Kaia Gerber Dazzles in Alaïa for ‘Palm Royale’ Premiere
In a fashion moment that left onlookers spellbound, Kaia Gerber graced the premiere of the highly anticipated Apple TV+ miniseries ‘Palm Royale’ with her impeccable sartorial prowess. Clad in a mesmerizing turquoise Alaïa creation, the 22-year-old model and actress channeled the show’s ’60s South Floridan aesthetic with effortless elegance.
The high-neck minidress, a testament to Alaïa’s unparalleled craftsmanship, draped down one sleeve in a captivating display of asymmetry. Gerber’s choice of a darker fringe belt, worn beneath the dress, added a touch of bohemian flair, perfectly complementing the minimalistic aesthetic. Completing the ensemble, a pair of pristine white pumps lent a timeless sophistication to her overall look.
At first glance, the light blue draping minidress appeared deceptively simple, yet upon closer inspection, its high collar and single sleeve revealed layers of uniqueness that elevated the entire ensemble. However, the true showstopper was the dark blue fringed belt that peeked out from the side of the dress, accompanied by a coordinating dark blue bodice – a masterful fusion of breezy and chic, ideally suited for the March premiere of a series exploring South Floridan high society.
Gerber’s arctic-blue gown from the Alaïa Fall/Winter ’24 ready-to-wear collection was a true masterpiece of design. The asymmetrical, layered minidress featured a turtleneck top layer that draped towards the model’s left arm, creating a billowing sleeve, leaving her other arm bare. The gathered material at the back formed a stunning balloonlike shape, while the cerulean bodysuit underneath mirrored the flowing silhouette, with strips of material resembling blades of switchgrass.
The frock’s asymmetrical drape design and intricate bodice detailing were complemented by Gerber’s choice of white pointed-toe pumps and a dainty nude manicure. For her glam, the ‘Palm Royale’ star, who portrays Mitzi in the series, donned soft makeup featuring long lashes and pink lips, while her brunette tresses were parted down the middle and styled in beachy waves.
To complete her captivating look, Gerber, with the guidance of stylist Danielle Goldberg, added a pair of bright white heels featuring thin straps wrapped around her ankles. The ‘Bottoms’ star left her hair down and parted down the middle for the event, allowing her slightly wavy tresses to shine.
Gerber’s star continues to rise in 2024, with notable television appearances earlier this month as a guest judge on ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ and a cameo as herself in an episode of the Peacock stop-motion political-satire series ‘In the Know.’ As we eagerly await her performance in ‘Palm Royale’ premiering on March 20, Gerber has once again solidified her status as a fashion icon to watch.
