Kylie Jenner made her sixth appearance at the Met Gala wearing a bright red cutout gown by Haider Ackermann for Jean Paul Gaultier with a silk sky blue robe. She wore Lorraine Schwartz jewelry as an accessory.
Jenner expressed gratitude to Ackermann in an Instagram caption, writing, "HAIDER ACKERMANN FOR JEAN PAUL GAULTIER thank you to the entire @jeanpaulgaultier team and @h.a ! i love you guyssss, you make my fashion dreams come true." She also uploaded a photo on Instagram of herself and Ackermann posing for a picture in a hugging gesture.
Along with her sisters Kendall Jenner and Kim Kardashian, she said, "I'm looking forward to making more memories with my sisters, seeing all the fashion," in an interview with Vogue correspondent La La Anthony. "I'm just here for a good time."
Who is Kylie Jenner?
Born on August 10, 1997, Kylie Kristen Jenner is an American socialite, media star, and businesswoman. She founded and is the owner of the cosmetics company Kylie Cosmetics. She was a cast member of the E! reality television series "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" from 2007 to 2021. She has 390 million Instagram followers, which is the fourth-most on the platform.
In 2012, when Jenner was 14 years old, she and her sister Kendall worked with the clothing company PacSun to create the "Kendall & Kylie" line of clothing. She introduced her own cosmetics line in 2015 under the name "Kylie Lip Kits," which was later changed to Kylie Cosmetics. They also released "Kendall and Kylie," a mobile application that peaked at number one on the iTunes App Store.
Jenner has had a significant cultural impact since the middle of the 2010s. The Jenner sisters were included on Time magazine's lists of the most influential teenagers in the world in 2014 and 2015 due to their significant influence on social media among young people. Jenner was the youngest person to appear on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list in 2017. The first season of Jenner's own spin-off series, "Life of Kylie," aired in 2017. She was named the most powerful celebrity in the fashion industry by the New York Post in November 2018.
Jenner's wealth and its portrayal in the magazine Forbes have previously been the subject of controversy. At age 21, the magazine deemed Jenner the world's youngest self-made billionaire, with a net worth of $1 billion in 2019. Jenner's claim to be self-made has generated debate. Forbes claimed in a statement that Jenner had fabricated tax returns to give the impression that she was a billionaire in May 2020.
What was the theme of the Met Gala in 2023?
This year's theme, officially titled "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," pays tribute to the well-known German fashion designer who passed away in February 2019 at the age of 85. Jenner is well-versed in the vintage scene and has long been associated with it. She undoubtedly attracted attention.
Most recently, Jenner caught many people's attention when she posed poolside in a vintage Chanel classic. The suit she wore, according to Page Six, was a component of the fashion house's spring 1995 show and was created by Lagerfeld.
The designer's signature double-C logo could be seen in bling on the back of the thong-style bottoms in one of the photos uploaded to Instagram. The bikini, despite being small, had a powerful visual impact thanks to its trio of neon colors and generous use of sparkling crystals.
Did Kylie Jenner attend previous Met Galas?
In 2022, just three months after giving birth to her son Aire with Travis Scott, Jenner finally returned to the Met Gala red carpet. The founder of Kylie Cosmetics exuded pure bridal vigor while wearing a billowing white ball gown skirt.
Only a few days after starting to flaunt her expanding baby bump in New York City, she opted out of the 2021 Met Gala, which had been postponed until September due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Balmain in 2016, Versace in 2017, Alexander Wang in 2018, and Versace once more in 2019 were among Jenner's previous Met Gala ensembles.
