While Cindy Crawford can credit her permanent supermodel status to a million-dollar mole, her daughter and practical clone, Kaia Gerber, is blazing her own camera-ready trail with the help of one game-changing attribute: mile-long legs that are to daisy dukes what contouring is to Kendall Jenner’s cheekbones.

Every new super has her thing, be it a mastery of the naked look (Bella Hadid) or the art of vacation beauty (Joan Smalls), and Gerber has taken denim cutoffs from the very definition of ’90’s babe-dom to a model uniform worth celebrating in the twenty-teens. Spotted leaving the young Hollywood hotspot The Nice Guy last night, the 15-year-old ticked off all the back-from-the-beach boxes with rumpled waves and after-dark nudes, along with a head-to-toe bronzed glow. Of course, a celebration of frayed shorts is a celebration of smooth, twice-shaved legs: If Gerber has one beauty statement to make this season it’s that a second pre-party shave is at the heart of any hot-pant-inspired look. Body oil, anyone?
