Two Generations, One Shards: Kaia Gerber and Homer Gere on Fame, Family, and 1981 LA

Vogue’s September 2026 cover profile follows Kaia Gerber and Homer Gere as they discuss their distinct paths into acting, their famous parents, and their roles in Ryan Murphy’s The Shards—a 1981 Los Angeles–set series about wealth, privilege, and the AIDS era. The piece delves into Gerber’s Meisner/Strasberg training and her private approach to fame, Gere’s art-focused upbringing and Buddhist influences, and their close cast friendship, while also addressing the public’s nepo-baby scrutiny and the balance between personal privacy and professional ambition.
