She continued: ‘I love the DNA of a brand that is so subversive, while being so luxurious and cool.’

Just last week, the model showed her love for YSL by closing out the first part of its fashion show underneath the Eiffel Tower in Paris. 

In an Instagram caption about the event, Kaia wrote: ‘Closing part one of Saint Laurent last night…you guys never fail to bring tears to my eyes. 

‘I will always remember walking on water under the Eiffel Tower. my forever family @ysl thank you for creating magic!’ 

To celebrate the announcement of being the new face for the brand, Kaia posted an Instagram of her campaign picture where she looks alluring with a dark smokey eye and nude lip while wearing a dark navy blazer. 

‘So happy to join the @yslbeauty family,’ she wrote, marking the beginning of her relationship with the beauty side of the designer company.

This year has been a year for the books for Cindy Crawford’s daughter as she has also graced the covers of Vogue Italia and Vogue Paris twice. 

She snagged these magazine covers after making her debut on the runway during New York Fashion Week in fall 2017.

‘Kaia is a blossoming talent with a unique sense of style and a stunning beauty,’ Stephan Bezy, international general manager of Yves Beauté at L’Oréal, told WWD. 

‘The perfect embodiment of her generation’s desire for authenticity and edginess, as a muse and ambassador she will convey those values, which entirely resonate with what YSL Beauté stands for.’
