Kendall Jenner barefoot at the Louvre at midnight is giving me anxiety. No, that’s not the title of a new Lana Del Rey song, it’s a thing that happened.
The model, in Paris for Fashion Week and Vogue World, recently posted pictures of herself looking at some iconic artworks wearing a black top and skirt, and no shoes, captioning the photo dump “The Louvre at midnight.” No one else seems to be around.
On Instagram, reactions have ranged from impressed to disgusted, with one commenter writing, “We get it. You’re so filthy rich you can get the louvre to open at midnight just for you to walk barefoot around the historic halls. 😭😩,” but another admiring, “you know how powerful this woman is when she can have all the Louvre for herself in the middle of the night.” I mean, surely there are more pressing issues caused by wealth inequality than proximity to the Mona Lisa; like, if you’re at the Louvre at all, you’re probably already somewhat privileged, but I do get it.
Can I hear a little commotion for the back of the dress?
More to the point, it’s a very high-trafficked choice for a Kendall Jenner barefoot moment.
“Dogs out at the louvre is crazy” commented one person. Amen. Despite being an absolutely beautiful city, Paris is, I’m sorry, really dirty! The Seine is super polluted, and remember last Paris Fashion Week when everyone got bedbugs? The Olympics are gonna be a mess and I love it.
If you’re thinking of visiting the City of Light anytime soon, we highly recommend the Onitsuka Tiger sneakers that Jenner herself is fond of. They’re similar to the popular Adidas Sambas, but don’t look like every other pair of walking shoes every other tourist will be wearing. But the important part is that you wear shoes of some kind, any kind. Can’t stress this enough: wear shoes.
