Kaia Gerber, 24, is drawing attention for her striking resemblance to her mother, supermodel Cindy Crawford, particularly in her latest role on the Disney+ drama series *The Shards*. Styled in 1980s fashion for the show, Gerber has been noted for closely resembling Crawford during her heyday, aside from the absence of her mother’s trademark mole above the upper lip.

Gerber, who began her career in modelling at a young age—including a debut with Versace Kids at 10 years old—has walked runways for major fashion houses such as Vogue, Burberry, and Prada. However, she credits more than genetics for her success, highlighting the influence of her mother’s work ethic and career achievements. “I saw how hard my mom worked, and the life she made for herself through this career, and that really inspired me,” Gerber said.

In addition to modelling, Gerber has been building an acting career, with appearances in series like *American Horror Story* and *Palm Royale*. Her latest role in *The Shards* premiered last week. The show, adapted from Bret Easton Ellis’s novel, is set in an elite prep school in 1980s Los Angeles, exploring the story of a serial killer targeting teenagers across the city.

Gerber’s connections to high society extend beyond her mother, with her father, businessman Rande Gerber, being a co-owner of the tequila brand Casamigos alongside actor George Clooney. Her social circle reportedly includes celebrities such as Kendall Jenner, Taylor Swift, and Bella Hadid.

Reflecting on her daughter’s early interest in fashion and performance, Cindy Crawford noted that Gerber exhibited a passion for dressing up and photoshoots from a young age. “When she was little, she and her friends would always want to play dress-up and do photoshoots. They would raid my closet, and I would do their hair and make-up. Kaia always loved it,” Crawford said.

Despite public comparisons emphasizing their physical similarity, Gerber is modest about the resemblance. “I think she’s just the most beautiful woman inside and out. So if there’s any way that I remind anyone of her, it’s just, like, the largest compliment,” she stated.

At the peak of her career, Cindy Crawford earned approximately $6.5 million annually and was renowned as one of the world’s top supermodels. Gerber appears poised to make her mark not only in fashion but increasingly in the entertainment industry as well.
