Kaia Gerber Stole Her Mom's Airport Outfit From 1991

A recent shot of Kaia Gerber at the Milan airport has me doing a double take, and you’re about to understand why. After remarking how perfectly '90s-inspired her overall look felt, I found myself wondering if her mom, '90s supermodel and present icon Cindy Crawford, had ever donned anything similar back in the day.

Lo and behold, she had. A quick Getty Image search of Cindy at the airport revealed that almost exactly 28 years ago, one day apart (with Cindy on February 22, 1991, and Kaia on the 23rd), the mother-daughter duo wore almost identical travel outfits, down to the cut of their straight-leg jeans and material of their leather blazers. Could Kaia have gone into the archives herself to inspire this look? We may never know, but my intuition tells me it's very possible. To see the shockingly similar outfits for yourself, plus, of course, shop everything you need to re-create Kaia's on-point airport style, simply keep scrolling.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
