In the ever-evolving world of fashion and social media, 16-year-old Kaia Gerber is making waves that even industry giants like Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid cannot ignore. The daughter of legendary ‘90s supermodel Cindy Crawford, Kaia is not just another model; she’s a force to be reckoned with on Instagram.
While Jenner, Hadid, and Bella Hadid rank among the most followed models on the platform, Kaia is outpacing them in a critical area: follower engagement. Despite her relatively modest following of 2.9 million, which pales in comparison to Kendall’s impressive 87.6 million and Gigi’s 38.5 million, Kaia leads the pack in how actively her followers interact with her posts.
According to recent data from Instagram, which analyzed various fashion accounts for engagement metrics—likes, comments, and shares—Kaia is at the forefront. Her dynamic presence and relatable content resonate deeply with her audience, ensuring that her posts garner immediate attention and lively interactions.
Kaia signed her modelling contract with IMG Models at just 13 years old and quickly captured the attention of fashion editors worldwide, who have dubbed her the “one to watch.” Her runway debut was nothing short of spectacular, as she graced the catwalks for high-profile designers such as Saint Laurent, Prada, Burberry, and Alexander Wang.
Interestingly, while Kaia ranks sixth in overall follower count among models, her brother, Presley Gerber, takes the fifth spot, demonstrating that the Gerber family is making a notable impact in the fashion world.
In an unexpected twist, the top spot for follower engagement goes to Ukrainian model Julia Ratner, who boasts a modest 39.6k followers but has managed to create a dedicated and interactive fan base. Following her are Nigerian model Mayowa Nicholas, Paulina Frankowska, and Léa Julian.
As Kaia Gerber continues to rise in the fashion industry and expand her influence on social media, it’s clear that she is not only a product of her iconic lineage but a remarkable talent in her own right. The fashion world will undoubtedly be watching as she carves out her unique path, both on the runway and online.
