Kaia Gerber is proving that a little black dress can be worn for any occasion.
On Tuesday, Aug. 25, Gerber kicked off the 2026 U.S. Open at Anna Wintour's celebration for Roger Federer's special Fan Week exhibition match in a sleek LBD.
"The Shards" star looked like the spitting image of her mother, Cindy Crawford, in the form-fitting '90s-inspired midi dress by Yana Matkivski, which featured a plunge neckline and a slim pencil skirt silhouette with an open back.
Gerber, who made it impossible not to do a double take as she wore her brunette locks parted to the side like her mother, topped off the look with black stiletto mules, a dainty 18K gold Panthère de Cartier watch, and one of the most beloved '90s-style handbags: a zebra print Fendi baguette.
When it comes to Gerber's personal style, the model and actress is no stranger to minimalist fashions, in a nod to '90s icons like Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, Kate Moss and, of course, Crawford.
For recent red carpet events, Gerber has taken after her mother in simple yet timeless ensembles with clean lines and, often, black-and-white color schemes. Early in the month, Gerber attended "The Shards" Berlin photo call in a custom Prada white two-piece set featuring a column skirt with a matching open-back, midriff top. A few days later, the actress celebrated the FX series in California wearing a black sleeveless bra top paired with another matching column skirt.
Gerber, who graces the cover of Vogue's September issue with "Shards" co-star Homer Gere, the son of her mother's former flame Richard Gere, recently reflected on the comparisons to her mother and her own struggle with body image.
"As someone who's been thin most of my life, I've always been compared against my mom – like, What's wrong with Kaia?" she told Vogue. "I'm so jealous of my mom's body. I would have loved to be born with boobs and a butt."
Having begun modeling at a younger age than her mother, booking a Young Versace campaign at 10, the actress said incessant comments about her over the years have hurt more than helped.
"People have always commented on my body, which is hard because I'm not always ready to comment on my own body, you know?" she added. "I've had disordered eating in my life. People are like, 'You look terrible,' and it doesn't exactly make you go, 'Oh, good. Let me get over this mental illness then!' Negativity has never saved someone's life."
