Let us all pray that Kylie Jenner—proud owner of the world’s least discrete phone background—got Kourtney Kardashian’s express permission to sit front row at the Dolce & Gabbana spring-summer 2024 show on September 23.
The youngest member of the KarJenner clan—who frankly has “la dolce vita lifestyle thief” written all over her—perched next to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Halle Bailey to take in Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana’s latest sensual offering in Milan, titled simply Women. But if the creations on the catwalk tipped toward lingerie dressing, Jenner—usually not one to shy away from lace, leather, or any combination of the two—was dressed demurely in a (literally) buttoned-up look with an exaggerated shirt collar that felt more French maid than Italian bombshell. (There’s a Timothée Chalamet joke in there somewhere, but I will not be taking that bait.)
The 26-year-old has become a familiar face on the fashion circuit this year, and—to her credit—she’s been doing her research. To watch sister Kendall open Prada, she truffled out the closing look from the house’s spring-summer 2010 collection, styling the crystal skirt originally modeled by Kate Kosushkina with Prada’s Technical Jersey Turtleneck.
Kylie saved her best vintage coup for Instagram, though (one does not simply happen upon 400 million followers): the dress worn by Naomi Campbell in Miuccia Prada’s spring-summer 1992 collection, which nodded to the ladylike elegance of the likes of Jackie Kennedy. (Jackie would have been all over Jenner’s Dolce & Gabbana tailoring, in fact.) The nude dress, embellished with three-dimensional daisies, epitomized Mrs. Prada’s aesthetic in the early ’90s and was “inspired by the crisp fabrics and tailoring of the 1950s and 1960s haute couture.”
Kylie Jenner Is Balletcore’s Biggest Fan in Leggings Worn Under a Skirt
Yes, leggings under a skirt.
“I like to link the future with the past,” the designer told Vogue at the time—and so, it seems, does Jenner.
