Kylie Jenner stole the spotlight at the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City, gracing the red carpet in a feathered Jean Paul Gaultier dress from the brand’s spring 2023 couture collection, designed by Haider Ackermann. Known for her bold fashion choices, Jenner opted for the couture gown styled by Alexandra and Mackenzie Grandquist, who have collaborated with her on past events like the Met Gala and Paris Fashion Week.
Jenner completed the look with a sleek updo and a makeup palette that included winged eyeliner, pink blush, and a matte nude lip. Ackermann’s collection for Jean Paul Gaultier, lauded by fashion critics for blending minimalism with sensual undertones, brought new energy to the late designer’s legacy. WWD’s Miles Socha highlighted the collection’s “rigorous yet simmering” style, a description that resonates with Jenner’s avant-garde red-carpet statement.
A Vintage Look for a New Venture
Days before the CFDA event, Jenner attended a New York pop-up for her new brand, Sprinter, a canned vodka soda line. She chose a vintage 1994 navy Gianni Versace dress with a wet-look finish, accessorizing with silver Louboutin peep-toe heels and a crystallized Sprinter can. Jenner launched Sprinter earlier this year, offering flavors like Black Cherry, Lime, Grapefruit, and Peach, inspired by her sister Kendall Jenner’s successful 818 Tequila brand.
