Kaia Gerber is channeling a fashion icon with her latest look.
Spotted in a classic LBD on Tuesday, the model immediately drew comparisons to the late Carolyn Bessette Kennedy.
Gerber exited the Crosby Street Hotel, hand-in-hand with singer Hayes Warner, wearing a black silk slip dress and white silk scarf draped across her collarbone and cascading down her back.
The model upgraded the look with Gianvito Rossi mule heels ($715) and Tom Ford sunglasses ($530).
The combination had fans recalling a specific scene from FX’s “Love Story” featuring a dramatized scene between the Calvin Klein muse and JFK Jr.’s aunt. While there’s no photographic documentation that the real Carolyn wore the outfit (or got in a spat about it), the look features prominently in the Ryan Murphy series.
“Kaia Gerber channeling [CBK] in that ‘brutal’ Kennedy family dinner scene,” wrote one X user, adding, “Ethel Kennedy famously called out CBK for wearing the shawl/scarf, making her take it off!”
It’s unclear if Gerber — who stars in a different Murphy show, the forthcoming “Shards” — was referencing the Sarah Pidgeon character or not. However, she does often opt for very Bessete Kennedy styles like classic ‘90s silhouettes, be it jeans and a cropped tee by day or slip dresses by night.
Gerber hit the “Shards” premiere red carpet on Monday wearing an embellished strapless gown, looking like another nineties icon: her model mom, Cindy Crawford.
And bringing the nostalgia even further to the forefront, Richard Gere’s son Homer stars alongside Gerber in the FX show. Crawford was briefly married to the “Pretty Woman” actor in the nineties, of course.
“Shards” hits FX and Hulu on August 5.
