Bombshell: Kaia Gerber oozed classic Hollywood glamour in a midriff-baring black minidress with cutouts above both her hips under an oversized leather jacket with silver zippers while gracing the spring 2023 issue of i-D

Kaia Gerber oozed classic Hollywood glamour in a midriff-baring black minidress with cutouts above both her hips under an oversized leather jacket with silver zippers while gracing the spring 2023 issue of i-D. 

While posing with both hands in her pockets and Coca-Cola cans as rollers in her hair, the 21-year-old supermodel shot the camera a smoldering stare as she winked at the camera and smiled seductively. 

In addition to the thigh-skimming frock, the catwalk queen, who made her runway debut for Raf Simons’s Calvin Klein Collection at just 16, slipped into a cropped white t-shirt and a billowing, semi-sheer tulle skirt.

As she laid in a grassy field, the bombshell looked peaceful with her eyes shut as she displayed the tiny tattoos on her left inner left arm, black underwear and toned midriff. 

Another image showed the performer rocking a white flowers above her breasts, wet hair and minimal makeup.

Last month, the bombshell daughter of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber opened up about how she felt ‘lonely’ without her family nearby as a teen, at the start of her career, as modeling gigs took her around the world.

‘I’m only 21, and I feel like I’ve lived a whole life already,’ the American Horror Story star told the fashion magazine. 

Still, even with the challenges that come with her demanding schedule, the actress said: ‘Even when I was really tired, or wanted to go home, or felt lonely, I would remind myself how lucky I was.’ 

Kaia learned a lot while traveling to places like Paris and Milan for her job.

‘Having the opportunity to travel taught me so much from such a young age,’ said the girlfriend of Austin Butler. ‘I got this really amazing education.’

She added: ‘I have this catalog of images that has recorded my growing up. You’re growing, and you’re changing: your body, what you like, your taste. Being surrounded by so many creatives shaped my taste. I’m very much an observer, and I retain a lot.’

As for the wisdom her supermodel mom provided, Kaia recalls being told to ‘be on time’ and ‘take the time to learn people’s names.’

‘Be nice to everyone. If you’re not grateful and happy to be there, there’s someone who would be,’ the five-foot-ten beauty said of lessons her mother taught her. 

But she found friends in the modeling industry to lean on, and she didn’t see the cattiness or competitiveness she had been warned about.

‘I fell into the trap of believing that,’ said Kaia of the catfights on the runway that she feels don’t really exist.

‘Especially at that time, I was really shy,’ noted the star who booked huge jobs at 18.

‘I kept to myself, and I was nervous. You’re coming from high school girls who are so scary, and so I assumed that that would be the culture. I got lucky meeting incredible people from all over the world who took me under their wing. I felt so much comfort in having this family away from my own family,’ noted the cover girl.

Some of her models friends are Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber.

But she was able to reconnect with her family during lockdown from Covid.

‘Honestly, it came at a time when I really needed it, and it was a really difficult time in the world, but I really had reached a point where I just felt like I was falling out of love with it [modeling], and I didn’t know that you could ask for a break,’ said the star.

 

‘I was forced to stop, and I realized how badly I needed one.

‘When you’re being told what to do every day, you don’t have time to sit and reflect. But I had gone through so many changes and had so many massive things happen to me over the years that I was modeling.

‘I had four or five years of processing to do,’ noted the California native.

‘I felt so lucky that I got to be with my family because I’d spent so much time away from them, and I realized I had so much guilt about missing birthdays and things. I had been traveling since I was a teenager, and so I got to develop an adult relationship with my family.’

It was a healing time for her.

‘I developed so much deeper relationships in my life, and also a connection to myself. When you’re forced to sit with yourself, all of a sudden, you’re aware of all the stuff you haven’t dealt with.

‘There wasn’t communication happening between me and myself, and I felt out of body sometimes. Once I developed that, I was like, “This isn’t something I want to give up.”

‘My personal life and my mental health are not something I’m willing to sacrifice for my job ever again. Right now, I’m getting to work at home, which is a beautiful thing, and not traveling all the time. I come home, and I’m with my dog. I have friends, and I’m cooking dinner. I see my therapist, and I see my family.’

Kaia is also pursuing a movie career. She was in American Horror Stories, and, more recently, had a small part with Brad Pitt in Babylon. Next is Bottoms with Ruby Cruz for director Emma Seligman.
