Kaia Gerber Channels Audrey Hepburn in Regal Vintage Gown

Kaia Gerber had her “My Fair Lady” moment in a vintage gown at the Academy Museum Gala as she channeled Audrey Hepburn’s character, Eliza Doolittle, from the 1964 film. Gerber is no stranger to the fashion industry partly due to her supermodel mom, Cindy Crawford, and partly to her own triumphs as an award-winning model and renowned actor. On Saturday, the 23-year-old made another victorious move at the red carpet event by wearing one of the most talked about outfits of the night.

Kaia Gerber graced the Academy Museum Gala red carpet wearing Alexander McQueen’s ornate vintage gown for Givenchy. McQueen created the elegant dress for the luxury fashion house’s fall 1997 haute couture collection for Givenchy, inspired by one of Audrey Hepburn’s outfits from her “My Fair Lady” wardrobe.

Gerber’s ensemble was a black recreation of Hepburn’s white embassy ball dress from the Oscar-winning blockbuster “My Fair Lady.” However, the British fashion designer’s iteration that the 23-year-old wore on Saturday night was one of two gowns from the collection. The second one was white and uncannily similar to the on-screen version.

Kaia Gerber’s intricately detailed gown was beaded from top to bottom with fringe-like cap sleeves. The ornate detailings around an almost round neckline displayed her sharp collarbones. These decorations then formed rows and floral patterns all over the sheer fabric, creating an extraordinary finish at the bottom of the floor-length dress.

Gerber paired the look with minimal make-up and jewelry. Her accessories comprised a diamond choker, a diamond ring, and matching drop-down earrings. Moreover, the model’s makeup was all about neutral colors with a subtle smokey eye, rosy lip shade, and thick brows.

On the Academy Museum Gala’s red carpet, Kaia Gerber told Vogue that Audrey Hepburn has always been a fashion inspiration to her. She also called the outfit “Lee McQueen’s darker, gothic version of the very classic My Fair Lady dress.”
