Bright locks, luscious lips, and a mini-fortune’s worth of stacked bracelets or matching your car to your outfit of the day — there has never been a shortage of fashion inspiration from the iconic Jenner beauty mogul, whether it’s attainable or delightfully outrageous. In recent years, Kylie has notably toned down the eccentricity, opting for a more demure, hot-mom aesthetic in her looks, while her public appearances seem to be becoming increasingly exclusive.
Yet, in most cases, it has been one stunning outfit after another, to the point where Kylie might be the last person you’d associate with fashion fails. However, even the mighty can stumble. Kylie graced the red carpet at the fourth Academy Museum Gala in a vintage Thierry Mugler couture gown from the Spring/Summer 1998 collection.
The look was… underwhelming. And the internet agrees. If you’re wondering how a vintage Thierry Mugler piece could be deemed a fashion fail, the answer lies in the modifications made to suit Kylie’s personal style. The champagne-hued sheer and shimmering bodysuit inlay, layered with a sleek black skirt featuring thong-like cutouts at the hips, somehow lost its allure when the bodysuit was tailored to fit Kylie’s petite frame too snugly, leaving no room to breathe — a common theme with the Kardashian-Jenner clan.

“The designer must hate Kylie,” “Kylie, nooooo,” “Is that… bubble wrap?? The top half of Kylie’s dress looks like something I’d use to protect a fragile package 💀,” and “What? This is terrible,” were among the reactions that captured the essence of the attention Kylie’s look received. Speaking of attention, the sister moment she shared with Kendall Jenner, who wore a black Schiaparelli cutout couture dress and flaunted her recently blonded Hollywood glam locks, saw Kendall completely steal the spotlight.
Kendall’s look was a success, unlike Kylie’s OOTN, with comments like: “Kendall, you look stunning!” and “Kendall’s dress is so unique! I can’t believe the talent that went into that pattern!”
