Kaia Gerber Recreates One of Cindy Crawford’s Most Iconic Looks at TIFF

It’s a daughter’s rite of passage—her duty, even—to borrow from her mother’s closet, but Kaia Gerber and Cindy Crawford are taking that mother-daughter bond to the next level. At the premiere of Shell at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, Gerber paid homage to Crawford with her red carpet look.

The model and budding actor looked the spitting image of her supermodel mother in a white Hervé Leger body-con maxi dress with a sweetheart neckline and underwire cups—a recreation of Crawford’s 1993 Oscars dress, custom-made for the occasion. “Kaia had sent me a mood board for TIFF and this was one of her references,” Molly Dickson, Gerber’s stylist, tells Vogue. “I thought it would be amazing to pay tribute to Cindy’s iconic moment.”

Like her mom, Gerber accessorized with a pair of white pointy-toe pumps. But the connection to Crawford didn’t end with the dress. Gerber also dug into her mother’s impressive jewelry archive, settling on vintage diamond jewelry and a vintage Omega watch from Crawford’s personal collection for TIFF.

While Dickson dressed Gerber in a black archival Donna Karan halter dress for the premiere of her film Saturday Night, she knew that Shell (which co-stars Elisabeth Moss and Kate Hudson) called for a wow factor. Luckily, when set free in Cindy Crawford’s closet, Kaia Gerber had a wealth of references to pull from.
