Kylie Jenner touched down in New York to celebrate the Thierry Mugler Archive Exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum on Tuesday, Nov. 15. Wearing an entirely sheer black catsuit with web-like stitching, covered by a white satin cape, she gave off Morticia Addams vibes as she took in the sights at the immersive retrospective, which will remain on view through May 7.
Jenner’s look was, of course, designed by the late Thierry Mugler, hailing from his spring 1997 Couture collection. Sharing an image in her Instagram carousel, she showed off the catsuit that was underneath the cape while posing against a white wall in her hotel room, covering her bare chest and making for a leggy moment in cheeky black underwear and satin pumps. Her hair was pulled away from her face, styled into two oversize retro swoops atop her head. The look was completed with a berry-toned lip and cat-eye makeup.
This was one of two ensembles the 25-year-old beauty mogul sported at the event, having stepped onto the red carpet in a black satin corseted gown with a feathered hem and opera-length satin gloves to match, all from the designer’s archives. On her head was a diamond-encrusted headpiece that matched her massive diamond stud earrings. She was escorted to the step and repeat in her heavy costume by the house’s current creative director Casey Cadwallader, who posed with her for several photos.
Jenner was not the only celebrity to stun on the red carpet wearing Mugler, however, as Julia Fox, Lourdes Leon, and more also arrived in the brand’s signature sculptural leather pieces. Fox, 32, wore a look that was decidedly modest for the star, selecting a cropped cutout blazer, brown leather wrap skirt, and coordinated thigh-high boots. Meanwhile, Leon, 26, chose a sheer catsuit similar to the spandex styles that have previously been worn by everyone from Beyoncé to Miley Cyrus.
Ahead, see Jenner’s documentation from the evening — including when she posed in front of the 1999 Thierry Mugler dress she wore to the CFDA Awards on Nov. 7 — along with the rest of the arrivals at the event.
