Kaia Gerber has had a busy few months. She has launched her new company Library Science – a reading community with merchandising. She travelled to the Olympic Games in Paris with her mother Cindy Crawford. The model was even crowned Celine Pilates Princess –And debuted with a fresh set of curtain bangs. Nevertheless, she really deserves a day off.
It should come as no surprise, however, that Gerber’s laid-back style is still incredibly chic. The model was spotted on August 14 stepping out of a car in full Book Club Founder fashion: a white T-shirt, pajama pants, and It sneakers.
While there’s a lot to be said about Gerber’s recipe for wearing pajamas outdoors, the beauty editor in me has to take a moment to discuss the model’s tight braids. The three-strand braids are definitely reminiscent of the ’90s and signal the resurgence of a retro hair trend.
Braids, a favorite of Jennifer Aniston, Britney Spears and even young Kaia herself, reached their peak of popularity in the 90s. But their return to the hairstyling scene is somewhat expected. In Marie-ClaireIn our roundup of the biggest hair trends for 2024, our experts predicted a renaissance of hairstyles from past decades.
While you may not be quite prepared to revive the deep side part from your school days or opt for a baroque bob, braids are a relatively easy way to get started on the wayback machine.
Instead of opting for super tight braids that go above the ears, opt for a looser braid that’s tucked behind the ears with the middle section slicked back. This is a great way to turn a braid into a simple hairstyle that looks completely different from the one you wore at summer camp. Just look to Gerber for proof.
