Kaia Gerber and Cindy Crawford have a tight bond and respect for each other. In 2019, Gerber penned an essay for Vogue in which she talked about people comparing her to her celeb mom, which she said is "the biggest compliment." "Beyond [Crawford's] beauty and obvious appeal, she has always been my hero and my role model because of the way she treats people and the lens that she sees the world through, and that's something for which I'm beyond grateful," Gerber added. The two were compared most recently when Gerber rocked a Hedi Slimane red halter dress in May 2022, per People, which had a similar look to a red gown Crawford donned at an event over three decades ago.

Crawford has also discussed her close relationship with Gerber, in which the two "talk every day, at least, and text," she said to W Magazine in 2018. "I can only go, like, a week without seeing [Gerber]," Crawford added. "If she doesn't text me back within 15 minutes, I do one in all caps and a lot of exclamation points." Gerber and Crawford's relationship also consists of Crawford passing along some sage words of advice to her daughter.
