Kaia Gerber celebrated her 18th birthday over the weekend in New York City in a leather outfit that paid homage to a look her mother Cindy Crawford once wore on the red carpet.

The young model's edgy, bespoke, bondage-inspired Versace outfit was reminiscent of the outfit Crawford wore to the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards.

Gerber completed her night-out look with over-the-knee sandals and a dramatic hairdo by famed hair stylist Guido Palau.

For the issue, Gerber opened up about her private life and how she considers herself an "old soul."

"When I'm working, I don't have the energy to even flirt with anyone. I'm sorry, I just can't," she told the outlet. "But I'm not losing hope in all love forever. ...I have backgammon at my house, and that's all a girl needs. When I'm home, I'm living the life of a 70-year-old woman."

Her mother also addresses nepotism-based critiques celebrity children often face while working in a similar industry.

"Even though it probably bothers her, we all realize that, yeah, Steven Meisel will see her [because of who she is]," Crawford told British Vogue on her daughter working with the famed photographer.
