As far as mother-daughter duos go, few others can claim such great influence over the fashion industry as Cindy Crawford and Kaia Gerber. With cumulative decades in the industry, both have fronted some of the biggest campaigns out there, and having spent so much time in fashion's inner circle, it's no surprise that the two have honed excellent taste along the way.
However, with a 36-year age gap between them, what is surprising is just how similar their style preferences are. Attending an event in Paris over the weekend, both models opted to wear the same ageless item, selecting chic black dresses for the evening occasion they attended together.
With subtle differences that spoke to their individual tastes, Gerber chose her strappy LBD in a shorter length with an elegant sweetheart neckline. Pairing her black dress with burgundy Gucci slingback shoes, the model kept her outfit minimal and sleek, selecting only a few simple jewels and an elegant watch to complete the look.
Also choosing a sleeveless black dress, Crawford's iteration fell below her knees and included a sophisticated cowl neckline. Accessorising with The Row's Mel Polished Leather Clutch (£1350) and a pair of strappy sandals, Gerber's mother also kept her jewellery to a minimum with a single paper chain necklace and small, gold hoops. With access to endless designer options and countless new-season buys, the fact that they both chose a little black dress speaks to the enduring appeal of this timeless classic. Versatile, flattering and so easy to style, it's a wardrobe staple for a reason.
