In a clip uploaded to Instagram on Tuesday, Ellen and Stella are seen posing next to each other just before leaving for the ceremony.

On her Instagram Story, Ellen shared hilarious footage of Stella panicking as she watched her mother lay awkwardly in their SUV so she wouldn’t rip her skirt.
She wrote about the clip: ‘Oh the glamour…’
In another fun video, taken from Ellen’s POV in the glamorous chair, Stella is seen wearing a hoodie and sweatpants as she cheers with her mom’s huge entourage.
Ellen is famously private when it comes to talking about her children and family life.
She married Chris, a music producer, in 2007.
They are based in Malibu, California, and their mid-century modern residence was featured in Architectural summary in 2022.
In the cover story, Ellen addressed the fact that her children are mixed race and how necessary it is to have Black representation in the artwork that fills their home.
“Obviously my children are black and it’s very important to me to have a lot of representation in the artwork,” Ellen told the outlet.
“Usually I really try hard to have it be predominantly black artists or have its subjects be black people who have had such an impact on our history here in the United States.”
Ellen has largely kept her children off her social media, with the star last posting Stella in July 2022.

In October, she jokingly told her followers that she hopes to be seen as a “cool mom” by her teenage daughter.
Ellen was one of Monday night’s hosts at the 2024 Emmys.
But it was an extra special appearance as she reunited with her former Grey’s Anatomy co-stars Katherine Heigl, 45, Chandra Wilson, 54, Austin Chambers, 53, and James Pickens Jr., 69.
Ellen played series lead Meredith Gray from 2005 until her departure as a series regular in 2023.
The reunion came 14 years after Heigl left the show amid rumblings of a budding feud.
They reunited on Monday to mark the show’s 20th season, making it the longest-running primetime medical drama in TV history.
They also presented the Emmy for Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Anthology Series or Movie.
Announcing the stars, host Anthony Anderson said: “With 39 Emmy nominations and multiple wins. From the series we welcome Ellen Pompeo, Justin Chambers, James Pickens Jr., five-time Emmy nominee Chandra Wilson and Emmy winner Katherine Heigl.
“When the first episode of Grey’s Anatomy aired in March 2005, I’m not sure Shonda Rhimes knew she had created a show that would have a lasting impact on television and create lifelong friendships.
‘There will be more than 400 episodes, a tribute to everyone who was part of our family.
