Kylie Jenner recently reignited her “King Kylie” persona, sharing striking new photos on Instagram on Wednesday, October 15. The beauty mogul stunned in a black latex dress featuring extreme cutouts. The ensemble showcased her figure.
The look was completed with a shiny French manicure, diamond rings spelling “KJ,” and a sparkling choker. Fans quickly celebrated the return of her audacious style, a period they dubbed “King Kylie.”
Many online observers were quick to draw comparisons to her sister Kendall Jenner’s controversial wedding guest outfit from November 2021. Kendall’s look had previously stirred significant discussion among fashion critics and fans.
Kendall, 29, generated a social media flurry after posting a mirror selfie with Hailey Bieber from friend Lauren Perez’s wedding in Miami. She wore a black Mônot dress with daring cutouts for the reception, having changed from her bridesmaid attire. The bride, Perez, opted for a classic Vera Wang strapless design.
Critics at the time deemed Kendall’s outfit “inappropriate” for a wedding, suggesting she overshadowed the bride. However, Perez publicly defended her, stating Jenner looked “spectacular” and that she “loved” the dress. Kendall also confirmed that Perez had approved the outfit in advance.
Kylie’s recent photos made a strong visual impact on her followers. The 28-year-old paired her latex dress with black open-toe stilettos and a Hermès Sellier bag. The crocodile-finish bag, accented with a diamond clasp, reportedly carries a resale value of $300,000 USD.
Her complete styling included a sculpted contour, cascading curls, a fierce cat eyeliner, and bright pink blush. The overall effect ignited comments about her boundary-pushing fashion choices.
Jenner captioned her Instagram post, “Be careful what you wish for 👑.” A fan quickly responded, “This is exactly what I wished for.” Another commented, “The Cartier bracelets, the glam, the fit 😩🖤✨.” Sister Khloé Kardashian also weighed in, asking, “OMG, are we okay?”
This fashion statement coincides with the promotion of Kylie’s new “King Kylie Collection” for Kylie Cosmetics. Earlier this week, she further pushed boundaries by posing nude with only body glitter and a crown for the collection’s marketing.
The new line includes revamped versions of her 2015 Lip Kits. Discontinued shades like True Brown K and Dead as Knight are making a return.
Limited-edition shades are also part of the collection. These include a bright pink called Like, a mauve gloss named Literally, and a chrome varnish known as She’s Back.
Kylie proudly announced her “King Kylie Collection” on Instagram on Monday, October 13. She expressed her gratitude to fans, stating they were the reason her “biggest cosmetic dreams came true” and acknowledged their continued support “10 years later.”
She specifically mentioned seeing fan requests for a “King Kylie” collection. She described this as the “bold era” she experienced at 17, and noted her 2022 tweet hinting at its return. She wanted to deliver exactly what her audience was anticipating.
Jenner concluded her post by thanking her fans “wholeheartedly” for joining her journey. She stated her hope that the collection would bring them as much joy as it brought her. The “King Kylie Collection” launches on October 18 at 12 PM PST on KYLIECOSMETICS.COM.
