September 4, 2017

Cindy Crawford has celebrated her model daughter Kaia Gerber's 16th birthday with a throwback photo of the teen's very first Vogue appearance. Kaia graced the pages of the fashion bible as a little girl in the arms of her supermodel mum, and Cindy shared the photo on Instagram on Sunday, to mark Kaia's milestone birthday.

"Happy 16th birthday @KaiaGerber! Love this pic of us by @PatrickDemarchelier. Your first time in @VogueMagazine, but I'm pretty sure not your last! Hope all your wishes come true — love you always!" she gushed.

Cindy and her husband Rande Gerber also treated their daughter to a night out at Delilah in West Hollywood, and were joined by their eldest, son Presley, 18, who's also a model.

Looking like a dead ringer for her mum, Kaia showed off her slim figure in a mini skirt, beaded bralette and strappy heels.

Uploading a snap to her own Instagram earlier in the week, Kaia shared a loving photo of her and Cindy, and asked her 1.6 million followers: "can u tell we're related ? (sic)"

Kaia began her modelling career two years ago at the tender age of 14, and has since landed gigs for Marc Jacobs and Hudson Jeans. She has also been tapped by Vogue Paris and LOVE magazine.

Her rise to the top hasn't been without backlash though, but Kaia knows exactly how to deal with internet trolls.

"You can't focus on it because teenage girls have enough stress as it is and the pressure that we put on ourselves is enough," she previously told Entertainment Tonight. "I just don't look at it because I know those people wouldn't say things like that if they weren't hiding behind a computer."
