Kaia Gerber paid homage to her legendary mother Cindy Crawford in a pair of the Jimmy Choo ‘Ixia’ pumps while attending the “Shell” premiere at the Toronto Film Festival on Thursday night.
The model wore a white Hervé Leger body-con maxi dress with a sweetheart neckline and underwire cups—a recreation of Crawford’s 1993 Oscars dress, which was custom-made for the appearance. “Kaia had sent me a mood board for TIFF and this was one of her references,” Molly Dickson, Gerber’s stylist, told Vogue. “I thought it would be amazing to pay tribute to Cindy’s iconic moment.”
As for her shoes, Gerber chose a pair of the Jimmy Choo Ixia pumps for her appearance at the Toronto Film Festival. Opting for the latte colorway, the shoe features a classic pump with a contemporary drop heel and square-cut vamp, and is crafted with Italian patent leather material.
Emphasized by a pointed-toe construction, the shoes are also lined with leather for comfort and feature a rubber outsole that allows for seamless walking on hardwood floors and tough pavements. Rounding out the silhouette is a drop heel measuring 3.7 inches in height.
Crawford wore the custom-made dress, and similar shoes, when she and ex-husband Richard Gere attended the 65th Annual Academy Awards together at Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles in March 1993. The pair was married from 1991 to 1995. She then married businessman Rande Gerber in 1998 and they welcomed son Presley and Kaia.

The silhouette was finished with a stiletto heel measuring roughly 3-to-4 inches in height.
