Kaia Gerber delivered one of the most memorable looks at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, stepping out in a striking custom gown by Givenchy under the creative direction of Sarah Burton. As highlighted by InStyle, Gerber’s appearance evoked the timeless aesthetic of supermodel era glamour, drawing clear connections to a young Cindy Crawford. The resemblance wasn’t just in her beauty, but in the confident, understated way she carried the look like her mother.

According to Givenchy, the look was a custom red velvet gown featuring a draped and slashed corset bustier design. The strapless neckline kept the look clean and structured, while the corset bodice hugged her frame and added a sharp, tailored finish to the upper half.
The skirt softened the overall look. The velvet fabric fell smoothly into a floor-length silhouette, while a super high slit brought in a bold, modern touch. The draping across the hips added shape and movement, making the gown feel fluid rather than stiff. A slight train at the back completed the look, giving it that classic red carpet feel without excess.
She kept the styling simple and intentional. Gerber paired the gown with delicate red strappy heels, following one colour palette. She also avoided heavy jewelry, letting the dress remain the main focus. This minimal approach made the look feel more modern and effortless. She wore her hair in soft, side-parted waves, adding a relaxed touch to the structured outfit.
Her makeup stayed natural and glowy, with subtle eye definition and a nude lip that balanced the bold red tone of the dress. Overall, the look was clean, confident, and easy to understand. It showed how Gerber could make a strong colour, good fit, and simple styling create a standout red carpet moment.
