Kendall Jenner Just Wore a Naked G-String Dress to the Met Gala

The theme of the 2021 Met Gala? American fashion. Tonight, that’s been open to many interpretations ranging from J. Lo’s Ralph Lauren look topped off with a cowboy hat to Bille Eilish’s nod to Old Hollywood glamour with a voluminous Oscar de la Renta gown. Kendall Jenner similarly took inspiration from Old Hollywood, reimagining a Givenchy look designed for Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady.

Kendall Jenner’s spin: a crystal-embellished dress with a cascading train, also designed by Givenchy. The version worn by Jenner includes an eye-catching see-through finish, styled with a nude thong. The stunning jeweled neckpiece and shoulder pieces emulate the original, while her slicked-back hair adds a modern touch to the iconic original. Ahead, take a look at Kendall Jenner’s beautiful bejeweled look for the 2021 Met Gala.
