Like mother, like daughter takes on a very literal meaning when you’re Cindy Crawford and Kaia Gerber.
The two are near doppelgängers on a typical day. Give them the same hairstyle, and their look-alike nature reaches an entirely new level. That’s precisely what happened for the Sept. 12 premiere of Shell at the Toronto International Film Festival. For the red carpet event, Gerber pulled inspiration from Crawford’s 1993 Oscars appearance—right down to the white bandage dress and high-volume blowout, hairstylist Clayton Hawkins exclusively tells Marie Claire.
“We definitely wanted to pay homage to Cindy’s classic blowout,” Hawkins tells me. “The look is iconic for a reason.” The particular hairstyle doesn’t just copy Crawford’s bouncy curls and heavy volume at the crown—it also mimics her identifiable deep side part. “I’m a millennial so I’ll always love a side part, but I think people in general are being less rigid when it comes to parting their hair in one certain way,” Hawkins adds.
To achieve such dramatic height (I’d guess Gerber’s hair has a two-inch lift), Hawkins had to come prepared with some out-of-the-norm items in his kit. “I needed a jumbo two-inch curling iron (it’s crucial), as well as hot rollers,” Hawkins shares. Once the hair was set, cooled, and brushed out, Hawkins worked a generous spritz of Sexy Hair’s Volume and Texture Spray through Gerber’s hair.
The resemblance between the mother-daughter duo is uncanny.
The Library Science founder didn’t stop the tit-for-tat with hair. She copied her mom’s 1993 Academy Awards makeup, too. Makeup artist Dana Delaney, who also works with Laura Harrier and Ayo Edebiri, gave Gerber a mauve lip and a slightly smoky brown eyeshadow. While the inspiration is from 30 years ago, both of these colors are proving to be huge 2024 fall makeup trends.
