Kaia Gerber just put a wintry spin on the inescapable mob wife trend.
In photos recently shared to Instagram, the model poses against the backdrop of a snowy ski resort, dressed to the nines in a shaggy coffee-brown fur coat, a black balaclava, large black sunglasses, and black leather gloves. She accessorized with a gold Omega watch and a dark brown suede bag.
“Beautiful st. moritz with my @omega family,” Gerber wrote in the caption. She added in a comment, “Is this what the kids are calling mob wife aesthetic?? help.”
Another snap in the same post shows Gerber posing in a monochromatic ensemble composed of a black military jacket adorned with regal gold buttons and the same gloves and watch from the first picture. And in a video, Gerber once again shows off her timeless fashion sense in a loose pleated turtleneck tucked into a matching pleated miniskirt, and accessories like a black headband, sheer black tights, and nearly knee-high boots.
(Heads up: The last photo in the carousel is a selfie in which Gerber has a very bloody nose.)
Gerber, along with supermodel mom Cindy Crawford, is an ambassador for luxury watch brand Omega.
She opened up about the sentiment behind the classic timepieces in an interview with Bazaar last November. “I have never lived at a time when a watch was a necessity, so I think I have a very different relationship to them,” she said. “For me, they feel super timeless and classic, in the way that people don’t read physical copies of books or listen to records on record players. There’s something really special about the sentiment of a watch, especially now because you don’t really need them anymore.”
As an associate editor at HarpersBAZAAR.com, Chelsey keeps a finger on the pulse on all things celeb news. She also writes on social movements, connecting with activists leading the fight on workers' rights, climate justice, and more. Offline, she’s probably spending too much time on TikTok, rewatching Emma (the 2020 version, of course), or buying yet another corset.
