Kaia Gerber has had a big summer. The supermodel-cum-literary-enthusiast-cum-actor has spent most of the season gallivanting around the globe to promote her performance in Ryan Murphy’s new steamy ‘80s teen thriller, The Shards. As a certified bibliophile, it should come as no surprise to hear that she plays a starring role in the television adaptation of the book of the same name by Bret Easton Ellis. So, whilst many of her contemporaries were cruising on yachts around the Mediterranean, Gerber took to the road in custom Prada and bespoke Valentino couture to publicise the show. (Including sitting down with none other than Who What Wear UK whilst she was in London.)

Now, with it already the number one most-watched series on Disney+, it appears that Gerber finally has the opportunity to take the much-needed downtime she deserves. But it appears there’s no rest for the wicked or the sartorially inclined, with Gerber using one of her first days off in months to deliver a stellar case of autumn wardrobe envy. Stepping out in Los Angeles alongside her boyfriend, fellow actor and nepo baby Lewis Pullman, she reminded us of the cold weather’s impending arrival by wearing an outfit every chic dresser will be clambering to recreate once this heatwave ends.

Indeed, whilst out for dinner, the 24-year-old opted for a timeless formula that consisted of a black dress, trench coat and black ballet flats. She accessorised the look with a cobalt blue Chanel flap bag and a chocolate brown scarf, two of the biggest colour trends of the past year. Despite founding Library Science, a book club that highlights underrepresented voices and debut worlds, her approach to personal style could never be described as too studious.
