On Friday night, the supermodel stepped out for her 18th birthday party at the Paradise Club in Times Square, New York.
For the occasion, Gerber – who features as October’s British Vogue cover star – wore a bespoke Versace outfit consisting of a black leather mini skirt paired with a sheer bodysuit and strappy heels.
The model also sported a voluminous bouffant hairstyle and smoky black eye makeup.
The ensemble was reminiscent to the outfit worn by Gerber’s mother to the VMA’s in 1992.
The Versace design, worn by Crawford, also featured crossover straps, a choker-style fastening and several gold buckles.
Gerber, who has hit headlines in recent years given her uncanny resemblance to her famous mother, updated the look with a large waist belt designed by Versace and matching statement earrings.
Crawford, 53, was also in attendance at Gerber’s birthday party, alongside husband Rande Gerber.
The mother-of two channelled another pop icon, Cher, by opting for a gold beaded headdress and matching bodysuit.
New York Fashion Week regulars Kendall Jenner and Winnie Harlow also stopped by, as well as Leonardo DiCaprio, Alexander Wang, Lourdes Leon, and Brooklyn Beckham.
Gerber, who officially turned 18 on the 3 September, thanked everyone “who kiki’d with us last night” in an Instagram post showing her on stage with performance artist Amanda Lepore.
In a recent interview with British Vogue Gerber spoke about her milestone birthday, saying: “Being 18... means independence. Age is very much so a concept, I think it places a label on you.
”Ever since I was younger people told me I was a really old soul. Because I felt I understood things I never learned.“
Crawford wished her daughter happy birthday on Instagram by sharing a photo from Gerber’s childhood.
