Kaia Gerber Steps Into Uni Role as First Creative Partner

Kaia Gerber co-hosted Uni’s Summer Uni Party in Los Angeles on June 18, wearing a crisp white Calvin Klein Collection look, as she was announced as the brand’s first-ever creative partner in residence.
Kaia Gerber didn’t just show up for summer—she hosted it.
On Thursday, June 18, the 24-year-old model and actress stepped out in Los Angeles for Uni’s Summer Uni Party, co-hosting the event with Uni founder Alexandra Keating. She posed in front of the glowing Uni sign and mingled with guests throughout the night.
Gerber leaned fully into the warm-weather mood in a crisp white Calvin Klein Collection outfit from the Spring 2026 runway collection. The look was a structured silk apron-style mini dress with skinny straps, side cutouts, an open-back design, and pockets. She finished it with a white washed satin headscarf and white leather pumps.
The gathering drew plenty of familiar faces. Guests included Jake Shane, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Laura Harrier, Eleanore Toulin, Pia Mance, and Sarah Holt, with attendees seen chatting and enjoying drinks outdoors while posing for group photos.
The night carried extra weight because it came right after Uni announced that Gerber is its first-ever creative partner in residence. In a press release. the brand tied the partnership to her connection to its products. saying the collaboration “celebrates Uni’s philosophy that body care deserves the same attention. intention. and efficacy as facial skincare.”.
Her role will span “across content, product innovation, marketing initiatives, and broader creative direction.”
It also follows momentum beyond fashion and beauty: in May, it was announced that Gerber will star in an erotic thriller with her real-life boyfriend Lewis Pullman.

Creative partner in residence?? Sounds like a fancy way to say she gets paid to be there.
Ok but why is body care getting compared to facial skincare like that’s the same thing lol. Also she hosted it in LA so I guess that’s the whole story.
Wait I thought “creative partner in residence” means like… she’s gonna design the next bottle or something? But it says content and marketing and innovation which is basically just influencer stuff. And the erotic thriller thing—does Uni have anything to do with that or did people just mix headlines up?
The dress sounds expensive, but I can’t lie the white headscarf and open-back thing is giving “I’m modeling for a perfume ad.” I also saw Lewis Pullman in the news and assumed that’s why she got the role, like boyfriend PR push or whatever, not because of Uni’s body care thing. Press release words always sound weirdly clinical anyway. Guess it’s just another fashion moment that turns into skincare marketing.
