Cindy Crawford and Kaia Gerber made the 2023 National Book Awards on Wednesday a mother-daughter date, looking to brand Ralph Lauren for their looks.

Gerber put neutral tones on winter dressing in a brown strapless dress with a leather black band, while Crawford kept things classic in a sharp white three-piece power suit.

Gerber’s look, which was styled in collaboration with Danielle Goldberg, was from the brand’s fall 2001 ready-to-wear collection.

The pair also made an appearance at the Planet Omega fashion reception and cocktail on Wednesday. The duo matched in all black, with Crawford wearing a plunging maxi dress and Gerber going flirty in a long-sleeve minidress with a pleated skirt.
