Fans Shower Love on Cindy and Kaia

It’s no surprise that Cindy and Kaia’s special bond didn’t go unnoticed. Fans were quick to flood the comment section with heartfelt messages for the mother-daughter duo. One fan wrote, “Beautiful like her Mom. Happy birthday.” Another chimed in, “What a gorgeous little girl and even more gorgeous young woman she became! Congrats to both of you.” A third fan added, “What a cutie turned into a beauty, happy birthday!” Clearly, Kaia has the world at her feet, and it’s not hard to see why.

Kaia Following in Her Mom's Footsteps

There’s no doubt that Kaia is carving out her own path in the modeling industry, much like her legendary mom. Cindy, who is also the proud mother of son Presley Gerber, 20, with her husband Rande Gerber, has been more than supportive of Kaia’s career. In fact, Cindy once revealed some of the advice she gives Kaia when it comes to owning the runway. “I think my only specific advice to her with the runway shows was just, like, personally, I don’t like seeing a girl with dead eyes and no expression walking down a runway,” Cindy said. “I don’t think it’s interesting. Yes, I know that’s what’s in style now. But I feel as if people want to see a personality.”

Cindy shared that Kaia has found her own unique way to express herself on the runway, even adding her own personal touch to some shows. For example, during the Anna Sui show, Kaia decided to throw in a turn, even though no one else was doing it. It’s these little moments that make Kaia stand out, and it’s clear that she’s making her own mark in the world of fashion.

We can’t wait to see what Kaia accomplishes next as she continues to shine on the catwalk and beyond, just like her gorgeous and inspiring mom, Cindy Crawford.
