She's on a roll! Cindy Crawford's daughter Kaia Gerber, 13, stars in glamorous CR Fashion Book shoot just days after making her editorial debut in Vogue
- Kaia, who is Cindy’s second child with husband Rande Gerber, recently signed with IMG Models and last week appeared in Vogue Italia
- Now the teen is posing for Carine Roitfeld's magazine - and was styled by the editor herself
- She also appears in a shot with her brother Presley Gerber
Cindy Crawford's gorgeous little doppelganger is wasting no time making a name for herself in the fashion industry.
Only last week, photos were released of Kaia Gerber, 13, in her first editorial for Vogue Italia as it was also announced that she had signed a modeling contract with top agency IMG Models.
Now, Kaia seems bent on following her mother's trajectory toward supermodel status as she appears in a set of beautiful shots for French fashion editor Carine Roitfeld's magazine, CR Fashion Book.

In the first shot, the young teenager is laying down in an embellished pink dress layered over a striped sweater, with a set of multicolor stars applied to her upper cheek below cat eye liner. Shot by legendary photographer Bruce Weber and styled by Carine herself, the modeling world beginner already looks like a pro.
In another shot, also photographed by Bruce, Kaia sits in front of a car with model Garrett Taber and her own older brother, Presley Gerber. While Presley - who sometimes takes pictures of his little sister for Instagram - is holding two cameras, it's Kaia's outfit that steals focus. The junior fashionista wears green platform boots, leopard leggings, a beaded skirt, and a Versace sweatshirt.
Though the issue won't be available until September, the images were teased on the CR Fashion Book Instagram page earlier today and have already received thousands of likes.
Glamorous debut: Cindy Crawford's daughter Kaia Gerber appears in a new spread in Vogue Italia
Major modeling gig: The 13-year-old also just signed a modeling contract with IMG, a top agency
Last week, Kaia made what was trumped as her modeling debut as she posed for a spread in Vogue Italia.
'Now representing: @KaiaGerber. Welcome to the family!' IMG announced on the agency's Instagram page .
The company shared two black-and-white images of Kaia shot by legendary photographer Steven Meisel, in which the young model poses in a shirt, tie, and peacoat, as well as a fuzzy leopard jacket.
'Unreal,' Kaia wrote on Twitter and Instagram alongside the leopard jacket snap, which featured a beauty look created by celebrity make-up artist Pat McGrath.
As any proud mother would, Cindy also took to Instragram to share one of the beautiful photos, captioning it: 'Guess I better watch my back... Love this shot of @KaiaGerber by #StevenMeisel for @VogueItalia!'
They grow up so fast: After Kaia starred in a campaign for Versace's children's line, Cindy wanted to put her daughter's career on hold

While this was Kaia's first grown-up modelling gig, it was not actually the only time she has posed professionally - in 2012, she was the face of Versace's children's line and Donatella herself said she had her mother's 'very special gift'.
In 2006, Kaia also modeled children’s bikinis by Melissa Odabash. At the time, the photos caused a bit of a controversy, as the then 5-year-old was shot topless, staring over her shoulder with a temporary tattoo on her lower back.
Many critics called the pictures inappropriate. Cindy fired back, claiming it was 'just a fun little photo shoot' and not the beginning of Kaia's modeling career - but the snaps were promptly scrubbed from the Melissa Odabash website.
In the following years, Cindy wanted her doppleganger daughter to take it slow before following in her famous footsteps. In fact, she even told the Daily Front Row that she would have liked Kaia to wait until she was 17 to truly enter the business.
But it seems that now Cindy has finally let Kaia, who is her second child with husband Rande Gerber, fully commit to her dream career.
'She doesn’t want me to start a career too young,' Kaia told Teen Vogue late last year. 'She started modeling when she was 16, but that world is very different now.'

Even if she was reluctant to let go, Cindy still didn't unleash Kaia on the industry unprepared. She's given her daughter some tips for handling herself in the modeling world - and she would know, seeing as how Forbes named Cindy the highest-paid model in 1995.
'She knows so much about it,' Kaia, who has an older brother, Presley, 16, explained. 'I think it would be hard for her to be on set and not say things like, "Psst, Kaia, put your elbow up."'
And her mom isn't the only supermodel she can turn to for advice. The gorgeous tween said that she grew up surrounded by women like Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, and Linda Evangelista - though when she was younger, she hadn't yet realized how iconic these ladies were.
Kaia is also friends with up-and-coming It Girl Bella Hadid, who she calls 'Da Baby Bells'.
