Between the white cotton blouses, the pretty ballet pumps and the cropped trousers that all make up key parts of Kaia Gerber's capsule wardrobe, it's safe to say that the model has a penchant for French-inspired styling. This week, however, she really took for eye for a Parisian-worthy buy up a level, stepping out in the two-piece ensemble that had me mistaking her New York surroundings for the Champs-Élysées.
Picking up on the polka dot fashion trend that's been bubbling up this season, Gerber put a decidedly French-forward spin on the trend by picking it up in a fiery shade of red. Both a little bit retro and incredibly 2025 all at the same time, this elegant print feels at once playful and poised—a balance that French women have always mastered.
Stepping into another Parisian favourite, Gerber selected a pair of light cream heeled ballet pumps to complete her daytime look. Adding just a little bit of height, without sacrificing comfort, these low-heel shoes balanced the knee-grazing cut of Gerber's vintage midi-dress, which she picked up at New York's The Vintage Twin boutique, while adding poise and elegance to her outfit that regular ballet flats can't quite achieve.
All in all, Gerber's pretty summer dress and comfortable heeled shoes ensured a polished look and a minimal amount of effort. Luckily for the rest of us, her hero pieces have been cropping up all over the high street this season. From Zara's elegant red polkadot dress to H&M's wearable heeled pumps, read on to shop Gerber's look below.
