Singer-actor Justin Timberlake attended a charity gala in Denver on Saturday in support of his 7-year-old niece, Zaya, who has Down syndrome.
At the Global Down Syndrome Foundation’s annual “Be Beautiful Be Yourself” fashion show, Mr. Timberlake posed on the red carpet with Zaya and her parents, Rose and Justin Biel. Mr. Biel is the younger brother of actress Jessica Biel, Mr. Timberlake’s wife.
Mr. Timberlake later walked the runway, where his sons, Silas, 11, and Phineas, 6, made a surprise appearance.

“We walked my beautiful niece Zaya down the @globaldownsyndrome runway last night,” Mr. Timberlake captioned a photo. He also posted a red carpet photo of himself and Zaya with the caption “proud uncle!”
The event raised $2.7 million for Down syndrome research and care. Jessica Biel, 44, was unable to attend because of work commitments, according to a press release from the foundation.
