Cindy Crawford's daughter Kaia Gerber, 14, lounges around in the pool while modeling a bold red bathing suit as she stars in a very grown-up fashion film for Miu Miu

  • The teenager has been named as the face of Miu Miu's latest campaign, which includes a stunning sun-kissed video filmed by a pool
  • Kaia gets up from a nap and walks out to the pool before diving in to retrieve a set of Mui Mui sunglasses from the pool floor
  • Her face isn't shown until the end of the clip when she emerges dramatically from the water in the glasses 
It's been a year of big career firsts for Cindy Crawford's 14-year-old daughter Kaia Gerber, who is following in her mom's footsteps into the fashion world.
The latest big news for the supermodel spawn is that she has been announced as the face of Miu Miu's latest campaign, and stars in her very first, slightly risque, mini fashion film. 
The video, set to gentle guitar music, features the teen waking up from a nap and hopping into an outdoor pool modelling items such as sunglasses and pool slides.

The description for the video by the brand singles out Kaia as someone who 'perfectly encapsulates the maverick femininity of the Miu Miu girl'.
After getting out of bed with a loose tunic, Kaia heads out to the pool in the clip, the camera trained on her long legs.
The focus of the edgy film is on a set of sunglasses which Kaia - after pushing off a pair of stylish pink pool slides - retrieves from the floor of the pool by jumping in.
The slow-moving clip doesn't feature the model's face until the very end when she emerges from the water wearing the sunglasses and a red swimsuit, the camera close-up on her face at a downward angle.
The ending of the clip shows Kaia lounging on a pool float wearing a one-piece swimsuit covered by the tunic, which is sheer after being soaked by the water.

It's just the latest addition to Kaia's ever-growing resume, which includes being on the cover of Vogue with her famous mom and even landing her very first fashion campaign earlier this year with high-end rocker-chic label Chrome Hearts.
The teen was named the face of the brand's Spring/Summer campaign back in February, the first since she signed with IMG Models last year.
She also previously did a CR Fashion Book editorial with brother Presley Gerber and now, her first mini fashion film. 
But it's a lucky break that she was even allowed to get into the business at such a young age. Initially, Cindy didn't want Kaia to begin modeling professionally until she was 17 — but after Kaia posed for a Young Versace ad when she was ten, she was hooked.

She still had to wait a few more years before signing with IMG Models at 13, but she's OK with the pause because it allowed her to be a kid for a few more years — and after all, she added, 'mom knows best'.
'Your dad and I want you to be happy — whatever that may means so if modeling is something you like and want to continue, I can provide a road map and help you make good choices,' Cindy told her in a joint interview with The Thick in October. 
But, speaking on behalf of her husband, Rande Gerber, 53, she addded: 'We also want to preserve your childhood and let you be a 14-year-old when you’re 14. There’s no rush.' 
All the campaigns have proven that Kaia certainly has the looks for the job, and that's not the only thing she has gotten from her famous mom - she has also given her mini-me plenty of pertinent advice when it comes to perfecting a look for the camera.
'My mom told me to always have a thought behind my expressions,' Kaia told Teen Vogue, adding that the practice helps a picture seem deeper, and not just of a 'blank face'.
