Kaia Gerber, 14, looks identical to her model mother Cindy Crawford, 50, as the pair pose together on the cover of Vogue Paris

She got it from her mama! Kaia Gerber, 14, looks identical to her model mother Cindy Crawford, 50, as the pair pose together on the cover of Vogue Paris

  • Kaia has previously posed for fashion editorials in Vogue Italia and CR Fashion Book, as well as ads for Alexander Wang and Chrome Hearts
  • The April issue of Vogue Paris, in which she and her mom wear matching leather jackets and hoop earrings, is her first cover
  • Mom Cindy said it was 'special' to share the moment with her mini-me
  • Cindy has offered plenty of help with her daughter's career, plucking her eyebrows, doling out modeling tips, and lending her designer clothes
Some mothers and daughters bond by getting pedicures or grabbing lunch — but when mom's a supermodel and her daughter's a fashion up-and-comer, the natural way to enjoy some quality girl time is to pose together for the cover of a magazine.
Or at least, that's the case for Cindy Crawford, 50, and her 14-year-old doppelgänger Kaia Gerber. The lookalike duo share the April cover of Vogue Paris, looking way more like a pair of gorgeous sisters than mother and child.
They're even styled to look like twins, wearing matching leather jackets and hoop earrings while their brunette locks catch some wind.

Cindy was clearly quite proud of her little lookalike, sharing the image on Instagram this morning with the message: 'Such a special moment sharing a cover with my daughter.'
It's particularly special for Kaia, too, as it marks her first time on the cover of a magazine. In the past, she's posed inside the pages of Vogue Italia, CR Fashion Book, and Teen Vogue.
For this issue of Vogue Paris, which hits newsstands March 24, Cindy and Kaia were styled by none other than editor-in-chief Emmanuelle Alt herself, and were shot by famed photographer Mario Testino.
Stylist James Pecis, who did their hair, also shared the new cover and doled out some serious praise, writing on Instagram: 'These two were amazing.' Moving on up: Though this is Kaia's first cover, she has modeled in magazines in the past, earning a 14-page spread in Teen Vogue last year

While having a mom in the business certainly seems to have helped Kaia excel at such a young age, it's much more than connections that contribute to how fast the teenager is pulling ahead.
In addition to inheriting some very good genes, Kaia has also been privileged to modeling tips, excellent beauty skills, and a designer-packed closet care of her famous mom. 
In November, she told Teen Vogue that she relies on Cindy to keep her eyebrows looking awesome, since she herself might get carried away.
'My mom does mine because I know I would go tweezer-crazy and wind up with no eyebrows at all. I love the look of full brows that aren’t perfectly done — eyebrows on fleek, that’s the goal. My eyebrows are like Miley — they can’t be tamed, even with brow gel,' she said.
Her mom has also given her plenty of advice for posing on camera, generously offering up her expertise on the matter.

'[She] told me to always have a thought behind my expressions,' she said, adding that the practice helps a picture seem deeper, and not just of a 'blank face'.
And then there are the clothes. In September, Cindy revealed to The Coveteur that she has tons of designer items socked away that she's saving for her daughter in an 'archival closet'.
'I have a lot of clothes that actually I haven’t even opened,' she said. 'I’ve saved old Alaïa pieces from when I used to do his show and he used to pay us in clothes, or Chanel, so those are in a separate closet — more like an archival closet that I’m keeping for my daughter.'
While she's waiting, though, Kaia is happy to grab from her mom's actual closet — and she doesn't always return what she finds there. 
'I’ll ask to borrow things, and they’ll wind up in my own wardrobe permanently,' she admitted to Teen Vogue, adding that her favorite find there has been a distressed leather jacket that she hasn't put back. 'My mother constantly wonders why stuff disappears.'
