Kaia Gerber just hopped on a beloved sartorial bandwagon - one already promoted by the likes of Sabrina Carpenter and Emily Ratajkowski.

Championing nightwear as outerwear was a subtle yet sophisticated fad in 2024, with lace slips and silky negligées becoming appropriate for everyday wear. Safe to say, the craze was a sleeper trend.

As the latest must to adopt the romantic look, Kaia styled out a dainty lilac number while aptly appearing in the In Your Dreams podcast, hoteted by comedian Owen Thiele. Her whimsical nightdress featured a babydoll silhouette, a scooped neckline with a fluttery broderie anglaise trim and a semi-sheer cotton construction.

The Valentino model paired the ethereal garment with a silk eye mask, complete with a pink and white candy cane striped print. She wore her brunette hair down loose in gentle mermaid waves and opted for a deeply glamorous (dare we say, non sheet-friendly) makeup blend.

A certified sleepwear lover, Kaia has curated quite the collection of high fashion ‘jammies.’ Last week, she shared a new post via social media, posing in a pool of warm California sunlight sporting a pale blue babydoll mini featuring a mini silhouette, an airy construction and broderie anglaise trims across the hemline and neckline of the sweetheart piece.

The dress came from the Library Science x DÔEN collaboration, marrying DÔEN, one of Kaia’s favourite brands, with Library Science, Kaia’s own label.

Championed by It-brands such as Gucci, Coperni, Chloé, Dolce & Gabbana and Rave Review, négligée silhouettes have morphed into a high fashion essential, taking the risqué throw-over from bedroom to boardroom. 

Sabrina Carpenter is perhaps the most notable fan of slumber à la mode, frequently wearing befeathered, bejewelled and befurred numbers on stage paired with kitschy-cute accessories and frilly bloomers. 

With such a stylish A-lister backing, it’s safe to say that nightwear as outerwear is a trend you don’t want to snooze on.
