Kaia Gerber is again proving that the supermodel gene runs strong in her family. The 23-year-old actress and model stunned fans with the first promotional photo for "Palm Royale" season two, where she looked like the spitting image of her legendary mom, Cindy Crawford.
In the sultry shot, Kaia reclines on a bed in a delicate blue babydoll teddy paired with a matching bow in her hair. The dim lighting, the strategically placed martini glass, and her long legs stretched across the frame all gave the photo an unmistakable old-Hollywood allure.
Her piercing gaze, described as "bedroom eyes," sealed the resemblance to her mother, who dominated fashion runways and magazine covers throughout the late '80s and '90s.
On Instagram, Kaia teased her character's return, captioning the image: "Mitzi [white heart emoji] first look of Palm Royale season two @appletv." Fans immediately flooded the comments with side-by-side comparisons to Cindy, marveling at just how much she resembles her mom's iconic beauty.
What's Coming in Season Two
Apple TV+ confirmed the long-awaited release date alongside a carousel of promotional stills. Palm Royale season two premieres November 12, and the streamer hyped fans with the caption: "Raise a grasshopper for the return of Palm Royale."
Among the new images, Kristen Wiig's Maxine stole the spotlight in a yellow fringe crop top with lace bell-bottoms, her voluminous hair teased to perfection. Leslie Bibb also appeared in character, while Laura Dern was photographed sitting cross-legged on a bed, her scene carrying a mysterious edge.
Comedy legend Carol Burnett, now 92, looked radiant in a bold, multicolored flowing dress. Amber Chardae Robinson also joined the ensemble lineup, sharing the news with her own enthusiastic Instagram post: "Weeeee'rreeee Back Baby!!!"
Kaia's Role as Mitzi
Kaia plays Mitzi, a character revealed in season one to be entangled in an affair with Douglas (Josh Lucas), the husband of Maxine, Wiig's ambitious and somewhat chaotic social climber. Kaia was even spotted filming with a prosthetic baby bump last October, hinting at juicy developments for her storyline.
The show itself is loosely adapted from Juliet McDaniel's novel "Mr. & Mrs. American Pie," set in Palm Beach, Florida, in 1969. The comedy-drama dives into the glamorous but cutthroat social world of the ultra-wealthy, where appearances mean everything and scandal is never far behind.
A Glamorous Return
Season one of "Palm Royale" earned buzz for its satirical yet stylish look at high society, blending biting humor with vintage aesthetics. With Apple Studios officially renewing the series in June 2024, the sophomore season promises even more drama, more outrageous costumes, and more unforgettable performances, judging from these first-look images.
For Kaia Gerber, this season is shaping up to be a defining moment in her acting career. Not only is she stepping into a more complex storyline, but she's also reminding the world that the Crawford-Gerber dynasty continues to reign in both fashion and Hollywood.
When Palm Royale hits Apple TV+ this November, it's safe to say Mitzi will be the center of attention.
