Kaia Gerber Didn't Think She Looked Like Her Mom Cindy Crawford At All

Kaia Gerber keeps it cute in a polka-dotted skirt after stopping by Sephora in Malibu, Calif., on Monday afternoon (October 14).

The 18-year-old model was seen out and about in New York City just over the weekend with her supermodel mom, Cindy Crawford.

In a recent essay for Vogue, Kaia admitted that up until recently, she didn’t she looked anything like Cindy.

“From day one, people in the industry were often taken aback by my resemblance to my mom,” Kaia wrote. “As I get older, it happens even more, and it’s not just a visual thing: It’s everything from our mannerisms to our voices. It used to be that I didn’t see it at all, but now I will look at a picture and have to take a moment before realizing which one of us it is.”

Kaia now says being compared to her mom is “the biggest compliment”.

“Beyond her beauty and obvious appeal, she has always been my hero and my role model because of the way she treats people and the lens that she sees the world through, and that’s something for which I’m beyond grateful,” she added.
