Kylie Jenner can always be counted on to bring a bold look to the red carpet, and at the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City on Monday, she did not disappoint.
Known for her body-conscious outfits and trend-setting moments, Kylie surprised me with an artistic, avant-garde choice that leaned heavily into high fashion.
The beauty mogul wore a striking black Jean-Paul Gaultier Spring 2023 Haute Couture dress, created by Haider Ackermann, featuring a dramatic, spiky feather-like texture that gave a part-reptilian, part-alien effect. The bold details and unconventional silhouette were a departure from her typical red-carpet looks, usually crafted to emphasize her famous figure. Instead, this dress seemed to place more focus on the artistry of the piece itself, embracing a kind of couture that isn’t usually her signature. I’m genuinely surprised by how much I love this look, as it reveals Kylie’s deeper dive into fashion as a form of art rather than just a platform for virality.
Kylie fully committed to the runway styling, pairing the dress with Jean-Paul Gaultier’s Haute Couture t-bar shoes, along with a slicked-back hairstyle echoing the runway model’s own look.
It’s a testament to her style evolution and how she has stepped out from the shadow of her sisters, establishing a distinctive and more refined aesthetic.
I love how the look was daring without trying to be overtly provocative, proving that she doesn’t need to show skin to make a statement. This could signal a new phase in Kylie’s style journey—one that embraces art and individuality.
