It was a good Mother's Day celebration for Robin Wright and her daughter Dylan Penn. The two spent Mother's Day making the most of the Californian sun at a beach in Malibu.  Dylan sported a teal bikini while her mother wore a pair of denim shorts and an oversized striped dress shirt. The 'House of Cards' actress wore dark sunglasses paired with a rancher hat to keep the sun away. 

This is not the first time that Dylan made a public appearance with her mother. She accompanied Wright to the 69th Emmy Awards, where the actress was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her work of Claire Underwood on 'House of Cards'.

Dylan has shared a close relationship with her parents - mother Wright and father Sean Penn - despite their divorce in 2010. She was also seen with her father at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival.

As a model, Dylan has appeared in several modeling campaigns for Gap and has even made an appearance in a music video for 'Chains' by Nick Jonas. She has also appeared in GQ, W, and Elle Magazine throughout her career. 

But before she got into modeling, she was delivering pizzas, worked as a waitress, and even as a freelance screenplay editor. She was also working in New York as a restaurant hostess and an intern in an advertising agency. 

In 2014, at the age of 22, she posed for Tony Duran for the erotica and fine arts magazine 'treats!' - the issue was released in April that year. "I have always loved [Tony’s] black and white nudes, they were always so tastefully done and, more specifically, showed that certain elegant yet strong beauty that I think all women embody," she had said at the time.

Following this, she made her debut in 'Condemned' in 2015. Before this, the daughter of acclaimed actors Penn and Wright had never imagined acting. "I swore I would never do a horror film, but when I read the script and met him I couldn’t resist, it just seemed like it would be so much fun to make and I really wanted my first experience to be just that… plus, three weeks in New York...in the spring...and getting paid for it?! Fuck yes!" she had said

A year later, she worked on the comedy-drama film 'Elvis & Nixon' with Kevin Spacey. 

Coming to her personal life, Dylan has a younger brother Hopper Penn, who was embroiled in a drug case.
