Kylie Jenner has solidified her status as a global fashion authority, known for bridging the gap between street style and high-fashion couture. Her appearance during the Spring/Summer 2023 season in France remains one of her most discussed sartorial moments, demonstrating her affinity for archival-inspired silhouettes.
In January 2023, the entrepreneur and media personality arrived in Paris to attend the Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture show.
The event served as a tribute to the French designer’s legacy, and Jenner’s ensemble was carefully curated to reflect the brand’s signature blend of provocative tailoring and classic elegance.

Kylie Jenner Stuns in a Plunging Jean Paul Gaultier Gown With Sculpted Corset Bodice
The beauty mogul made a bold fashion statement with her stunning outfit at the event. Kendall Jenner’s younger sister proudly displayed her fantastic physique in a series of stunning poses, and her attire was nothing short of show-stopping.
She showcased her famed curves in a plunging gown with a blue-and-bluish satin corset bodice and a figure-hugging black skirt. The fitted corset bodice, with its beautiful blue and blush tones, was the focal point of the dress and drew attention to Kylie’s hourglass figure.
Meanwhile, the black skirt hugged every curve and elongated Kylie’s legs, creating a stunning silhouette that was sure to turn heads.

Elevated Elegance: Kylie Completes the Look with Pointed Stilettos, Sleek Updo, and Bold Glam
Standing at 5ft 6 (167.6 cm), Kylie Jenner skillfully used a classic styling trick to appear taller at the Jean Paul Gaultier Spring/Summer 2023 show.
She opted for sharp black pointed-toe stiletto pumps, a silhouette renowned in fashion for its “elongating effect.” Unlike round-toe shoes that create a visual “stop,” the tapered point of her heels extends the vertical line of the leg, creating the illusion of extra height.
These pumps perfectly anchored the dramatic, architectural lines of her Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture “Mermaid” gown (designed by guest couturier Haider Ackermann). By choosing a minimalist, high-shine patent-leather finish, she allowed the sculptural blue-and-blush bustier to remain the focal point, without visual “clutter” from heavy accessories.
To complement the “Old Hollywood” glamour of the ensemble, the Kylie Cosmetics founder styled her hair into a vintage-inspired sleek updo. The structured fringe was a deliberate choice to frame her face while echoing the sharp, pointed aesthetic of her footwear.
Her makeup followed suit with high-impact “siren” eyes—achieved through dense layers of mascara—and a bold red lip that grounded the pastel tones of the corset.

Later that year, she also wore a stunning Jean Paul Gaultier dress at the 2023 Costume Institute Benefit celebrating “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
From Wolf to Aire: Kylie Jenner Unveils Her Son’s Official Name
Four days before her remarkable Jean Paul Gaultier moment, Kylie Jenner announced the full name of her almost one-year-old kid after keeping his identity a secret.
Kylie announced in February 2022 that she and her ex-boyfriend, Travis Scott, named their son Wolf. However, the businesswoman later withdrew the name announcement on Instagram and remained largely mum about the new name for most of the year.

During a September 2022 appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Kylie Jenner explained that she and Travis Scott were still finalizing their son’s name and planned to share it publicly once they were certain.
At the time, she noted that while his legal name remained Wolf, it was not the name they intended to keep, adding that the decision was still evolving.
On January 22, 2023, just days before her son’s first birthday, Kylie Jenner confirmed his name as Aire by sharing a series of photos on Instagram captioned “AIRE 🤍.”
