Kylie Jenner had a signature look when she joined Timothée Chalamet at awards shows this year: a good black gown. From the Oscars and BAFTAs to the 70th David Di Donatello Awards in Rome (where she and Chalamet made their red carpet debut), Jenner chose black dresses for a thoughtful reason: She didn’t want to upstage her partner during his big moment.
She explained to Harper’s Bazaar, “Although these are the most beautiful, iconic gowns that I’ve been wearing, I think a black dress is also kind of like, not too attention grabbing in the best way. You can never go wrong with a black dress.”
Still, she hadn’t planned on wearing black at the David Di Donatello Awards. “Even recently, I was like, ‘I can’t wear another black dress,’” she recalled. “And then of course the most perfect, gorgeous Schiaparelli black dress shows up.”
Jenner describes her style as versatile: “I think that I’m kind of a chameleon with my style; I love to play. I’ve been like that since I was 16. I changed my hair color like once a week and cut my hair off and then put a wig on or put extensions in; and I’ve always switched up my style. It’s just a part of who I am, and that definitely bleeds into [my fashion brand] Khy.”
Jenner spoke more about her fashion evolution in ELLE’s November 2024 issue, admitting that she is “always experimenting. At the root of my authentic style, I think I’m more dark feminine.”
