Kaia Gerber Gets Her Groove Back in a Cozy Knit Shawl, Plunge Bra, and Dadcore Sneakers

Kaia Gerber is moving on from her recent breakup with Austin Butler in record time. On Feb. 3, the model was captured smiling on a stroll in Los Angeles with a friend and a green juice in hand. Perhaps her sunny mood can be credited to her rumored new beau Lewis Pullman. Or maybe she was simply feeling really cozy and comfortable in her outfit that day.

For the outing, the 23-year-old slipped into her best athleisure. Her stretchy black leggings were most likely purchased from celebrity-favorite activewear brand Alo Yoga. In fact, she already owns several pairs in this high-waisted style. Her plunging black bralette, meanwhile, recalls similar to options from Skims.

Around her shoulders, the Bottoms star wore an off-white knit shawl from Alo Yoga. The balletcore bolero coordinated nicely with her crisp Nike socks and dad-coded white Asics sneakers. Last month, the book club founder styled the same shoe with a gray sweatshirt and an emerald green scarf for a much-needed post-breakup spa day.

Of course, no outfit would be complete for Gerber without her black Thistles sunglasses and her signature Paloma Wool Philana tote. Here, she's wearing the grommet-studded shopping bag in distressed brown leather, but she also owns the roomy design in a crackled black leather colorway. She's been wearing the East-West carryall since October 2024 and bounces between the two shades depending on her outfit. Frankly, I haven't seen a woman so obsessed with a purse since Katie Holmes discovered Khaite's $2,400 Amelia tote bag.

There's no easy way to navigate a breakup, particularly when you live in the public eye. But Kaia Gerber really does seem to have the healing process down pat.

Hanna’s editorial journey began with formative internships at Elle and InStyle, where she was lucky enough to work for some of the smartest women in media while she was still in college at the University of Tennessee. Hanna then accepted a digital culture reporting fellowship at Insider, where she helped carve out a new beat dedicated to covering influencers. Those experiences later served her well as a staff writer at Glamour, where she developed a knack for spinning quick turnaround celebrity news and trend reporting into juicy feature stories. Some of her greatest hits include an earnest ode to the no-pants trend, this meticulously reported feature exploring the rise of endoscopic facelifts, this snappy take on the Chanel-designed fantasy of Sofia Richie’s wedding, this tribute to WAGs past and present, and this timeline of Katie Holmes’s life and career as told through her denim collection.

Diane Keaton once hung up on Hanna during an interview, but thankfully that mishap did not derail what has otherwise been a deeply fulfilling career writing for and about women. As one of Marie Claire's resident experts on style and culture, her current coverage ranges from exploring TikTok's contrast makeup theory and the return of the boat shoe trend to interviews with costume designers for hit shows like Nobody Wants This and The Penguin. When she’s not at work, Hanna can probably be found listening to pop music, talking to her dog, and gossiping with her best friends.
