Kaia Gerber’s Best Red Carpet Looks Are Pure Old Hollywood Elegance

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 star has been hitting the step-and-repeat since the tender age of five.

These days—whether she’s flying solo or posted up with her ever-stylish mom—Gerber has managed to establish her own unique red-carpet signatures. She’s worn plenty of top brands like Celine, Alaïa, Alexander McQueen, and Saint Laurent to awards ceremonies. And in recent years, the model-turned-actor—who has starred in Bottoms, Palm Royale, and most recently, Ryan Murphy’s The Shards—has leaned into classic Hollywood glamour. Through it all, she maintains a love for timeless silhouettes, whether she’s referencing 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.
