Kaia Gerber moves with the times - as does her wardrobe. As the climate cools and we edge closer to (deep breath) Christmas, the model leans further into festival dress codes, shelving her Malibu girl beach-ready looks in favour of something a touch more glam.
On Thursday, the 24-year-old took to the stage at the 2025 WIF Honors presented by MaxMara at The Beverly Hilton. The event, which also welcomed sponsors e.l.f. Cosmetics, Amazon MGM Studios, Apple TV, Delta Air Lines, Netflix, and STARZ #TakeTheLead, saw the Chanel muse step out in a scarlet mini dress constructed from resplendent silk, complete with a raised square neckline, fine spaghetti straps and darting across the bodice to create a structured, Sixties-inspired effect.

Her brunette hair was styled down loose in a silky, straightened style with a retro side parting - the impeccable work of hairstylist Gregory Russell. A glowing, sun-kissed complexion, a generous lashing of mascara, sharp contour, a thick brow and a coffee-hued smoky eye by Emily Cheng made for an old Hollywood palette that accentuated the actress’ stunning facial features.

The California native has been revelling in the red fashion moments as of late. Last week, she joined Hollywood’s inner circle as they gathered at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art to celebrate the LACMA 2025 Art + Film Gala.
For the bash, Kaia slipped into a crimson-hued sequinned gown by Gucci that hugged every curve, radiating Jessica Rabbit sensual glamour with a 2025 twist.
Featuring a floor-kissing length, a deeply scooped neckline and a liquid-like finish with all over sequin detailing, the designer gown made for an unmissable red carpet moment.
