    A plethora of late 2025 trends have started making an appearance following the arrival of fall. Model Kaia Gerber co-signed one particular fashion trend during a night out on Sunday, October 12. She also found the perfect accessory for her outfit: a classic Chanel Flap Bag that literally never goes out of style.

    On Sunday night, Gerber was spotted in Los Angeles wearing a black pencil skirt, tapping into a trend that's been steadily gaining popularity. She styled the knee-length skirt with a V-neck sweater and Repetto's Camille Ballet Flats, which feature a slight chunky heel. A fan of the footwear brand, Gerber has been photographed wearing several of their styles in recent months.

    A classic blue Chanel Flap Bag completed the model's sleek outfit. The vintage style often trades hands for as much as $4,450, and has been in Gerber's collection since 2020.

    In an April 2025 interview with Vogue, Gerber reflected on ways in which her mom, supermodel Cindy Crawford, had influenced her own fashion choices. "Her style has been pretty dialed in for a while," Gerber said of Crawford. "The older I get, the more I go into your territory, which is classic. The nice thing about like looking quite similar to a parent is if I want to know if a hair or makeup look will look good on me, I will look up pictures of my mom—because if it looks good on her, most of the time, I can pull it off as well."

    As well as finding inspiration in her mom's most iconic looks, Gerber is carving out a style all of her own.
