Kylie Jenner brought the drama to the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on Tuesday night, where she supported her beau, Timothée Chalamet. The 27-year-old entrepreneur stunned the crowd in a slinky vintage black dress that turned heads and stole the spotlight.
Jenner, alongside stylists Mackenzie Grandquist and Alexandra Rose, sourced the low-back halter gown from the renowned designer Azzedine Alaïa’s spring 1998 collection, which debuted on the runway the same year the social media star was born. This curve-hugging ensemble comes with a hefty price tag, retailing for a staggering $30,000 on luxury resale site 1stdibs.
Completing her exquisite look, Jenner adorned herself with eye-catching jewelry from Lorraine Schwartz. She sported two gigantic diamond rings—an emerald-cut sparkler on her pointer finger and an oval diamond on her pinky. Her accessories included statement diamond studs and coordinating silver earrings, enhancing her dazzling appearance.
The Sprinter founder seems to have developed a fondness for vintage Alaïa dresses. Last month, she wore a see-through leopard minidress from its 1991 collection during Paris Haute Couture Week, likely inspired by her older sister Kim Kardashian, who famously rocked a leopard catsuit version in 2019.
Meanwhile, Timothée Chalamet, 29, opted for a punchier look, showcasing a bold and colorful Prada floral button-down shirt in green and yellow. Layering it over a lime green tank, he completed his outfit with baggy True Religion bootcut jeans and white Bape sneakers. To add some flair, he adorned himself with a striking diamond choker necklace.
As is often the case, Chalamet took to the red carpet solo before meeting up with the beauty mogul inside the event. A video shared on X (formerly Twitter) showed Jenner rubbing her boyfriend’s back moments before he was announced as the recipient of the Arlington Artist of the Year Award for his stellar performance in “A Complete Unknown.”
Although they generally keep their relationship under wraps, Jenner and Chalamet have been spotted together frequently this year. The couple was first romantically linked in April 2023 and made a rare public appearance at the Golden Globes on January 5, where Jenner dazzled in a vintage Versace dress.
A few weeks later, Jenner showed her support for Chalamet after his hosting stint on SNL, joining him at the afterparty where they were captured sneaking out together. With speculation swirling, fans are left eagerly anticipating what the reality star will wear for the Oscars next month.
