Cindy Crawford looks identical to Kaia in Santa Monica

She’s an icon of the fashion world and one of the original supermodels.

And Cindy Crawford looked incredible as she hit the beaches of Santa Monica for a photoshoot with LOVE magazine on Thursday. 

At first glance, the cover girl, 51, looked almost identical to her model daughter Kaia Gerber, 16, as she posed in an embellished jacket and blue joggers before switching into a sleeveless black jumper on the sand.

The catwalk queen could have easily passed for someone half her age as she hopped onto the rails of the Santa Monica lifeguard tower to flaunt her endless legs.

The mother-of-two displayed her long legs in the thigh-skimming frock, which she paired with sturdy boots instead of her usual stilettos.

The statuesque stunner kicked her shoes off to walk along the shore barefoot, while tucking her tresses into a ponytail as she proudly flaunted her iconic beauty mark.

Cindy flaunted a fierce face in couture designs as she continued her high-fashion shoot for the British style bible.

The veteran model wore a chic jacket along with sporty blue shorts while shooting for LOVE.

Cindy looked almost indistinguishable from teen offspring Kaia as she pulled her hair back into an ultra-slick ponytail while rounding out her look with hip high-top trainers. 

The Illinois-born beauty shared a fun Instagram from their beach-side shoot, which included tags for LOVE editor-in-chief Katie Grand, make-up artist Miranda Joyce and hairstylist Bob Recine.

Cindy captioned her candid with a simple ‘Squad.’

The star’s daughter Kaia is rapidly taking after mom as one of the most sought-after models in the world.

Kaia made her New York Fashion Week debut in September, and went on to walk in some of the most high-profile shows in London, Paris and Milan. 

Last week, the rising talent expressed her admiration for mom’s style, while also lamenting about how the mother-daughter duo can’t share footwear.

‘My mom and I aren’t [exactly] the same size. She’s a bit taller,’ she explained to E! before adding. ‘We’re not the same shoe size either, which is heartbreaking.’

Cindy has been married to former model and entrepreneur Rande Gerber for 19 years and they have definitely passed on their beauty genes to both Kaia and her older brother, Presley, 18. 

The runway queen recently responded to criticism that a responsible mother with experience of the fashion industry would not allow her daughter to follow her footsteps at such a young age.

She hit back: ‘My daughter just got her driver’s license. I’m a lot more concerned about her driving by herself than her entering the world of modelling.

‘The great thing for my kids is that I know a lot about that world. I feel like: Who better to help guide them than me?’
