By now, you're fully aware that Kaia Gerber gets her genes from her mom [1], Cindy Crawford [2]. But it doesn't just come down to their looks — the supermodels both have a knack for making the most simple outfits appear elevated [3]. Take Kaia Gerber's latest spotting in Malibu, for example. Kaia was only wearing a pair of mom jeans [4], a slashed tank, and some high-rise Converse [5], but she looked as though she had just walked off a photo shoot. Not so — Kaia was just hanging with friends.
Nevertheless, the street style shot immediately conjured images of mom Cindy in the 1995 film Fair Game, when she wore pretty much the exact same outfit combination. That's not to say Kaia didn't give the Summer separates her own modern spin, swinging a neutral crossbody bag across her shoulder and trying out one of the latest denim trends [6] in the book. (FYI: unevenly ripped crop tops [7] are also having their moment.) Read on to compare the queens of denim, then shop our favorite takes on Kaia's ensemble.
