Kaia Gerber oozed classic Hollywood glamor in a midriff-baring black minidress with cutouts over both hips beneath an oversized leather jacket with silver zippers as she graced the iD Spring 2023 Issue.
Posing with both hands in her pockets and Coca-Cola cans in curlers in her hair, the 21-year-old supermodel shot the camera a smoldering look as she winked and smiled seductively.
In addition to the thigh-skimming dress, the runway queen, who made her runway debut for Raf Simons’ Calvin Klein collection at just 16, donned a white cropped T-shirt and billowing semi-sheer tulle skirt.
As she lay on a grassy field, the bombshell appeared peaceful with her eyes closed as she showed off the small tattoos on her inner left arm, black underwear, and toned midriff.
Another image showed the interpreter wearing white flowers on her breasts, wet hair and minimal makeup.
Bombshell: Kaia Gerber oozed classic Hollywood glamor in a midriff-baring black minidress with cutouts over both hips beneath an oversized leather jacket with silver zip-ups as she graced iD’s Spring 2023 issue
Last month, the bombshell from the daughter of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber opened up about how she felt “alone” without her family around as a teenager, early in her career, when modeling jobs took her all over the world.
“I’m only 21 years old and I feel like I’ve already lived a lifetime,” the American Horror Story star told the glossy 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, it reminded me 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 a lot from such a young age,” Austin Butler’s girlfriend said. ‘I got this really amazing education.’
She added: ‘I have this catalog of images that has recorded my growth. You are growing and you are changing: your body, what you like, your taste. Being surrounded by so many creatives shaped my taste. I am a great observer and retain a lot.
As for the wisdom her supermodel mother gave her, Kaia recalls being told to “be on time” and “take the time to learn people’s names.”
‘Be kind to everyone. If you’re not grateful and happy to be there, there’s someone who would be,” the five-foot-10 beauty said of the lessons her mother taught her.
But she found friends in the modeling industry to lean on, and she didn’t see the malice or competitiveness she’d been warned about.
“I fell into the trap of believing that,” Kaia said of catfights on the runway that she feels don’t really exist.
“Especially at the time, I was very shy,” said the star who landed big jobs at 18.
I kept to myself and was nervous. You come from high school girls who are so scary, so I just assumed that would be the culture. I was lucky enough to meet amazing people from all over the world who took me under their wing. I felt a lot of comfort having this family away from my own family,” said the cover girl.
Some of her model friends are Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber.
But he was able to reconnect with his family during the Covid lockdown.
“Honestly, it came at a time when I really needed it, and it was a really difficult time in the world, but it had really gotten to a point where I felt like I was falling out of love.” [modeling]and I didn’t know you could ask for a break,’ said the star.
‘I was forced to stop, and realized how badly I needed one.
‘When they tell you what to do every day, you don’t have time to sit and reflect. But I had gone through so many changes and so many important things happened to me over the years that I was modeling.
“I had to do four or five years of processing,” the California native noted.
“I felt very lucky to be able to be with my family because I had spent a lot of time away from them, and I realized that I had a lot of guilt for missing birthdays and stuff. I had been traveling since I was a teenager, so I developed an adult relationship with my family.’
It was a healing time for her.
I developed much deeper relationships in my life and also a connection to myself. When you’re forced to sit with yourself, you suddenly realize all the things you haven’t dealt with.
“There was no communication between me and me, and sometimes I felt out of body. Once I developed that, I said, “This is not something I want to give up.”
“My personal life and my mental health are not something I am willing to sacrifice for my work anymore. Right now, I’m working at home, which is a beautiful thing, and I’m not traveling all the time. I come home, and I’m with my dog. I have friends and I am cooking dinner. I see my therapist and I see my family.
Kaia is also pursuing a film career. She was in American Horror Stories and most recently had a small role with Brad Pitt in Babylon. Next up is Bottoms with Ruby Cruz for director Emma Seligman.
