By now we’re accustomed to Kaia Gerber’s wardrobe choices. During her casual outings, she often opts for a tank top, well-fitted jeans and a pair of Adidas Samba trainers, reminiscent of her mother Cindy Crawford’s iconic off-duty style. However, on the red carpet, Kaia leans towards elegant gowns, occasionally embellished for added glamour, yet typically featuring clean and understated silhouettes. However, her recent public appearance revealed a departure towards a more whimsical, retro-inspired fashion direction.
At the premiere of Apple TV+’s Palm Royale in Beverly Hills – in which she takes on the role of Mitzi, a local manicurist – the model progeny-turned-actor arrived in a sophisticated ensemble with a modern twist on a quirky ’60s silhouette. Designed by Alaïa’s creative director Pieter Mulier, her outfit included a turquoise high-neck asymmetrical dress crafted from draped crepe georgette, paired with a coordinating blue fringe belt from the brand’s spring/summer 2024 collection. She completed the look with striking white leather ankle-strap pumps.
Given her role as the star of Alaïa’s spring/summer 2024 campaign, lensed by Tyrone Lebon, it’s no surprise that Kaia chose to rock the brand’s pieces on the red carpet. While Mulier’s unconventional details add a touch of eccentricity to Kaia’s usual minimalist aesthetic, the overall sleekness of the designs resonates well with her personal style.
