It's the first major public appearance Kylie Jenner has made in a post-Kylothee (that's Kylie and Timothée, as in Chalamet) world, so, of course, she had to do it up big. To the 2023 Met Gala, Jenner wore a playful Jean Paul Gaultier dress with a built-in wow factor.
Leaving the hotel, Jenner appeared to be wearing an oversized blue jacket reminiscent of a boxer's robe. When she got to the carpet, however, she shrugged off the jacket, which transformed into the train of her ruby-red, figure-hugging dress.
The single-sleeve gown was heavy on the sex-appeal thanks to its dramatic neckline and even more dramatic side-slit. Jenner's bright red D'Orsay pumps mimicked the asymmetrical style of the dress, and her hair and makeup were all classic glamour.
Historically, Jenner's Met Gala looks have been hit-or-miss with a lot of folks, and the bridal gown she wore to the 2022 gala is a prime example. The dress code was “gilded glamour,” and Jenner took the opportunity to dress in honor of her friend Virgil Abloh, the founder of the brand Off-White, who had died a few months previously. “To celebrate V tonight and his incredible legacy truly means the world to me. i’m humbled to wear this dress and honour my talented beautiful friend. we felt you tonight Virgil and love you forever,” she wrote in an Instagram caption, per Page Six.
The 2023 Met Gala theme was in honour of another departed fashion great, Karl Lagerfeld, who Kylie Jenner honoured simply by looking fabulous.
