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.
