Kaia Gerber is a very tall supermodel.
The daughter of Cindy Crawford towered over Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner at the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Gerber wore all black as she put her around around Kylie who was in beige and black.
Next to Kylie was Kim in a white leotard. And off to the side was Kaia’s model pal Kendall Jenner whose sisters are Kim and Kylie.
Turns out, Kaia is above average height.
Kaia is an impressive 5ft10in. Kendall is even taller, however, at 5ft11in. Kim is on the more petite side at 5ft2in while Kylie is 5ft6in.

The ladies looked like longtime pals as they smiled for the camera while inside the dining room at the annual gala which has been called the ‘Met Gala of the West.’
This comes after Gerber has embraced her love of reading in her new DKNY campaign.
The 22-year-old catwalk star has returned as the face of the brand for a second season to front the fall 2024 adverts and design bosses indulged Kaia’s favorite hobby by picturing her sitting on the floor of a library with her nose buried in a book.
Jeff Goldfarb, executive vice president at G-III Apparel Group, owner of the DKNY brand, said: ‘We are thrilled to have Kaia as the global face of DKNY for the second season.
‘Her vibrant energy comes to life as our campaign ties back to the core values of the brand and resonates with our consumers while building more global visibility for the brand.’

Trey Laird, who was in charge of creative direction on the shoot, added: ‘Kaia personally is an avid reader and book lover, with a vibrant growing online community through her book club.
‘The concept of the campaign was an inspiring opportunity to connect DKNY’s love of all things New York with Kaia’s love of literature in a pure authentic way.’
The campaign features stories of New York City and features quotes from books including ‘The Great Gatsby’ by F. Scott Fitzgerald and ‘Bright Lights, Big City’ by Jay McInerney.
The clothes featured in the new collection are said to embrace a ‘Gen-Z ethos’ and include coats worn with streetwear, puffer jackets, winter wool and pleated skirts.
There are also longer-length skirts, structured capes and relaxed dresses in velvet and satin as well as sequinned skirts.

Elsa Hosk has admitted modelling was a ‘detour’ from her design career.
The former Victoria’s Secret Angel – who has modelled for the likes of Dior, Dolce and Gabbana – launched her own brand Helsa in 2022 and has admitted she always wanted to have a career in fashion but never had the ‘confidence’ because of her lack of qualifications.
Speaking at Glossy’s recent Beauty Pop event, she said: ‘I was thrown into my modelling career, and that was a detour from what I was meant to do.
‘My mom was a good hobby seamstress, and my grandma was a knitter. So I was really into fashion. From a young age, I was constructing all these crazy things, and I would show up to school in homemade blazers. … Fashion was always my passion, but I never had the confidence to launch anything.’

However, the 35-year-old Swedish beauty was able to use her connections in the modelling world and studied everyone she worked with from stylists to photographers and even CEOs.
She added: ‘I didn’t go to business school and I didn’t go to design school, but, for almost 25 years, I was in the fashion industry soaking everything up and knowing that, one day, I was gonna use that knowledge to launch a brand.
‘Every set I was on, I was looking at: What are the stylists doing? What’s the photographer doing? How does this dress move? What fabrics feel good? I was talking to the CEO. And I think that was crucial to [starting a brand].’
