because you had so much love between you,” Spelling noted regarding their friendly dynamic.
