The last time Kylie Jenner attended a Schiaparelli haute couture show, the reality TV star turned beauty mogul caused a huge uproar thanks to her wild front-row look. No, literally. The faux taxidermy lion’s head prowling across Jenner’s dress was, at the time, thought to be a) real, b) a blatant endorsement of trophy hunting, and c) grossly insensitive to just about anyone who cares remotely about animal cruelty.
In place of that lion’s mane – which was actually made from foam and resin and said to celebrate the glory of nature – the 26-year-old billionaire wore a crystal-dotted, baby-pink corset dress, celebrating the glory of the body that has helped make her fortune. It’s a formula we’re familiar with in Paris. While stylists Alexandra and Mackenzie Grandquist major in sourcing street-inflected looks, from Alaïa to Margiela, for their client, Paris is where old-school glamour wins every time.
