Having an older sister is great—just ask anyone who has one. Depending on the age gap, there’s a whole closet of clothes waiting to be borrowed. Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian often share clothes (and who could forget that famous KUWTK argument between Kylie and Kendall in Palm Springs over borrowing from Kourtney), but this latest wardrobe raid is especially notable.
Jenner recently posted a YouTube vlog showing behind the scenes of her vacation prep for Saint-Tropez. It starts with a trip to the Alo gym, then gives followers a look at what she’s packing. Racks of colorful clothes, stacks of shoes and bags are laid out for her to try on and check the fit. First, she tries on a vintage white floral Chloé dress with a bow on the bodice. She also gives a quick glimpse of a yellow animal-print Roberto Cavalli gown. But before that, there’s an almost-neon yellow, body-hugging gown with sculptural cups and a lace-up corset that might look familiar to some.
Let’s think back to 2018. Just after the Met Gala, where Kim Kardashian wore a custom liquid gold Versace chainmail gown with embroidered cross motifs to match the “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” theme. It was directly inspired by the Byzantine details in a fall 1997 Versace couture show. Less than 24 hours later, Kim wore another statement gown. She attended a dinner in a detailed recreation of Gianni Versace’s 1994 runway look worn by model Yasmeen Ghauri: a canary yellow dress with a very high thigh slit, plunging neckline, and a bodice contoured with ribbons.
In the vlog, Jenner says the dress will “look very different” after some last-minute tailoring. She also explains that she’ll be attending a wedding while in the South of France. From what we know now, that wedding was film producer Ryan Friedkin and Julia LeBlanc’s at Château de La Messardière. Jenner attended with her longtime partner Timothée Chalamet.
The Versace gown hits the sweet spot of both Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian’s style: the sisters love the most body-contouring silhouettes and prize vintage from houses like Versace and Galliano’s Dior. And now is definitely the time to be on a ’90s Versace kick.
