The statuesque beauty showcased her supermodel instincts as she stomped the runway in a black velvet mini dress.

With silver mesh embellishments on the cuffs and collar, the number was both elegant and modern. 

She rocked shiny black leggings and zebra striped shoes to accentuate the thick leather wrap worn around her head.

Her trademark brunette tresses were swept up in a messy bun allowing her youthful face to shine.

And the piece de resistance was a pair of gigantic sparkling earrings that cascaded over her petite shoulders.

Her delicate decolletage and ample cleavage were thrust on center stage as the daring number plunged low. 

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.

The fashion website reports that the range of ready-to-wear clothing and accessories will comprise sunglasses, jewellery and shoes.

It is expected to blend Chanel boss Lagerfeld’s ‘Parisian chic aesthetic and Gerber’s signature West Coast casual style’.

The mini-me daughter of Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber has quickly risen to prominence in the fashion world since stepping into the spotlight last year.

She made her modelling debut at last season’s Fashion Week shows, walking for now fewer than 18 designers in a matter of weeks, including Calvin Klein, Prada, Saint Laurent and Versace.
