Kai, who is transgender, recently spoke in-depth about how she had struggled ‘with gender identity from a young age’ and ‘always wanted to grow up and be a beautiful, glamorous, influential woman, like Marilyn’ Monroe.

She told Interview Magazine she has studied how people in the transgender community navigated stormy waters in the past.

The daughter of the Ray Donovan star, 57, and two-time Oscar nominee, 56,  named figures she found inspirational ‘as a young trans girl’ navigating life through turbulent times for the community.

‘I’m always going to look up to the older generation of transgender people, especially in fashion,’ Kai told the magazine.

‘People like Alex Consani, Hunter Schafer, Hari Nef, Dara, Richie Shazam, Colin Jones, and so many more,’ Kai said. ‘It’s so great that there’s a strong community of us in the fashion world; it’s really a doll takeover.’ 

The nepo baby said that she had a breakthrough earlier this year when working for the fashion house Valentino.

‘That job made me realise, ‘OK, this is what I want to do,’ Kai said. ‘I want to be a supermodel. Period.’

Kai opened up to the publication about what she’s been doing in terms of honing her craft as a regular presence on the catwalk.

The mother-daughter duo were beaming as they enjoyed quality time together at the glamorous event 

‘I’ve been practising my walks in the kitchen for years; my mom can show you all the videos I forced her to film,’ Kai said. 

Kai also opened up about her fashion preferences in the wide-ranging chat with the publication – joking she’s ‘basic, but in a chic way.’

Kai said of her couture choices: ‘I love my low-rise jeans and black cardigan. That’s my go-to outfit. I love when people have their own personal style.

‘If you’re presenting yourself in a unique, cool way, people are immediately drawn in and want to know more. If every person was walking around in the same outfit, fashion wouldn’t be a thing.’

Kai said that ‘the world [is] more fun’ with fashion in the mix.

She took to Instagram to thank those involved with the feature as she said: ‘I can’t put into words how excited & grateful I am for this project. Thank you to the Interview team for the opportunity, and thank you Dara & everyone for making it such a fun and comfortable experience for me on set.’

Kai recently spoke about her gender identity struggle – as well as what she expires to achieve in the modeling world (Seen in March)

Naomi said on her Instagram that Kai was ‘continuing to kill it’ and that she was ‘proud’ of her.

Kai has received public support from both of her famed folks, as Liev told Variety last month about what he felt was the most impactful moment as the parent of a trans child.

‘Kai was always who Kai is,’ The Manchurian Candidate actor said. ‘But I suppose the most profound moment was her asking us to change her pronouns.

‘To be honest with you, it didn’t feel like that big of a deal to me only because Kai had been so feminine for so long.’

The Perfect Couple star continued: ‘Kai is such a fighter. It’s important that she goes, “Hey, I am trans,” and, “Look at me.”‘
