While many celebrities treat the Oscars red carpet as their moment to shine, Kylie Jenner proved that a powerful fashion statement can happen even before stepping into the spotlight. The beauty mogul and reality star revealed her outfit ahead of the Academy Awards ceremony, surprising fans with a bold change from the all-black looks she had been wearing throughout this awards season.
This time, Kylie Jenner chose a striking monochrome look in a deep cherry-red couture gown that instantly caught attention.
The custom-made dress was designed by the luxury fashion house Schiaparelli. Covered in glossy, wet-look sequins, the gown shimmered under the light and created a dramatic visual effect with every movement. The design featured a plunging halter neckline along with a distinctive keyhole cutout at the front. The body-hugging silhouette highlighted the sculpted structure of the gown, reflecting Schiaparelli’s signature style of blending bold creativity with high-fashion craftsmanship.
The overall appearance reminded many of the glamorous, dramatic looks associated with classic Hollywood icons. Kylie even playfully referenced that vibe while sharing her outfit on Instagram, hinting at the resemblance to the famous animated character Jessica Rabbit.
At the same time, the look felt modern and polished. The sleek shape of the dress and the strong single-colour palette gave the outfit a contemporary edge, while still capturing the dramatic flair that Schiaparelli is known for in the world of couture fashion.
Kylie Jenner elevated the ensemble further with an impressive selection of jewellery from Lorraine Schwartz. Her accessories included statement earrings, rings, and a standout necklace made entirely of diamonds. Altogether, the jewellery reportedly featured around 200 carats of diamonds, adding a dazzling touch to the already eye-catching outfit.
Despite the sparkle, the diamonds complemented the gown rather than overpowering it. Against the rich red colour of the dress, the jewellery enhanced the glamorous, cinematic feel of the overall look — exactly the kind of larger-than-life style often seen during awards season.
For her beauty look, Kylie Jenner stayed close to the makeup style she is known for. Her makeup featured glowing skin, softly bronzed eye makeup, and a matte pink-nude lip colour. A generous touch of blush added warmth and dimension to her face. Her long brunette hair was styled in loose, voluminous waves, completing the polished appearance.
Interestingly, Kylie Jenner did not walk the Oscars red carpet at all. Instead, she was later seen arriving inside the theatre holding hands with actor Timothée Chalamet. Their appearance together once again drew attention to their relationship, which has increasingly become one of Hollywood’s most talked-about celebrity pairings.
