While many celebrities treat the Oscars red carpet as the night’s main stage, Kylie Jenner proved that a memorable fashion moment doesn’t necessarily require one. At the Academy Awards, the beauty mogul
and reality star revealed her look ahead of the ceremony – delivering a bold shift from the all-black ensembles she has favoured throughout this awards season.
Instead, Kylie Jenner embraced the drama of monochrome in a striking cherry-red couture gown that instantly commanded attention.
A Schiaparelli Silhouette With Vintage Allure
Custom-made by Schiaparelli, Kylie’s gown was drenched in glossy, wet-look sequins that caught the light with every movement. The design featured a plunging halter neckline, a signature keyhole cutout and a sculpted body-hugging silhouette that emphasised the label’s flair for theatrical glamour.

The overall effect evoked the spirit of classic Hollywood bombshells, with Kylie herself playfully nodding to the resemblance by captioning her Instagram reveal “Jessica Who?” – a clear wink to the iconic animated seductress Jessica Rabbit.
Yet the look also felt distinctly modern. The sleek construction and minimal colour palette kept the design sharp and contemporary, reinforcing the fashion house’s signature blend of surrealist drama and couture precision.
A High-Wattage Diamond Statement
Kylie amplified the impact of the gown with a dazzling selection of jewellery from Lorraine Schwartz. The diamond suite – including statement earrings, rings and an eye-catching necklace – reportedly totalled around 200 carats.
Against the vivid red of the gown, the diamonds delivered maximum sparkle without overwhelming the look. Instead, they heightened the cinematic quality of the ensemble, giving it the kind of larger-than-life glamour that awards-season fashion thrives on.
For the glam, Kylie stayed true to a formula that has become instantly recognisable. Her makeup centred on luminous skin, softly bronzed eyes and a matte pink-nude lip, while generous blush added warmth and dimension. Her long brunette hair was styled in sweeping, voluminous waves.
Though Kylie Jenner skipped the red carpet entirely, she was later spotted arriving inside the theatre hand-in-hand with actor Timothée Chalamet, reinforcing their growing status as one of Hollywood’s most-watched couples.
