Kaia Gerber is no stranger to the spotlight. Or the red carpet, for that matter. As the daughter of hospitality maven Rande Gerber and supermodel Cindy Crawford, the model and actress has been hitting the step and repeat since the tender age of five.
Now—regardless if she’s flying solo, alongside her boyfriend Austin Butler, or posted up with her ever-stylish mom—Gerber has managed to establish entirely unique red carpet signatures. She’s worn plenty of top brands like Celine, Alaïa, Alexander McQueen, and Saint Laurent to awards ceremonies and premieres (both Butler’s and her own after recently dipping her toes into acting with Bottoms and Palm Royale). But there’s also a through line of timeless, classic silhouettes, whether she’s referencing Old Hollywood icons like Audrey Hepburn and Bianca Jagger or showing off the runway’s latest offerings. Below, a look through Kaia Gerber’s most memorable red carpet moments.
