Kylie Jenner honours Mugler in spectacular vintage headpiece

Kylie Jenner is fast becoming the poster girl for archival Mugler.

Last night the beauty boss attended the opening of the Mugler Couturissime Exhibition Opening in a striking black gown from the French luxury fashion house’s autumn/ winter 1995 couture collection. Featuring a fishtail skirt and trademark winged neckline, which Jenner exaggerated by tying her long brown hair into a beehive bun, the reality TV accessorised the mesmerising look with an otherworldly diamante headpiece and feathered gloves.

After owning the red carpet, Jenner slipped into a sheer, bodysuit that she paired with a billowy white Mugler clock circa 1997. Alongside her good pal Casey Cadwallader, the creative director of Mugler since December 2017, she checked out the treasure trove of ready-to-wear, haute couture silhouettes, stage costumes, videos and photographs inside the exhibition.

The 25-year-old has been proudly flaunting her love for Mugler over the last year, having attended the 2022 CFDA Fashion Awards earlier this month in a vintage 90s Mugler dress and the Business of Fashion’s ‘BoF 500’ event in a seductive, lacey catsuit from the brand’s archive.

It’s not just Kylie either, the whole of the Kardashian-Jenner clan are Mugler fans. Older sister Kim Kardashian famously wore an impossible clinched, custom wet-look Latex gown that was oozing with crystal chains to the 2019 Met Gala.

“My heart breaks. There’s no one like you! Your vision, your transformations, your magic! I am so honored to have known you, spent time with you and be a muse for you,” Kardashian wrote after Manfred Thierry Mugler passed earlier this year.

“There was so much more for you to show the world and that we had planned to do together, but you already gave us so much.” She added under the photo dump of Mugler looks she has sported over the year, including a sexy, black cut-out gown she wore to the 5th Annual Hollywood Beauty Awards in 2019 and snakeskin dress that she donned during New York fashion week in 2019.

With the Kardashian-Jenner-Mugler love affair only growing stronger, be sure to expect even more iconic Mugler red carpet moments over the coming months.
