When 6’2” supermodel Karlie Kloss isn’t on the catwalk or hosting Project Runway, she’s rubbing elbows with some pretty powerful people. Sure, her brother-in-law Jared Kushner has keys to the White House.
But it was fashion designer Diane Von Furstenberg who introduced Kloss to the 86-year-old Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (AKA: Notorious RBG) who is reportedly 5’1″.
[Kloss is wearing the DVF Melina Sequined Jersey Knee-Length Dress, $698.]
Kloss writes that Ginsburg is her “lifelong hero” and that she waited for an hour outside Ginsburg’s door hoping to get to meet her. Kloss explains, “Yes, I look a little awkward here but aren’t we all when we get to meet our forever role model?”
Many of Kloss’s famous friends replied including one of the original supermodels, Elle MacPherson, who wrote: “Goddess with guts.”
Martha Stewart (who was once a model, too!) wrote: “You are 100% correct in your comments about this astonishing woman I am happy you got to meet her.” P.S. Kloss and Stewart share the same birthday…
Project Runway airs Thursdays at 9 pm on Bravo.
