Kaia Gerber put on an eye-popping display as she walked the runway at the Valentino Haute Couture show in Chantilly, France on Wednesday. The halter neck frock featured a pointed white collar making the neckline of the dress resemble a men’s tie. The model, 21, was the spitting image of her supermodel mom Cindy Crawford in a white shirt which was unbuttoned to the waist to reveal her braless bust. The show took place at the Chateau de Chantilly 30 miles north of Paris on the day after the model was spotted with her actor boyfriend Austin Butler, 31, out for a late night dinner in the City of Light. Kaia paired the racy look with a pair of relaxed-fit jeans, enormous, dangling earrings and pointy-toed silver shoes featuring a large bow over her toes. Her long brown hair was styled straight and her makeup was dramatic as she walked the runway with her hands in the front pockets of the jeans. When the daughter of Crawford and Rande Gerber, 61, left the runway show she was wearing a short, chic, little black dress.
The dress just covered what it needed to and exposed miles of the model’s long, lean legs. Kaia and the Elvis star have been linked since December 2021 when he was spotted taking a yoga class with her. On Tuesday, she shared a video of herself at a Ben Harper concert to her Instagram Stories. They keep their relationship relatively private despite being spotted together frequently by the paparazzi. She slipped her feet into a pair of chunky, shiny black ankle-length boots and carred a green handbag. And Kaia is making the most of her time in Paris. The two were spotted leaving the chic Hotel Costes in the wee hours of Wednesday morning after a late night Tuesday dinner. Time off: And Kaia is making the most of her time in Paris. Her dark hair was parted in the middle and flowing down her back as she exited the Chateau de Chantilly. The couple made their red carpet debut at the 2022 Met Gala. The Golden Globe winner previously dated actress Vanessa Hudgens, 34, for nine years. And despite their 10-year age difference, Kaia’s parents approve of their relationship. Date night: Kaia and Austin have been spending time in Paris as Haute Couture Fashion Week takes place. Kaia and Austin have been spending time in Paris as Haute Couture Fashion Week takes place.
