Kaia Gerber: Complete Style Evolution — See Photos

From the '00s to today.

November 17, 2021

Kaia Gerber attends during Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Fall Winter 20192020 on March 04 2019 in Paris France.

What is there to say about Kaia Gerber that wasn’t destined to be true from the moment she first started attending events with her parents, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber? She secured her first modeling gig at age 10 (for Versace, by the way) and starred in a Miu Miu eyewear campaign at just 14. It wasn’t a matter of if she’d follow in her supermodel mom’s footsteps, but when.

As her modeling career has steadily (and stylishly) evolved, we’ve watched her sense of personal style evolve, too. As she's set to make her TV debut, we charted Kaia Gerber’s fashion evolution from her childhood in the early aughts to now.

Kaia's new bangs made their red carpet debut at the 6th Annual InStyle Awards in Los Angeles, California. The model, who previously debuted the hairdo on social media, showed off her fresh cut while wearing a dress from Alexander McQueen's Spring/Summer 2022 collection. The brand describes the piece as “a trompe l'oeil tank dress with dégradé blue sky crystal and sequin shard rain embroidery.”

For a night out in West Hollywood, Kaia opted for this denim jumpsuit. Visually, the look gives off Canadian Tuxedo vibes but without the extra layers for summer. (Smart!) Of course, she rounded off the looks with the accessories of the season: sunglasses and a shoulder bag.
