At 16 years of age she is one of the most-in demand models in the high-fashion industry.
And Kaia Gerber continued her domination of international fashion weeks as she took to the runway at the star-studded Valentino Paris Fashion Week show on Sunday.
The teen catwalk queen and daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford, looked in her element as she confidently strode onto the catwalk clad in a floral maxi-dress with gold, white, chestnut and black panels, interspersed with mint green and candy pink sequins.

Kaia commanded attention in the intricately decorated gown which highlighted her statuesque frame, with the gown also featuring statement flared sleeves.
Her brunette tresses were slicked back into a low ponytail, parted in the middle, while her make-up featured feline flicks of liner, mascara and smoky kohl liner, shimmery cheeks and a slick of candied pink lipgloss.
Kaia, who is the daughter of iconic supermodel Cindy Crawford, is fast becoming a supermodel in her own right – having already stormed the Milan and New York Fashion Weeks this year, and working with Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld and Saint Laurent.

Her supermodel mother didn’t even become a model until she was 19, and she beat Cindy to a first solo cover for Vogue Paris by four years.
Kaia’s modelling career started when she was just ten-years-old. She was picked by Versace to model the fashion house’s Young Versace range.
At the time, her mother was not keen on her daughter entering the modelling world at such a young age, explaining: ‘At this point, she’s too young to pursue a career. There aren’t even a handful of jobs for a 10-year-old girl.’

However, just a few years later in 2016, Kaia posed together with her mother on the April cover of Vogue Paris, before the then 14-year-old Kaia was photographed by Kendall Jenner for the cover of LOVE magazine later that year.
Skip to the beginning of 2018 and the 5ft 9 model scored her first solo Vogue Paris cover, beating her mother, who was 20 at the time of her first Vogue cover.
Kaia has had a powerful fashion week takeover in Paris as she was seen storming the runway for show’s like Isabel Marant, Saint Laurent, and Off-White.
In February, Kaia was also seen channelling her inner Jackie O for the Moschino catwalk at Milan Fashion Week.

Kaia became the spitting image of the late first former lady Jackie Onassis Kennedy as she sauntered down the runway in an electric orange zipped roll-neck jacket, teamed with a sophisticated A-line skirt.
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Kaia said that in a typical day, she’ll usually complete her homework at around 3:30p.m.
‘I usually use the afternoon to catch up on homework. I’m completing my diploma at Malibu High School through an online program, and it’s difficult to get much done during the week, as the Wi-Fi on planes is really annoying,’ she admitted.

‘My favorite class this year is AP Calculus because I just like math. It’s definitely super hard to teach yourself derivatives, though!’
According to a recent report by WWD, Kaia has solidified her fashion future by joining forces with titan Karl Lagerfield, 84, on her first design collaboration, set to launch in the autumn.
Named Karl Lagerfeld X Kaia, the capsule collection will be available in Karl Lagerfeld stores and online globally from September.
