Kaia Gerber stepped out at the New York premiere of The Shards wearing a sheer silver Valentino gown, sparking widespread comparisons to her mother, supermodel Cindy Crawford. According to the Associated Press, the 24-year-old model and actress wore a slinky column-style dress featuring sheer tulle dotted with tiny sequins beneath lattice-style diamond sequin embroidery, styled with square neckline spaghetti straps, diamond earrings, a cocktail ring, and silver shoes.
Red Carpet Look Evokes Cindy Crawford’s 1990s Era
The combination of a bouncy blowout, a 1990s-inspired gown design, and smoldering eye makeup prompted observers to draw immediate parallels to archival photographs of Crawford on past red carpets, as reported by the Associated Press. Gerber told Vogue in 2019 that she initially didn’t see the family resemblance at all. “Now I will look at a picture and have to take a moment before realising which one of us it is,” Gerber said in that interview.
Crawford shares Kaia and her brother Presley with her husband, American businessman Rande Gerber. Presley Gerber also works as a model.
Nostalgic Connections On Screen in The Shards
Beyond fashion choices, Gerber’s latest professional project carries a distinct historical tie to her mother’s past. According to the Associated Press, Homer Gere—the son of actor Richard Gere—stars alongside Gerber in The Shards, a new television series based on Bret Easton Ellis’ semi-autobiographical novel. Richard Gere was married to Cindy Crawford from 1991 to 1995.
