Kaia Gerber, Cindy Crawford’s mini-me
When supermodel Cindy Crawford is your mother, you’re born photogenic. At 13, Kaia Gerber has already been shot for Teen Vogue and nabbed a Versace campaign.While she’s not ready for the big leagues just yet, that doesn’t mean she won’t be eventually. “I’ve seen my mom do it, and it seems exhausting,” she told the magazine. “It’s not easy — you’re in heels all the time and constantly having to dress up. If that’s your job, jeans and a T-shirt are all you really dream of.
Are you as tired of seeing Kendall Jenner’s face as we are? She was the star of last season’s runways from New York to Paris, and, as you’d expect, she scored a slew of major campaigns soon after. She’s the newest face of Estée Lauder, starred in Marc Jacobs’ fall campaign, and has already become something of a Vogue regular. She’s officially more model than it-girl and we’re ready to see who fashion christens next. After all, the one thing this industry loves more than anything is newness.
One of the reasons why Jenner, and her friends like Gigi Hadid and Justin Bieber, have infiltrated the exclusive high-fashion world so successfully, is because of her pre-existing massive social media following. Based on that, and Yahoo Style’s own very scientific algorithm, here’s who we expect to be the model-of-the-moment this time next year (and the years after that).
Maddie Ziegler, from Dance Moms
Making her start on Dance Moms, Maddie Ziegler recently shot to fame after starring in two of Sia’s music videos. The 12-year-old has more than 500,000 followers on Twitter and 2.2 million on Instagram (that’s nearly double Gigi Hadid’s 1.2 million). 2019 will be a big year.
Noelle Robinson, Atlanta Housewife-spawn
Noelle Robinson is the daughter of Cynthia Bailey, a former model and star of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. She’s only 12 and has had very limited screen time on the show to date, but she’s already amassed more than 64,000 Instagram followers. This one will be on many a mood board in four years time.
Emerson Rose Tenney, the undiscovered star
Emerson Rose Tenney is actress Teri Hatcher and Jon Tenney’s daughter. At 17, she has laid low, undiscovered by the Internet and paparazzi thus far, but her height and beauty make her a perfect candidate to be the next fashion darling.
Billie Lourd, the new Princess Leia
Corinne Foxx, the one who wants to model
Jamie Foxx’s 20-year-old daughter Corinne is one to keep an eye on. Her social media profiles are on the rise — on both Twitter and Instagram she has more than 30,000 followers — and already has a desire to model and an agent to help make it happen. All she needs is one big break (maybe it’s this!) and her popularity is sure to skyrocket.
