That is how she and I came to be at a theater on the Upper East Side of Manhattan on a balmy night in September. Kaia had chosen a drama about two women confronting the consequences of the new spate of anti-abortion laws. Though neither of us knew much about the play ahead of time, Kaia is drawn to difficult subjects that can lead to interesting discussions. After an intense 70 minutes without an intermission, we were both eager to discuss what we’d just seen. We stood in front of the theater waiting for our car, wondering about the actual details of the Texas anti-abortion law described in the play. But we’d only traded a few sentences when a tall man in a quarter-zip fleece stepped forward and interrupted us. “Oh man!” he said, addressing Kaia. “Did that make any sense at all?” Kaia regarded him with a friendly, patient half-smile—an inscrutable look that was neither inviting nor off-putting. I guessed it was a Kaia specialty.He did not wait for a response and answered his own question: “Ridiculous. I mean, it makes no sense. Once that premise came on—”“They lost you,” Kaia said.“Yeah,” he said. “Anyway.” And Kaia and I turned toward each other, ever so slightly closing ranks. “Alright,” he finished, and scuttled away. Then our big black car arrived, and we escaped into it. Once we were in the car, though, Kaia immediately pointed out the irony of his interrupting us. The play had been about unseen men passing laws with an appalling outcome for the pregnant woman.“I love a man being like, ‘Did that make any sense?’ ” Kaia said.We shook our heads, and laughed. “The people who are making the decisions—like that gentleman—don’t understand,” she said. After more discussion, she added, “Have you read bell hooks’s The Will to Change? It’s really a wonderful meditation on men and masculinity and just how patriarchy actually is bad for all of us.”Because of how she looks and who she is—a famous model, and the daughter of a famous model—Kaia notices people’s assumptions about her in a more concentrated way. She told me that when someone brings up an author or a book, she’ll sometimes respond with deadpan obliviousness: “Who? What’s that?” And then she’ll watch the reaction. Some people catch that she’s putting them on, but others launch into pedantic explanations. She plays dumb and lets them go on but notes to herself that she now knows what they really think of her. “It is quite entertaining…to see them react to me,” she told me. She plays with this stereotype in her acting roles as well. In 2023’s Bottoms, a movie that delights in upending many tropes about women, Kaia is a character who looks like the perfect cheerleader but who is actually all business, who can throw and take a punch, and who is aware of how reductively she is perceived. In her latest film, Saturday Night, Kaia plays another misunderstood beauty, Chevy Chase’s second wife, Jacqueline Carlin, who is eager to get involved in the action. Kaia felt protective of her. “She actually was an intellectual woman who helped him write and had a lot to offer.” “”””””ORDER COPY TO KNOW MORE”””””” “””NEWSSTAND EDITION”””MAGAZINE HAS A BAR-CODE”””BRAND NEW CONDITION”””
