When you're an internationally sought-after model from a runway dynasty, you don't celebrate legal adulthood with a small get-together. At least, that was the case forKaia Gerber, who rang in her 18th birthday and the start of New York Fashion Week with a burlesque-themed party at the Paradise Club in Times Square last night.
Kaia Gerber turned 18 on September 3 but saved her birthday blowout for Friday, September 6—right in time for New York Fashion Week's kickoff. She took the stylish occasion to heart by showing up to her burlesque birthday in a leather corset dress by Versace.
Her outfit wasn't just a wink at her history on the Versace runway though. Gerber's dress riffed on a look her mom, Cindy Crawford, wore to the 1992 VMAs. Instead of a leather skirt, however, Crawford's outfit included black pants. See them both, below:
