Kaia Gerber opts for casual comfort in a fuzzy tie-dye fleece jacket for a friend’s birthday party in Los Angeles

She regularly wears the latest haute couture when she struts down the catwalk.

But Kaia Gerber traded out her chic ensembles in favor of a casual look as she helped a friend celebrate their birthday in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The 19-year-old model looked relaxed in a fuzzy pink fleece jacket marked with off-centered dark blue splotches.

Kaia had on a black crop top underneath that revealed a hint of her toned and tanned midriff.

She dressed down with simple gray sweatpants that were pulled up just enough to showcase her burgundy socks. 

The 5ft9in beauty completed her outfit with white sneakers and a brown croissant-shaped handbag resting under her arm.

She blocked out the sun’s rays with a classic pair of black sunglasses and added some style with multiple beaded necklaces.

Kaia also brought along a powder blue insulated water bottle to stay hydrated.

She had her shoulder-length brunette tresses parted down the middle and she wore a black mask to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Kaia was joined by a friend on her outing who wore her own tie-dye shirt, along with a pink sweatshirt.

She carried some of their birthday gifts for their friend, including a Super Mario toy and a gift bag.

On Tuesday, Kaia was one of several celebrities profiled in The New York Times for starting virtual book clubs in recent years.

The daughter of Cindy Crawford started her Instagram Live book club in March 2020, just as the coronavirus pandemic was getting into full swing.

The first book that she officially discussed was Sally Rooney’s buzzy novel Normal People, which she discussed with actress Daisy Edgar-Jones, who starred as one of the lead characters in Hulu and BBC Three’s hit miniseries adaptation.

Since then, Kaia has chatted with leading authors and found a sweet spot between commercially successful works and critically acclaimed novels and non-fiction.
