They look so much alike. Viewers reacting to just a single scene from the drama say it looks as if Cindy Crawford herself has made a direct appearance.

Supermodel Cindy Crawford's daughter, Kaia Gerber, will appear in FX Networks' new series "The Shards," set to be released on the 5th (local time), sporting a 1980s-style voluminous wave hairstyle.

Her portrayal of Susan Reynolds, the student council president at an elite private high school and a character at the height of popularity in the drama, has drawn comparisons to vintage photos of her mother, the top model Cindy Crawford, in her prime. While the mother-daughter duo was already famous for their striking resemblance, this time even their hairstyles are so similar that the likeness has become an even bigger topic of discussion.

However, Gerber herself showed a humble response in an interview with Yahoo, stating, "I'm honored to be told I look like her, but honestly, I don't know. Even on my best days, I don't think I could come close to her."

During filming, Gerber reportedly called Crawford and asked, "Did you really style your hair like this before high school?" Crawford's answer was simply, "Yes." She even woke up at 4 a.m. on days when she had swim team practice to roll her hair. Sharing the anecdote, Gerber laughed, saying, "I've never put in that much effort for anything."

"The Shards" is a collaboration between thriller director Ryan Murphy and Bret Easton Ellis. Set in Los Angeles in 1981, it is a coming-of-age thriller exploring identity, jealousy, and obsession among graduating students at an elite private high school. Gerber expressed particular attraction to the series, which depicts an era before smartphones: "On set, everyone naturally stopped using their phones. It was a rare experience these days to spend time looking each other in the eye and building friendships that way."

Mother Cindy Crawford, born in 1966, is a leading figure of the "Original Supermodels" generation that dominated the 1980s and 1990s. After gaining fame with a Vogue cover in 1986, she signed a multi-year contract with Revlon in 1989, joining the ranks of top stars. She also expanded her career into broadcasting by hosting MTV's "House of Style."

Daughter Gerber, born in 2001, made her debut at age 10 in 2012 with a Versace Junior photoshoot. She signed with IMG Models in 2015 and debuted on the runway at the Calvin Klein show in 2017. The following year, she was appointed as the global ambassador for Yves Saint Laurent Beauty and named "Model of the Year." In 2016, she also ventured into acting with the film "Sister Cities."
