We’ve got to hand it to Kylie Jenner: Her latest look is anything but boring.
The makeup mogul stepped out in London Thursday wearing an eye-catching pink jacket and fitted black miniskirt, both adorned with padded 3D gloves that lent the look of extra hands hugging her curves.
The surrealist styles hail from Rei Kawakubo’s fall 2007 collection for Comme des Garçons, which also included Minnie Mouse-inspired hats and dresses with tiny baby frocks stitched to the front.
“I’m tired of mundane, everyday fashion,” Kawakubo said of her designs at the time, per Vogue Runway. “I’m curious. I want something that takes us to another world.”
Jenner’s groping getup is certainly otherworldly — and a piece of fashion history, in fact, as a similar look from the same Comme des Garçons collection currently resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
Kawakubo’s avant-garde creations are also hot commodities for fashion collectors; a version of Jenner’s outfit with pants in place of a skirt sold for almost $7,000 on 1stdibs.
The “Kardashians” star, who was joined by 4-year-old daughter Stormi for her outing in the UK capital, is no stranger to a wearable optical illusion.
In June, she made headlines for “freeing the nipple” in a trompe l’oeil bikini printed with a pair of nude breasts, and at May’s 2022 Billboard Music Awards, she walked the red carpet in a Balmain gown that similarly lent the illusion of being see-through.
When “naked” dresses no longer turn heads, there’s always a handsy skirt suit.
