Here's to hoping she takes care of herself once her metabolism slows down. But wow those legs are just to die for.
Her upper area now (at just barely 16) is equal to/slightly worse than my upper area at 20...just saying. This girl is facing an uphill battle if she wants to stay skinny. The "Body positivity" message of today's Instamodels mixed with her rich girl lifestyle are bad omens for what's to come.
However it seems her and her girlfriends (re: @charlotteslawrence) are actually pretty obsessed with being skinny, which gives me hope for the future of LA nep models and their preferred aesthetics

She's definitely privileged and that could impact her negatively. But so far, her media presence is like Lily Rose Depp's. Personal life is kept private, work in fashion, film etc., is public. Neither has really done the whole teen age Disney star drama like Miley, Demi and blah blah blah.
Also slightly OT, but I don't think that it's fair to pin point the body positivity message as a soley negative aspect. Body positivity isn't just "I'm overweight because I'm unhealthy, but it's okay!" It's also relevant to positivity around thin bodies and antiskinny shaming. I know your probably didn't mean it in that way but thought I'd bring it up.
Polite objection to the inclusion of Demi's bulimia and cutting under "Disney star drama."
I would like to add thar body positivity extends beyond fat and thin shaming.
In general, I think that accepting your body and not hating it is beneficial for everyone and does not prevent you from working on it in the meantime. Yes, many now use it as an excuse for overeating and obesity but body positivity had a good impact for those with disabilities and birth marks.
Ah, I should have clarified! I definitely wasn't insinuating her mental illness as "Disney star drama"
She's 16! I don't think that's much younger than the model we usually ogle here.
I have a younger cousin whose legs I totally envy (she's 14), and I remember reading a thread on here that says I'm not alone. Not even embarrassed about it (well, here on SG). Still, young thinspo never truly inspires me, though...once someone can maintain it into her 30s, or with kids, then I'm impressed.

I know it sounds weird but I do find myself envying youthfulness these days. I wouldn't say i'm jealous of their bodies, but definitely their metabolisms and hopefulness
Kaia's body is amazing right now but it's clear she's really young. At the same time, I feel like it's too soon to judge what her body's gonna look like 5 years from now. She definitely reads genuinely natural-skinny to me, so I'm rooting for her. I'm sure she's eying runway moments this season, I wouldn't be surprised to see her walking for Tommy Hilfiger or Jeremy Scott. Though I've already said I do find her more appealing commercially!
I know, I still find all of this weird for her age, idk. She just turned 16, she has a whole glam team, a stylist, an hairdresser and she's walking Alexander Wang. I know many models start at 16/17 but they've been grooming her for this since she was 14, she's not poor, she really doesn't need to work as a model for money or life experiences so why couldn't they let her wait a little? It just creeps me out that she looks like she's in her 20sShe's 16! I don't think that's much younger than the model we usually ogle here.

I think she's really been pushing for it herself tbh. From the rumours I've heard she's been very demanding of her path and of speeding up the process. I remember hearing of her being super annoyed her parents wouldn't let her pose naked. There was a blind gossip item on it too: http://blindgossip.com/?p=74545 not that that makes it totally credible, but where there's smoke there's fire.
So she got CK and Alexander Wang confirmed for her first FW. Good!She is debuting at Calvin Klein tonight
Such an unflattering outfitCalvin Klein S/S 2018 New York
I wanted to see her wear something that would show off those legs.
I personally think she fitted right in with the cast, she nailed this. Her walk wasn't bad eitherCalvin Klein S/S 2018 New York
You may have to wait until Alexander Wang or something, since all of the CK looks only showed calfSuch an unflattering outfit
