Kylie Jenner attended the 2026 Met Gala in a custom Schiaparelli outfit that left onlookers in awe. Her look featured a nude corset with faux nipples and an expansive skirt embellished with an astounding 10,000 baroque pearls.
This year’s theme was ‘Costume Art’, with the dress code emphasizing that Fashion Is Art. The intricate skirt required approximately 11,000 hours of embroidery work, showcasing the craftsmanship behind this stunning piece.
Jenner’s ensemble marked her ninth appearance at the Met Gala, a testament to her evolving style. She debuted bleached eyebrows at this event, further pushing the boundaries of fashion norms.
The Met Gala took place on May 4, 2026, at the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This annual event co-chaired by Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour raised funds for the museum’s Costume Institute.
That context matters because it places Jenner’s look within a broader conversation about art and fashion. The exhibition related to this year’s theme will be open to the public from May 10, 2026, through January 10, 2027.
Fashion insiders had mixed reactions to her outfit. Iggy Rosales commented, “The dress feels like it’s slipping away,” highlighting its avant-garde nature. Meanwhile, Kylie herself joked about her lack of brows: “I don’t have any brows with me luck.”
In addition to her striking appearance, Jenner launched her clothing brand Khy in 2023. This venture aligns with her ongoing influence in the fashion industry and underscores her commitment to creative expression.
