Kaia Gerber and Cindy Crawford's Runway Debuts
Kaia Gerber made her runway debut last night, further proving that she's following in her mom Cindy Crawford’s supermodel footsteps. The 16-year-old has often been described as the spitting image of her mother, but on her first catwalk yesterday, that was even more so - especially when compared to Crawford’s own debut.
Gerber walked for Calvin Klein on Thursday night in a two-tone oxford shirt, yellow pants, blue turtleneck, yellow pants, and boots - a part of Raf Simon's take on Americana style. Her debut came 26 years after Crawford's, which was at Donna Karan's Spring 1991 collection.
The models couldn't have been dressed any more differently (fashion can change a lot in two and a half decades); Crawford sported an edgy-feminine ensemble clad with denim and gold chains while her daughter donned a more androgynous, color-blocked outfit. But their faces? Nearly identical.
Crawford was about 24 when she first walked for Donna Karan, but Gerber got to hit that milestone eight years earlier. The supermodel has openly expressed how she's mentored her daughter as she makes her mark in the modeling world, so she was unsurprisingly proud when Kaia walked her first runway.
"Congrats @KaiaGerber! What a way to kick off your first runway season!! So excited for you!" she wrote to her daughter on Instagram.
