Kylie Jenner made a striking appearance at the 2024 Met Gala, marking her seventh consecutive attendance at the renowned event.
The Met Gala, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a highly anticipated affair, and Jenner, a reality star and prominent member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, certainly made her presence felt.
Her ensemble for the evening perfectly captured the gala’s theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” Jenner donned a custom ivory gown by Oscar De La Renta, evoking the image of a modern-day princess. The halter-cut design accentuated her shoulders, while a sleek bun adorned her head, allowing her ensemble to take center stage. A graceful train trailed behind her, adding to the overall elegance of her look. Keeping her makeup subtle yet sophisticated, the Kylie Cosmetics founder opted for a posh pink lip and blush.
This wasn’t Jenner’s first rodeo at the Met Gala. Having attended six previous galas, including her debut in 2016 wearing a dazzling Balmain creation, she has become a fixture at the star-studded event. Despite her initial attendance predating her current status as a mother of two and a renowned entrepreneur, Jenner was already on her way to mogul status back then. Just five months prior to her inaugural gala appearance, she had launched her now-famed lip kits.
Reflecting on her excitement during her first Met Gala experience, Jenner once told the late André Leon Talley, “This is my first ball.” When asked about her anticipation for the evening, the then-18-year-old expressed curiosity about the fashion choices of her fellow attendees, stating, “See what everyone’s wearing.”
In previous years, Jenner has captivated onlookers with her sartorial choices and clever reveals. For instance, in 2023, she stunned spectators by shedding a baby blue coat to unveil a striking red Jean Paul Gaultier gown, inspired by the theme “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.” Drawing inspiration from ’90s Chanel runway looks, Jenner’s tousled updo perfectly complemented the theme.
The 2024 Met Gala’s theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” promises a visually captivating exhibition, with approximately 250 garments and accessories spanning centuries. Nature-inspired iconography serves as a metaphor for the transient nature of fashion, exploring themes of rebirth and renewal.
In her consistent attendance and impeccable fashion choices, Jenner continues to cement her status as a style icon and a prominent figure in the fashion world.
