Kaia Gerber glammed up to promote her upcoming FX series The Shards at the 2026 Disney Upfront, held Tuesday at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood.
Outfit and Style
The 24-year-old DNA Model flaunted her taut tummy in a black long-sleeve crop-top, which accented her cleavage. She paraded her slim 5ft 9in figure in a matching pencil skirt and peep-toe cha-cha heels selected by stylist Siena Montesano Gones. The Los Cabo-bronzed beauty fully contoured her complexion and wore lip gloss, but her middle-parted brunette mane looked a bit limp.
The Shards Details
TV viewers might not be aware that FX and 20th Television, which produced Ryan Murphy's serial killer thriller, is actually owned by the Walt Disney Company. Gerber was joined by castmates Igby Rigney and Homer Gere, who, like Gerber, is a nepo baby with Richard Gere as his famous father. The Library Science co-founder portrays a wealthy prep school student in one episode of the 10-episode, 1981 LA-set dark coming-of-age tale, originally based on Bret Easton Ellis' 2023 novel of the same name.
The Shards premieres this August and will also feature Evan Rachel Wood, Wes Bentley, Hayes Warner, Graham Campbell, and Daniel Dale. Gerber previously worked with the 60-year-old showrunner on FX's American Horror Story: Double Feature and the spin-off American Horror Stories in 2021.
Recent Projects
On May 1, Deadline reported that the Overcompensating actress and her boyfriend Lewis Pullman signed on to star as married couple Ava and Marco at a hedonistic island resort in James Morosini's erotic thriller, Bulls. That same day, Gerber commented three bullseye emojis on Morosini's Instagram post announcing the project, where he gushed: 'Love this cast, love this team, here we go!'
The LA native has been dating the 33-year-old nepo baby of Bill Pullman since December 2024. Gerber previously dated Oscar nominee Austin Butler from 2021-2024, Oscar nominee Jacob Elordi from 2020-2021, and Saturday Night Live alum Pete Davidson from 2019-2020.
The Givenchy FW/25 catwalker is in need of a commercial hit, considering her last two films were flops and her Apple TV+ series Palm Royale was canceled in March after two seasons. Gerber last portrayed back-up dancer Nikki for Anne Hathaway's troubled pop star in David Lowery's psychological thriller Mother Mary, which earned only $3 million back from its $20 million budget since opening April 17.
The NARS spokesmodel also didn't have luck playing a character called Oksana in Jonah Hill's black comedy Outcome, starring Keanu Reeves, which received dismal reviews after premiering April 10 on Apple TV+.
Family
Gerber is following in the footsteps of her famous mother, nineties supermodel Cindy Crawford, who pursued acting in projects like Fair Game, Frasier, 3rd Rock from the Sun, The Simian Line, According to Jim, Wizards of Waverly Place, and BoJack Horseman. The 60-year-old Meaningful Beauty co-founder also welcomed son Presley Gerber during her 27-year marriage to Casamigos co-founder Rande Gerber.
On December 29, the heavily-tattooed 26-year-old gave a 'Mental Health Monday' update where he listed all the medications he's taking for depression and insomnia: Buprenorphine, Xanax, Valium, Remeron, Belsomra, and Melatonin. 'They make me feel good or at least all right for the time being,' Presley explained in an Instagram video. 'The better you're taking care of your body, so - nutrition, physical activity, those kinds of things - medications, for me personally, seem to work better.' The former Celine model, who has seen 15 psychiatrists, added: 'I'm feeling good about where I'm at now.'
On March 26, Gerber declared in her older sibling's comments section: 'That's my brother I am so damn proud.'
