Mother-Daughter Duo Take Manhattan: Kaia Gerber and Cindy Crawford Turn Heads at New York Fashion Soirees
New York City has been graced by the presence of two of fashion’s biggest icons this week. Kaia Gerber, 22, and her legendary supermodel mother Cindy Crawford, 57, have been spotted at not one, but two glamorous Manhattan soirees, proving their reign over the fashion world is still going strong.
On Wednesday evening, the genetically blessed pair was seen arriving at the 74th National Book Awards held at Cipriani Wall Street. Gerber looked every bit the burgeoning style star in a earthy-toned strapless gown with a leather bustier top and sumptuous suede skirt that skimmed the floor as she walked. With her dark locks swept back, she allowed the dress to take center stage. Crawford also opted for neutral hues, donning an elegant black tweed two-piece ensemble with a classic collared jacket and midi length skirt. Both Gerber and Crawford epitomized polished sophistication with their choices, proving themselves to be adept aficionados of eveningwear.
Earlier in the week on Tuesday, the duo attended an event for luxury watchmaker Omega, both clad in sharp black ensembles. Gerber went for an edgy look, wearing a black leather corset mini dress that showed off her long, lean legs. She paired the dress with pointed-toe pumps and a sleek updo. Crawford also flaunted her famous figure in a black blazer dress with a thigh-high slit. At the event, Crawford quipped about her daughter’s mile-long legs, telling the crowd, “Just in case you’re wondering, she has longer legs than me.”
Indeed, it seems the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree when it comes to Gerber inheriting her mother’s leggy physique. But Crawford passed on more than just genetic gifts to her daughter. She also instilled in Gerber a passion for fashion early on. Gerber revealed at the Omega event which of her mother’s legendary catwalk looks she would most like to recreate – the iconic Versace safety pin dress Crawford wore in the ’90s that immediately became fashion history.
While Gerber may be following in her supermodel mother’s footsteps, she is also blazing her own trail in the fashion world. The young talent has already graced the covers of Vogue and other major fashion magazines and walked in shows for top designers like Chanel, Marc Jacobs and Alexander Wang. Judging by her stylish turns at this week’s events, we have no doubt Gerber’s star will continue to rise as she carries on the family’s fashion legacy.
With their commanding presence and flawless style, Kaia Gerber and Cindy Crawford proved they continue to be New York’s reigning mother-daughter fashion royalty. Their sophisticated choices perfectly encapsulated their confidence and poise as icons of the industry. In a city where spectacle is the norm, Gerber and Crawford still manage to stand out from the crowd and dazzle.
