SHE’S the spitting image of her supermodel mum, with a mane of chestnut hair, flawless cheekbones and impeccable style.
But it looks like Kaia Gerber, daughter of Nineties icon Cindy Crawford, could be a BIGGER success.
Fashion bible Vogue has named the 22-year-old its Early Autumn Muse, a huge accolade in the fashion world.
It’s the latest in a long line of industry achievements for Kaia, who has joined the likes of Lily-Rose Depp and Lila Moss on a growing list of second-generation supermodels fast eclipsing their famous mothers.
Celebrity brand and culture expert Nick Ede says: “Thanks to their skills in modelling, acting and social media, these girls have it all.
“They stand to make millions.
“These supermodel daughters are incredibly savvy, using social media, TV opportunities and dating hot celebs to cement their status as the new kids on the block – and they’re here to stay.”
With many more avenues to making money nowadays, the girls are better placed to earn the big bucks then their mums were.
Nick explains: “When their mums were in their prime, they’d mainly be doing magazine shoots, many of which were not actually paid.
“Flash forward to now and these supermodel offspring have the world at their feet.
“Media outlets such as Snapchat, Instagram, Tiktok, and streaming services like Netflix, will pay millions for them to be a part of their digital brand.”
Nick admits the new generation “may not be as iconic” as their mothers.
But he adds: “Fame and fortune come quicker nowadays and, if these ladies play the game correctly, they will be in it for the long haul.”
Here, Nick reveals the six second-generation supermodels who are set to become even bigger – and richer – than their famous mums.
CINDY, 58, is one of the world’s most recognisable fashion faces, and her daughter with husband Rande Gerber has near-identical features.
Nick reckons a modern-day “Cindy” will make big money.
Actress Kaia, 22, who dates Hollywood heart-throb Austin Butler, did her first job for Young Versace aged ten.
She’s also appeared in Apple TV’s Palm Royale and done multiple fashion brand collaborations, working with the likes of Jimmy Choo and Zara.
Nick says:” She may have a long way to go to reach her mother’s net worth, but Kaia is already worth around £19million.”
He added of the youngster, who has appeared in American Horror Story, movie Babylon and the upcoming Outcome with Keanu Reeves: “She’s stunning, talented and has one of the hottest Hollywood leading men as her boyfriend.
“She’ll be surpassing Cindy in a matter of years.”
KATE and her mini-me daughter do everything together, so it’s little wonder Lila is already a seasoned pro when it comes to modelling and fashion.
The 21-year-old has a seriously impressive CV, starting out when she was just 14, and has since worked for Marc Jacobs and Miu Miu.
This year, Vogue named her as one of their 40 “icons” – she’s graced the cover of the mag multiple times already.
Nick says: “Lila’s current net worth is about £4million but, believe me, when her earnings per year are close to half a million – and only going up – I can see her overtaking her mother in the fame and fortune stakes within a decade.
“And that’s no easy feat when mum is Kate Moss.
“I think by teaming up more, the pair could make even more money.
“Her friends are the coolest set of people and Lila’s earning potential is simply massive.”
GORGEOUS Heidi, 51, had Leni with billionaire businessman Flavio Briatore in 2004, and she was later adopted by Heidi’s now ex-husband, musician Seal.
In recent years, the 20-year-old has shown she’s a real chip off the old modelling block, taking to the catwalk on multiple jobs and posing with her mum in sexy lingerie ads for Italian underwear giants Intimissimi, which certainly got tongues wagging.
Nick says: “Leni is one to watch and could go incredibly far.
“She’s a real trendsetter and is often cited by big fashion magazines as someone who wears all the right stuff at the right time.
“She’s clearly followed in her mother’s footsteps and is a fashion icon already.
“With some good financial backing behind her from her wealthy parents, she has all the credentials to be a megastar.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if acting work followed, too.”
GERMAN model Claudia has a huge net worth, and her 19-year-old daughter Clementine won’t be far behind.
Despite having top film producer Matthew Vaughn for a dad, the teen has shunned the spotlight growing up, but that’s all set to change.
Now top brands are eyeing her up for collaborations and she’s stepping out with her mum to fashion shows across the globe – plus Vogue named her one of their “Darlings” in February this year.
She’s also a talented artist and photographer.
Nick says: “With two very famous parents, the world is Clementine’s oyster and, although she has a relatively small following on social media, her engagement is high and she is loved by brands globally.
“I can see her getting increasingly popular now that she’s decided to be a more public figure.
“With Vogue profiling her, and her father being a top Hollywood producer, I can see her branching into acting, too.
“Expect to see her in the next Guy Ritchie film very soon, commanding big bucks.”
CHRISTY, 55, was considered one of the original “supermodels” who rose to prominence in the late Eighties and she’s stayed relevant since.
Married to movie director Ed Burns, their daughter, Grace, 20, is a rising fashionista in her own right.
She recently worked with her mum on a collaboration with fashion brand Keds, and she has modelled for Carolina Herrera – despite Christy wishing “she’d stay far away” from a career in the industry.
Nick says: “Grace is a relative newbie to the scene, which is interesting as her mum apparently wouldn’t let her model until she was at least 18.
“But she is already well on her way to becoming a major face in fashion.
“With her parents’ great looks and high profiles, Grace won’t find it hard to get work.
“Plus she is already a published author, having released a book of poetry.
“If she can carve a niche career in writing, it would be another lucrative string to her bow.”
FRENCH singer and model Vanessa, 51, had Lily-Rose, 25, during her 14-year relationship with Hollywood actor Johnny Depp.
While Vanessa has long been a superstar in her native France, Lily is making her own strides in Hollywood as a successful actress.
Her model looks have seen her secure big-name fashion and beauty deals – she was named as face of Chanel when she was just 16.
Nick says: “As one of the most famous of all the second-generation supermodels, Lily has mixed her mum’s looks with her dad’s acting chops and made a name for herself independently.
“She cemented her status by starring in controversial drama The Idol, with The Weeknd, and has many upcoming films, including the Nosferatu remake alongside Emma Corrin.
“With her fabulous looks and famous parents, brands will continue to fall over themselves to work with her and I can see her continue to make tens of millions off Chanel deals alone.”
