Kylie Jenner elevated the red carpet vibes at the prestigious 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards on Monday in New York City, where she left an indelible mark with her ensemble. The renowned influencer and reality TV star donned a feathery masterpiece from Jean Paul Gaultier's spring 2023 couture collection, meticulously crafted by Haider Ackermann. Since 2021, stylists Alexandra and Mackenzie Grandquist have been the masterminds behind Jenner's breathtaking red carpet transformations, curating her looks for glamorous affairs like the Academy Museum Gala, the Met Gala, and Paris Fashion Week.
For this occasion, Jenner styled her dark locks into a chic updo, complementing her attire with striking winged eyeliner, a gentle sweep of pink blush, and a matte nude lip that added a subtle touch of elegance. Commenting on the couture collection, WWD's Miles Socha remarked, "Haider Ackermann inscribed his own distinctive mark on Jean Paul Gaultier's formidable fashion legacy, crafting pieces that were minimal and rigorous, yet simmering with understated sexual allure." Ackermann himself echoed this sentiment backstage, stating, "Occasionally, we overlook the purity of his work, which was impeccable. I yearned to reconnect with what I admire most about his creations."
Just last week, the Kylie Cosmetics founder graced a New York pop-up event for her canned vodka soda venture, Sprinter, embodying the brand's cool blue identity in a vintage navy Gianni Versace dress from 1994. The dress, characterized by its glossy fabric that evoked a wet-look allure, was accessorized with silver peep-toe Christian Louboutin heels and a dazzling crystallized Sprinter can. Earlier this year, Jenner ventured into the liquor world with her brand, offering four refreshing flavors: Black Cherry, Lime, Grapefruit, and Peach. Following in her elder sister Kendall Jenner's footsteps, whose 818 Tequila was launched in 2021, Kylie has now carved her own niche in the spirits industry.
The glittering 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards unfolded at the historic American Museum of Natural History in New York on October 28, with Cynthia Erivo serving as the emceed host. Among the esteemed honorees at this year's ceremony were Coach, Michael Kors, Annie Leibovitz, and Erykah Badu, who was awarded the highly anticipated Fashion Icon Award.
