Stepping Out in New York City
Kaia Gerber brought classic Hollywood glamour to New York City for the premiere of The Shards. The model-turned-actor walked the blue carpet to celebrate the debut of the new Ryan Murphy-directed thriller series.
Sporting a timeless blowout and a sparkling gown, Gerber bore a striking resemblance to her mother, supermodel Cindy Crawford.

A Custom Valentino Statement
Gerber wore a custom sheer dress designed by Valentino. The floor-length piece featured a relaxed column silhouette, a low square neckline, and delicate spaghetti straps.
Sheer sequined mesh and crystal embellishments formed a distinct diamond-pattern overlay across the fabric.
She was joined at the premiere by her co-stars Graham Campbell, Homer Gere, Hayes Warner, and Igby Rigney.

Curating the 1980s Aesthetic
Stylist Emma Jade Morrison curated the ensemble, accessorizing the sheer gown with chunky diamond studs, metallic sandal heels, and a small feathered bag.
The beauty team leaned heavily into the show’s early 1980s setting. Hairstylist Hos Hounkpatin created a bouncy, classic Hollywood blowout anchored by a dramatic side part.

Adapting ‘The Shards’
The Shards is a hybrid coming-of-age story and erotic thriller set in 1981 Los Angeles. The plot centers on a group of high school students navigating life during the reign of a serial killer.
Ryan Murphy adapted the television series directly from Bret Easton Ellis’s 2023 novel of the same name.
